[0060] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0061] Example 1

[0062] This embodiment provides a material diversion and separation device, such as Figures 1 to 5As shown, it includes: a feeding structure 1, a direction adjustment structure 2 and a receiving structure. The feeding structure 1 includes: a feeding shell 11 and a first feeding bin 111 and a second feeding bin 112 which are arranged in the feeding shell 11. The first feeding bin 111 and the second feeding bin 112 are both arranged vertically. The second feeding bin 112 is arranged at the lower end of the first feeding bin 111. The first feeding bin 111 and the second feeding bin 112 are connected and arranged. The upper end of the first feeding bin 111 is the feeding port, and the lower end of the second feeding bin 112 is the discharging port. The inner diameter of the first feeding bin 111 gradually decreases from top to bottom, and the first feeding bin 111 is funnel-shaped, which can facilitate the staff to put in materials. The material in this application is cigarette sticks, and can also be other strip-shaped materials.

[0063] Specifically, Figures 1 to 5 As shown, for batch processing of unprocessed cigarettes, at least one second feed bin 112 is provided. In the present embodiment, the number of second feed bins 112 is set to n and they are numbered, and a baffle is used to space each two adjacent second feed bins 112. To ensure that the end faces of the cigarettes are flush, the unprocessed cigarettes are first arranged neatly in the first feed bin 111, and the stacked unprocessed cigarettes enter the second feed bin 112. In any second feed bin 112, the unprocessed materials are arranged in a single row. In second feed bins 112 with different horizontal directions, n unprocessed cigarette rods are arranged one by one in the n second feed bins 112 according to their numbers.

[0064] The direction adjustment structure 2 includes a detection bin assembly 21, which includes: a detection shell 211 and a first connecting guide rail 213. A detection bin 212 is provided in the detection shell 211, and at least one detection bin 212 is also provided, which is consistent with the number of the above-mentioned second feed bins 112, that is, n, and the second feed bins 112 and the detection bins 212 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence; the discharge ports of the n second feed bins 112 are connected to the detection bins 212 through the first connecting guide rail 213, and the two ends of the first connecting guide rail 213 are respectively connected to the discharge port and the feed end, and the first connecting guide rail 213 is arranged in a U-shape. The number of the first connecting guide rails 213 is consistent with the number of the second feed bins 112 and is arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, which can ensure that the material in the corresponding discharge port can flow through the corresponding first connecting guide rail 213 to the corresponding detection bin 212, thereby preventing the material from being offset during the movement of the material.

[0065] A power structure 4 is provided on the side of the feeding structure 1 opposite to the first connecting guide rail 213, and the power structure 4 includes: a gas guide 41 and an air jet tube 43. The gas guide 41 is embedded in the feeding structure 1, and n air nozzles 42 are provided on the gas guide 41. The n air nozzles 42 are arranged corresponding to the n second feeding bins 112, and the air nozzles 42 can introduce gas into the corresponding second feeding bins 112; an air jet tube 43 is connected to the end of the air nozzle 42 away from the feeding structure 1, and the air jet tube 43 is used to introduce air into the air nozzle 42. The air nozzle 42 provides an air jet from the positive pressure air jet tube 43 to the smoke trough, and the material at the bottom of the n second feeding bins 112 can be passed through the first connecting guide rail 213 to the corresponding detection bin 212. After the material touches the side of the detection shell 211 away from the first connecting guide rail 213, it is blocked and stopped, and the next stage of steps is subsequently performed. In order to send n number of cigarettes to the next detection and direction adjustment process, the power structure 4 also needs to be equipped with a solenoid valve 44 to control the start and stop, and the start and stop time needs to be determined by the cycle time of the sum of the time for the direction adjustment structure 2 to identify the material and the time to complete the material adjustment action. The power structure 4 and the solenoid valve 44 are used to further realize automation.

[0066] Furthermore, if Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the detection housing 211 is also provided with an identification component 22 and a separation component 23, the identification component 22 is arranged above the separation component 23, the identification end of the identification component 22 faces the detection bin 212, the separation component 23 is arranged at the discharge end of the detection bin component 21, and the direction adjustment structure 2 also includes a first partition 214 and a second partition 216, the first partition 214 is movably arranged on the detection housing 211 corresponding to the identification component 22, and the second partition 216 is movably arranged on the detection housing 211 corresponding to the separation component 23. 6 is arranged below the first partition 214, the first partition 214 and the second partition 216 are both arranged orthogonally to the detection shell 211, the first partition 214 and the second partition 216 are both electric partitions, a controller is arranged on the first partition 214 and the second partition 216 to ensure the completion of the movement of the first partition 214 and the second partition 216, and the controller can be a retractable part such as a cylinder; the output end of the cylinder drives the first partition 214 and the second partition 216 to move; the first partition 214 and the second partition 216 can move in the horizontal direction.

[0067] A group of n materials are pushed from the feeding structure 1 into the detection chamber 212 by the air jet tube 43. Before the pushing is carried out, the first partition 214 first moves horizontally into the detection chamber 212, and isolates a detection chamber 215 from the detection chamber 212 located above the first partition 214. Under the action of gravity, n materials stay in the detection chamber 215, that is, n materials are arranged and stay on the top surface of the first partition 214, and the identification component 22 identifies the materials in the detection chamber 215; specifically, when the material orientation has only two different orientations, namely the forward tobacco end of the material and the reverse filter end of the material, the focus of the monitoring and measurement of the material is on the identification of the tobacco end and the filter end of the material, since the dark and uneven tobacco end face and the white and flat filter end face can be visually distinguished, that is, the filter end facing the identification component 22 is the forward material, and the opposite is the reverse material.

