[0025] Various exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the relative arrangement of components and steps, numerical expressions and numerical values set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present disclosure unless otherwise specifically stated.

[0028] Technologies, methods, and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the technologies, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.
[0029] In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limiting. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.
[0030] It should be noted that like reference numerals and letters refer to similar items in the following figures, and therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further discussed in subsequent figures.
[0031] Figure 1 Schematic diagrams showing some embodiments of the alarm of the present disclosure.
[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the alarm 10 includes a counter 11 , a comparator 12 and an alarm device 13 .
[0033] The counter 11 is configured to obtain the number of cigarettes produced and the rotation amount of the paper tray, wherein the rotation amount of the paper tray increases by one every time the paper tray rotates by a preset angle.
[0034] In some embodiments, the counter 11 is also configured to reset when triggered by the comparator 12, wherein the comparator 12 is also configured to trigger the counter 11 to reset when the number of cigarettes is equal to a preset value of cigarettes and the rotation amount of the paper tray is less than or equal to a preset value of the paper tray rotation.
[0035] That is to say, within a specified period (ie, when the number of cigarettes is less than or equal to the preset value of cigarettes), the rotation amount of the paper tray does not reach the preset value of the paper tray rotation. At this time, the comparator will trigger the counter to reset and then recount.
[0036] The counter can simultaneously count the number of cigarettes and the amount of paper tray rotation, so that the number of cigarettes and the amount of paper tray rotation are comprehensively considered when determining whether to alarm, thereby improving the accuracy of upstream and downstream coordination in the cigarette production process.
[0037] For example, the number of cigarettes produced can be represented by DCP (Double Clock Pulse) 6 pulses, that is, each time a cigarette is produced, a DCP6 pulse is generated, and the counter 11 receives the DCP6 pulse signal to count and obtain the number of cigarettes.
[0038] For example, the rotation amount of the paper tray can be represented by a SWCP (Switch Clock Pulse) pulse, that is, each time the paper tray rotates a preset angle, a SWCP pulse is generated, and the counter 11 receives the SWCP pulse signal and counts to obtain the rotation amount of the paper tray.
[0039] When the number of SWCP pulses increases, that is, the rotation amount of the paper disc increases, it means that the diameter of the paper disc is getting smaller and smaller. When the diameter of the paper disc is small to a certain extent, the paper disc needs to be turned over to ensure the normal operation of the filter tip of the cigarette.
[0040] The comparator 12 is electrically connected to the counter 11 and is configured to compare the number of cigarettes with a preset value of cigarettes, and to compare the rotation amount of the paper tray with a preset value of the paper tray rotation.
[0041] In some embodiments, the comparator 12 is further configured to trigger the alarm device 13 to sound an alarm when the number of cigarettes is less than or equal to a preset value of cigarettes and the rotation amount of the paper tray is greater than a preset value of the paper tray rotation.
[0042] The comparator monitors the production of cigarettes and the use of paper trays (corked paper trays) in real time, and can promptly sound an alarm before the paper trays are turned over, thus ensuring the safety of relevant staff and improving the safety of the cigarette production process.
[0043] For example, the preset value of cigarettes may be 100. Those skilled in the art should understand that the preset value of cigarettes here is only used as an example, and different preset values may be set according to actual conditions, for example, 80, 50, 150, etc.
[0044] Figure 2 Schematic diagram showing some embodiments of DCP6 pulses and SWCP pulses of the present disclosure.
[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, taking the preset value of cigarettes as 100 as an example, that is, taking 100 DCP6 pulses as one cycle (that is, generating 100 cigarettes as one cycle), the comparator 12 compares whether the paper tray rotation amount (the number of SWCP pulses) is greater than the preset value of paper tray rotation within one cycle. If the paper tray rotation amount is greater than the preset value of paper tray rotation, the comparator 12 needs to trigger the alarm device 13 to alarm. Otherwise, if the paper tray rotation amount is less than or equal to the preset value of paper tray rotation, the comparator 12 does not need to trigger the alarm device 13 to alarm.
[0046] In some embodiments, the preset value for paper tray rotation is directly related to the time interval from when the alarm device 13 issues an alarm to when the paper tray holder is flipped over. That is to say, if a longer time interval is required from when the alarm device 13 issues an alarm to when the paper tray holder is flipped over, the preset value for paper tray rotation needs to be appropriately reduced. Conversely, if a shorter time interval is required from when the alarm device 13 issues an alarm to when the paper tray holder is flipped over, the preset value for paper tray rotation needs to be appropriately increased.
