Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of warehouse management, in particular to a box-type leaf storage logistics system with flexible processing. Background Art

[0002] With the development requirements of refined processing of Chinese cigarette characteristics, automated box-type leaf storage logistics systems have been widely used in tobacco industry enterprises.

[0003] In the box-type tobacco storage logistics system, wooden boxes are often used as the main containers for box storage, which are mainly divided into the packing area, storage area and box turning area. The main process is as follows: first pack at the packing station, that is, put tobacco leaves into the empty box; then the box filled with tobacco leaves is transported to the warehouse for storage and aging through the conveying equipment; when the tobacco leaves need to be used, the stored and aging tobacco leaves are transported to the box turning feeding station again through the conveying equipment, and the box turning robot grabs the tobacco box, turns the box and unloads the materials to the feeding bin for subsequent tobacco processing; the empty box after unloading is transported by the conveying equipment to the empty box buffer area or storage warehouse; the entire flow process of the tobacco box forms an automated closed-loop system.

[0004] In the current cigarette manufacturing process, batches are used as a processing unit; a batch is divided into two processing modes: full recipe and group recipe. When using a box-type leaf storage logistics system in the group recipe processing mode, each module is packed into a box and put into storage separately; when leaving the warehouse, multiple modules with different numbers of cigarette boxes in each module form a complete batch for box turnover and unloading.

[0005] Therefore, the traditional box-type leaf storage system has the following shortcomings: 1) When the quantitative packing mode is adopted for warehousing, it is often impossible to evenly distribute various categories. The excess unallocated cigarette boxes are called tail boxes. The probability of producing tail boxes will increase, resulting in increased inventory and reduced utilization rate of cigarette boxes, affecting the uniformity of material blending and the stability of material flow; 2) The outbound mode is single and cannot meet the needs of multiple outbound modes at the same time; 3) If the outbound sorting method is fixed, it cannot meet the sorting requirements of different quantities of multiple modules; if disordered outbound is adopted, the same modules in the same batch will be repeatedly stacked to a certain extent, increasing the possibility of uneven use of raw materials, which is not conducive to the addition of moisture and liquid in the subsequent feeding process; 4) When the cigarette boxes are "wrongly branded and serially numbered" when entering and leaving the warehouse, there is no complete automated processing mechanism.

[0006] Nowadays, the box storage logistics automation system is the key development direction of the technological transformation of cigarette manufacturing enterprises. It organically combines logistics with the production and operation management of the enterprise, realizes the flexibility and automation of the production, transportation, storage and other links of the enterprise, and meets the needs of reform.

The empty box outbound buffer area 13 is connected to the empty box outbound buffer area 13, the full box outbound buffer area 13 is connected to the box turning and unloading cleaning robot through the reciprocating vertical lift 8, the box turning and unloading cleaning robot is connected to the warehouse feeding elevator 10, the double-station straight shuttle vehicle 4 is connected to the stacker 2, the packing station 5, the empty box buffer area 7, the reciprocating vertical lift 8, and the manual processing area 6 through the cigarette box turnover conveyor line 3, and the single-station straight shuttle vehicle 11 is connected to the stacker 2 and the full box outbound buffer area 13 through the cigarette box turnover conveyor line 3. The system is equipped with two packing stations 5, which can pack tobacco leaves and slices simultaneously and separately. The packing station 5 is connected with the upstream feeding section through a belt conveyor, and tobacco leaves enter the packing station 5 through the belt conveyor; the packing station 5 is connected with the empty box buffer area 7 and the stacker 2 through the cigarette box turnover conveyor line 3, and the empty cigarette boxes in the empty box buffer area 7 are transported to the packing station 5 for tobacco box packing, and then transported to the stacker 2 for storage.

[0025] The system is equipped with four stackers 2. The loading and receiving of stackers 2 are configured in two layers, which are located on the ground and on the steel platform respectively. Each stacker 2 is provided with a receiving port and an unloading port on the first layer, which are used for the warehousing and storage of empty boxes and full boxes. Each stacker 2 is provided with two unloading ports on the second-layer steel platform, which are used for the warehousing of full boxes. The setting of the two unloading ports can simultaneously support two disordered warehousing modes, namely full formula warehousing and group formula warehousing, as well as the flower arrangement sorting warehousing mode.

[0026] The stacker 2 is connected to the solid box outbound buffer area 13 through the cigarette box turnover conveyor line 3, and the single-station straight shuttle vehicle 11 is connected to the stacker 2 and the solid box outbound buffer area 13 through the cigarette box turnover conveyor line 3. The solid box outbound buffer area 13 is divided into three outbound channels. Any outbound channel is connected to the box turning and material emptying cleaning robot through the reciprocating vertical lift 8, and the box turning and material emptying cleaning robot is connected to the warehouse-type feeding elevator 10, and the warehouse-type feeding elevator 10 is connected to the downstream section through a belt conveyor.

[0027] The outbound box turning area is configured in the order of stacker 2, single-station straight shuttle 11, and solid box outbound buffer area 13; a circular sorting area 12 is configured at the entrance of the solid box outbound buffer area 13, and the circular sorting area 12 is divided into three outbound channels. An RFID reader is configured on each channel to identify whether the information of the incoming cigarette box is consistent with the database information.
