BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0022] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a carton sealing machine labeling alarm and rejection system provided in an embodiment of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a carton sealing machine labeling alarm and rejection system, which is applied to the labeling process of cigarette boxes. When cigarettes are produced, cigarette strips are fed into the carton sealing machine for packing, and the packed cigarette boxes are further labeled. The labeling is completed by the labeling machine, that is, a barcode label containing product information in the cigarette box is pasted on the outside of the cigarette box. In the process of labeling the cigarette boxes, there are often phenomena such as errors in the information contained in the labels, errors in the labeling position, and omissions of labels. When these defects occur, the rejection system of the carton sealing machine will reject the corresponding cigarette box from the production line, and then the relevant operator will The operator will centrally process the rejected cigarette boxes, and also classify and store them according to the type of labeling errors for different subsequent processing. Since the operator does not know the specific type of labeling errors in the rejected cigarette boxes, it is necessary to check the cigarette boxes one by one to accurately classify and store them. The process of checking one by one will take a lot of time, the operator's workload is large, which is not conducive to improving production efficiency. The labeling alarm and rejection system of the carton sealing machine of this application is intended to facilitate the operator to grasp the types of labeling errors in the cigarette boxes rejected by the carton sealing machine, so as to improve the operator's efficiency in classifying and processing the rejected cigarette boxes.

[0025] The system includes a carton sealing machine controller 101, a labeling machine 102, a labeling detector 103, a rejection module 104, a display module 105 and an alarm module 106. A conveyor belt is provided on the carton sealing machine. The cigarette boxes sealed by the carton sealing machine are conveyed to the subsequent process by the conveyor belt. The labeling machine 102 and the labeling detector 103 are both arranged along the conveyor belt, and in the conveying direction of the conveyor belt, the labeling machine 102 is located downstream of the labeling detector 103. The labeling machine 102 is electrically connected to the carton sealing machine controller 101. The labeling machine 102 is used to label the outer surface of the cigarette box. The labeling detector 103 is electrically connected to the labeling machine 102. The labeling detector 103 is used to detect the labels on the cigarette box. The labeling position, the specific product information contained in the labeling, and whether there is any omission in the labeling are detected. If the label is not pasted, the labeling position is wrong, and the product information contained in the labeling is incorrect, it indicates that the labeling is wrong. The rejection module 104 is electrically connected to the carton sealing machine controller 101, and is used to reject the cigarette boxes with incorrect labels detected by the labeling detector 103. The display module 105 is electrically connected to the carton sealing machine controller 101, and is used to display the type of incorrect labeling on the cigarette boxes detected by the labeling detector 103. The alarm module 106 is electrically connected to the carton sealing machine controller 101. When the labeling detector 103 detects a cigarette box with an incorrect label, the alarm module 106 sends an alarm message to remind the operator.

[0026] In this embodiment, when the labeling detector 103 detects a labeling error on the cigarette box, the labeling detector 103 transmits the information to the labeling machine 102, and the labeling machine 102 stops running and continues to transmit the information to the carton sealing machine controller 101. Under the control of the carton sealing machine controller 101, the alarm module 106 sends an alarm message to remind the operator, and the rejection module 104 rejects the incorrectly labeled cigarette boxes from the production line, and displays the type of labeling error through the display module 105. In this way, the operator can know the type of labeling error of the rejected cigarette boxes through the display device, so that the operator can classify and store them. Under the action of the alarm module 106, the relevant operators can be informed in time that unqualified cigarette boxes have been rejected, which is conducive to improving the overall work efficiency.