[0047] In addition, the paper tray diameter corresponding to when the alarm device 13 sounds an alarm (positively correlated with the preset value of the paper tray rotation) must be larger than the paper tray diameter corresponding to when the paper tray is flipped, thereby ensuring that the alarm device 13 sounds an alarm earlier than the paper tray is flipped, so as to remind relevant staff to stay away and ensure the safety of the production process.
[0048] By adjusting the preset value of the paper tray rotation, the time interval from the alarm of the alarm device 13 to the flipping of the paper tray support can be flexibly adjusted.
[0049] The alarm device 13 is electrically connected to the comparator and is configured to generate an alarm when triggered by the comparator.
[0050] In some embodiments, the alarm device 13 includes at least one of a warning light or a buzzer.
[0051] By using alarm equipment to sound the alarm, relevant personnel in the cigarette production process can be effectively reminded to pay attention to safety issues.
[0052] In some embodiments, the alarm 10 further includes: an input device, which is electrically connected to the comparator 12 and configured to receive a paper tray rotation preset value input by a user and send the paper tray rotation preset value to the comparator 12 .
[0053] For example, the input may be a dip switch.
[0054] In some embodiments, the input device may be a four-position dial switch, and the user may input the preset value of the paper tray rotation through the dial switch. The dial switch is electrically connected to the comparator 12 to send the preset value of the paper tray rotation to the comparator 12 .
[0055] By receiving the preset value of paper tray rotation input by the user through the input device, the preset value of paper tray rotation can be flexibly adjusted, thereby flexibly adjusting the time interval from the alarm of the alarm device 13 to the flipping of the paper tray support.
[0056] In some embodiments, the alarm device 10 further includes: a display device electrically connected to the input device and configured to display a preset value of paper tray rotation.
[0057] For example, the display may be a digital tube.
[0058] In some embodiments, the display may be a two-digit seven-segment digital tube to display the paper tray rotation preset value sent by the input device.
[0059] The preset value of paper tray rotation is displayed on the display, so that the user can adjust the preset value of paper tray rotation later.
[0060] In the above embodiment, the number of cigarettes produced and the amount of paper tray rotation are obtained by a counter, the number of cigarettes is compared with a preset value of cigarettes by a comparator, and the amount of paper tray rotation is compared with the preset value of paper tray rotation by a comparator to obtain the current situation of cigarette production and the situation of paper tray rotation. Finally, according to the current situation of cigarette production and the situation of paper tray rotation, the alarm device is triggered to alarm to remind relevant staff working near the paper tray holder to keep a certain distance from the paper tray holder, thereby improving the safety of the cigarette production process.
[0061] Figure 3 Schematic diagrams showing some embodiments of the disclosed tipping tray overturn alarm system.
[0062] like Figure 3 As shown, the tipping paper tray overturning alarm system 30 includes a tipping paper tray group 31, a turner 32 and an alarm 10 as in any of the above embodiments.
[0063] The tipping paper tray group 31 includes an upper tipping paper tray and a lower tipping paper tray, wherein the upper tipping paper tray is above the lower tipping paper tray.
[0064] The turner 32 is configured to turn over the corking paper tray set 31 .
[0065] Figure 4 Schematic diagrams showing some embodiments of the tipping paper tray set and inverter of the present disclosure.
[0066] like Figure 4 As shown, the tipping paper tray set 31 includes an upper tipping paper tray 41 and a lower tipping paper tray 42. The upper tipping paper tray 41 includes a rotating shaft 43, and the lower tipping paper tray 42 includes a rotating shaft 44.
[0067] For example, the tray rotation amount may be the rotation amount of the upper tipping tray 41 .
[0068] In some embodiments, the lower coring paper tray 42 is an empty paper tray core, which is mainly used to install a new paper tray when the lower coring paper tray 42 is turned over by the turner 32 to the position of the upper coring main paper tray 41.
[0069] In some embodiments, the rotation axis 43 of the upper tipping paper tray 41 is located at the center of the upper tipping paper tray 41 , and the rotation axis 44 of the lower tipping paper tray 42 is located at the center of the lower tipping paper tray 42 .
[0070] That is, the upper tipping paper tray 41 can be driven to rotate by the rotation of the rotation shaft 43 , and the lower tipping paper tray 42 can be driven to rotate by the rotation of the rotation shaft 44 .
[0071] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, the upper tipping paper tray 41 further includes an axial through hole 45, and the axial through hole 45 is located around the rotation axis 43 of the upper tipping paper tray 41. The axial through hole can be, for example, one or more, for example, 6.
[0072] If there are 6 axial through holes, it means that when 6 SWCP pulses are received, the upper corking paper disk rotates one circle.
[0073] The axial through hole 45 enables the light beam to penetrate between the axial sides of the upper tipping paper tray 41 .
[0074] In some embodiments, the cork paper tray overturn alarm system 30 also includes a light beam detector (not shown in the drawings), wherein the light beam detector is electrically connected to the counter and is configured to receive a light beam passing through the axial through hole, triggering the counter to increase the paper tray rotation amount by one.
[0075] The light beam passing through the axial through hole is received by the light beam detector so that the counter can count the rotation amount of the upper corking paper disk.
[0076] The rotation amount of the paper tray is counted through the axial through hole and the light beam detector, realizing a simple and accurate counting method.
[0077] In some embodiments, the cork paper tray flip alarm system 30 also includes a beam reflecting plate (not shown in the drawings) and a beam detector (not shown in the drawings), wherein the beam detector is electrically connected to the counter and is configured to receive a light beam reflected by the beam reflecting plate, triggering the counter to increase the paper tray rotation amount by one.
[0078] In some embodiments, the beam reflecting plate is located at a position axially rearward of the upper cork paper tray corresponding to the axial through hole, wherein the number of the beam reflecting plates is consistent with the number of the axial through holes.
[0079] That is to say, the beam detector acts as a light source to generate a light beam, emits the light beam to the beam reflecting plate, and the beam detector then receives the light beam reflected by the beam reflecting plate.
[0080] The light beam reflected by the light beam reflecting plate is received by the light beam detector so that the counter can count the rotation amount of the upper corking paper plate.
[0081] In some embodiments, the light beam detection and light beam reflection plates are relatively arranged on both sides of the upper tipping paper tray 41 in the axial direction.
[0082] The rotation amount of the upper cork paper tray is counted by using a light beam detector and a light beam reflecting plate, thereby realizing a more accurate counting method and obtaining a more accurate rotation amount of the paper tray.
[0083] like Figure 4 As shown, the turning device 32 includes a rotating shaft 46, and the turning of the upper tipping paper tray 41 and the lower tipping paper tray 42 is achieved through the rotation of the rotating shaft 46.
[0084] For example, the flipper 32 may be an original A40-A4 module Q0, which provides a paper tray flipping enable signal.
[0085] In the above embodiment, the number of cigarettes produced and the amount of paper tray rotation are obtained by a counter, the number of cigarettes is compared with a preset value of cigarettes by a comparator, and the amount of paper tray rotation is compared with the preset value of paper tray rotation by a comparator to obtain the current situation of cigarette production and the situation of paper tray rotation. Finally, according to the current situation of cigarette production and the situation of paper tray rotation, the alarm device is triggered to alarm to remind relevant staff working near the paper tray holder to keep a certain distance from the paper tray holder, thereby improving the safety of the cigarette production process.
[0086] Figure 5 Schematic diagrams showing some embodiments of the operation process of the corking paper tray overturn alarm system disclosed in the present invention.
[0087] In step 510, power on initialization.
[0088] In step 520, the preset value of paper tray rotation is modified by a dial switch, and the preset value of paper tray rotation is displayed by a digital tube.
[0089] In step 530, it is determined whether the number of SWCP pulses in the cycle reaches a preset value, wherein the preset value refers to a preset value of paper tray rotation.
[0090] In some embodiments, the number of SWCP pulses refers to the amount of rotation of the upper cork paper tray. The cycle is measured by the number of cigarettes produced, for example, by defining the production of a specified number (eg, 100 cigarettes) as one cycle.
[0091] If the number of SWCP pulses in the cycle reaches the preset value, step 550 is directly executed; if the number of SWCP pulses in the cycle does not reach the preset value, step 540 is executed.
[0092] In step 540, the counter is reset and counted again, and then step 530 is executed again.
[0093] In step 550, the comparator triggers the alarm device to sound an alarm.
[0094] In step 560, the flipper determines whether to perform flipping.
[0095] When the flipper determines that flipping is required, a paper tray flipping enable signal is sent.
[0096] If the flipper is flipped, step 570 is executed; if the flipper is not flipped, step 550 is repeated.
[0097] In step 570, the program is reset and then steps 520 to 560 are executed again.
[0098] In the above embodiment, the number of cigarettes produced and the amount of paper tray rotation are obtained by a counter, the number of cigarettes is compared with a preset value of cigarettes by a comparator, and the amount of paper tray rotation is compared with the preset value of paper tray rotation by a comparator to obtain the current situation of cigarette production and the situation of paper tray rotation. Finally, according to the current situation of cigarette production and the situation of paper tray rotation, the alarm device is triggered to alarm to remind relevant staff working near the paper tray holder to keep a certain distance from the paper tray holder, thereby improving the safety of the cigarette production process.