[0027] In this embodiment, the labeling detector 103 includes a camera 1031 and an image processing system 1032. When the cigarette box passes through the labeling machine 102 and is labeled, the labeling information is captured by the camera 1031, and then judged by the image processing system. If it is found that the label is missing or the position is wrong, or the product information corresponding to the label is incorrect, the labeling detector 103 feeds back a signal to the labeling machine 102, so that the labeling machine 102 stops and feeds back a signal to the carton sealing machine controller 101, and the alarm module 106 sends an alarm to remind the operator to handle the abnormality. The carton sealing machine controller 101 is connected to the display module 105 and the alarm module 106 through the serial port. The rejection module 104 is connected to the carton sealing machine controller 101 through the field bus protocol. The carton sealing machine controller 101 controls the rejection module 104 to reject the cigarette boxes with incorrect labels. The carton sealing machine controller 101 preferably includes a built-in data processing module 1011 and a built-in storage module 1012. The carton sealing machine controller 101 combines the labeling error type information such as missing cigarette box labels, incorrect cigarette box labeling position, and information contained in the cigarette box labels not corresponding to the product with the action information of the rejection module 104 through the built-in data processing module 1011 to obtain a rejection record, and store it in the storage module 1012 established in the carton sealing machine controller 101.

[0028] More preferably, the system further comprises a non-smoking label control module 107, which is electrically connected to the carton sealing machine controller 101. Under the action of the non-smoking label control module 107, the carton sealing machine and the labeling machine 102 can be switched between a mode for producing labeled cigarette boxes and a mode for producing non-labeled cigarette boxes. In the mode for producing labeled cigarette boxes, the carton sealing machine controller 101, the labeling machine 102, the labeling detector 103, the rejection module 104, the display module 105 and the alarm module 106 and other components all operate normally. After the cigarette boxes are packed by the carton sealing machine, they are labeled by the labeling machine 102 and then detected by the labeling detector 103. In the mode for producing non-labeled cigarette boxes, that is, the produced cigarette boxes do not need to be labeled, and therefore, there is no need for detection and rejection. Therefore, the labeling machine 102, the labeling detector 103, the rejection module 104 and the alarm module 106 all stop running, thereby improving the production adaptability of the carton sealing machine and helping to reduce costs.

[0029] The non-smoking label control module 107 includes a manual switching module 1071 and a labeling machine switching module 1072. Under the action of the manual switching module 1071 and the labeling machine switching module 1072, the switching between the mode of producing labeled cigarette boxes and the mode of producing non-labeled cigarette boxes can be achieved in two ways. For the manual switching module 1071, the manual switching module 1071 is electrically connected to the carton sealing machine controller 101. The manual switching module 1071 is set on the operation panel of the carton sealing machine and is connected to the carton sealing machine controller 101 through serial port communication. The labeling machine 102 is switched to the mode of producing non-labeled cigarette boxes through the manual switching module 1071. After switching to this mode, the labeling machine 102 stops running, the labeling detector 103 stops running, and the alarm module 106 is turned off through the carton sealing machine controller 101. At this time, it can be used for the production of cigarette boxes without labeling. In this case, the mode switching It is realized by controlling on the carton sealing machine operation panel; for the labeling machine switching module 1072, the labeling machine 102 also includes a labeling machine controller 1021, the labeling machine controller 1021 is arranged on the labeling machine 102, the labeling machine controller 1021 and the carton sealing machine controller 101 are electrically connected, the labeling machine switching module 1072 is arranged on the labeling machine 102, and the labeling machine switching module 1072 and the labeling machine controller 1021 are electrically connected. In this case, it is convenient to complete the mode switching operation at the labeling machine 102, and the labeling machine 102 and the labeling detector 103 are directly turned off through the labeling machine switching module 1072, and the feedback is fed back to the carton sealing machine controller 101, and the alarm module 106 is turned off under the control of the carton sealing machine controller 101, and the production of the unlabeled cigarette box mode is carried out. The two switching modes can be set according to the specific actual situation of each component and production needs.

[0030] In this embodiment, the type of cigarette box labeling error detected by the labeling detector 103 is one of missing label, wrong labeling position and wrong product information contained in the label, or a combination of at least two of them.

[0031] When the rejection module 104 is rejecting cigarette boxes, the data processing module 1011 of the carton sealing machine controller 101 collects rejection information, which includes the number of rejected cigarette boxes and the type of labeling errors of each cigarette box, and generates an alarm record for the rejection information and stores it in the storage module 1012 for relevant personnel to view.