[0068] When the identification is completed, the second partition 216 moves horizontally into the detection bin 212 to isolate the detection chamber 215 to form a separation chamber 217, and the first partition 214 moves horizontally out of the detection bin 212 to open the detection bin 212. The n materials fall downward into the separation chamber 217 under the action of gravity, that is, move to the top surface of the second partition 216; the separation component 23 pushes the identified reverse material into the receiving structure via the second connecting guide rail 35. At this time, the second partition 216 moves horizontally out of the detection bin 212, so that the forward material is also moved out, thereby realizing the positive and reverse separation of the material. Compared with the traditional detection and adjustment method of identifying the direction of cigarettes through artificial vision and adjusting them manually, the utility model realizes mechanical automation identification and production by setting a feeding structure 1, an adjustment structure 2 and a receiving structure, and can complete the adjustment of a large number of staggered materials in a short time to replace manual operation, thereby solving the problems of long operation time and high labor cost. In addition, the periodic reciprocating action of the two electric partitions can largely ensure the stability of material identification and execution of adjustment, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0069] Specifically, Figures 1 to 5As shown, the identification component 22 includes: a support 221, an identification member 222 and a dot matrix light source 223. The support 221 is a gantry, and the identification member 222 is an industrial camera that can meet the identification task. The identification member 222 is fixed on the central axis of the gantry, and the continuous shooting function of the industrial camera is used to capture the image of each group of material end faces that are stopped; a dot matrix light source 223 is arranged on both sides of the identification member 222, and the support 221 fixes the identification member 222 and the dot matrix light source 223 on the detection housing 211. In the visual recognition process, the brightness of the light can directly affect the quality of the input data and at least 30% of the application effect. Different light sources and lighting methods form very different lighting effects. A good light source can effectively capture information, reduce interference, and greatly improve the accuracy of detection. Therefore, a dot matrix light source 223 is used and is symmetrically arranged at the left and right ends of the industrial camera to avoid shadows caused by light during image acquisition. The side of the detection housing 211 away from the feeding structure 1 is set as a transparent plate, and the transparency must meet the target detection requirements, which is conducive to the work of the identification member 222.

[0070] The separation assembly 23 includes: a push rod controller 231 and a push rod 232. The push rod controller 231 is arranged on the side of the detection housing 211 away from the feeding structure 1. The number of push rods 232 is consistent with that of the detection bin 212. In this embodiment, n push rods 232 are arranged on the push rod controller 231. The push rods 232 can move in the direction close to the detection bin 212 to pass through the detection housing 211 and push the reverse material in the detection bin 212. Through program control, the push rods 232 are pushed one by one to improve the accuracy of separation. The side of the detection housing 211 away from the feeding structure 1 is arranged in a mesh shape. Since some scattered shredded tobacco and cigarette dust are brought in with the cigarette in the feeding structure 1, it will cause recognition errors caused by the positive and negative identification of the cigarette to a certain extent. In order to avoid such defects, the flow field generated by the air jet and the fluid-solid coupling of the mesh plate are used in the cigarette adjustment structure 2 of the utility model to blow out the shredded tobacco and cigarette dust, thereby improving the accuracy of identification. Specifically, the mesh gap size of the mesh side surface is smaller than the diameter of the cigarette, so as to prevent the cigarette from entering the cigarette redirecting structure 2.

[0071] In this embodiment, if Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the receiving structure includes: a receiving shell 31 and a third partition 33. The receiving shell 31 is correspondingly arranged on the side of the detection shell 211 away from the separation device. A receiving bin 32 is opened in the receiving shell 31. The receiving bin 32 can be set as a whole, or can be set to n corresponding to the detection bin 212. The receiving bin 32 is provided with openings on the side facing the detection shell 211 and the bottom of the receiving bin 32. The third partition 33 is movably penetrated on the detection shell 211. A controller is set on the third partition 33 to ensure the completion of its movement process. The controller can be a retractable part such as a cylinder; the output end of the cylinder drives the third partition 33 to move.

[0072] After the forward material and the reverse material are separated, the forward material is at the bottom of the detection chamber 215. At this time, the third partition 33 is inserted into the receiving bin 32 to isolate the upper area of ​​the receiving bin 32 to form a storage chamber 34. The reverse material is in the storage chamber 34 of the receiving structure. When the sensor detects that there is smoke in the storage chamber 34, the third partition 33 is pulled out, moved to the outside of the receiving bin 32 and the storage chamber 34 is opened. At this time, the second partition 216 also completes the pulling action, and both the forward and reverse cigarettes fall into the material collection structure 5.

[0073] Specifically, Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the material collecting structure 5 is arranged at the bottom of the direction adjustment structure 2 and the receiving structure, and the material collecting structure 5 includes: a material diverting component 51 and a recovery channel 52, wherein the material diverting component 51 includes two material transport tracks 511, and the material transport track 511 is arranged in a horseshoe shape. The two material transport tracks 511 are relatively arranged to form a ring-shaped material diverting component 51 and form a first relative position 512 and a second relative position 513. The transmission directions of the two material transport tracks 511 are opposite, and one of the two material transport tracks 511 rotates clockwise and the other rotates counterclockwise. Specifically, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, the two material transport tracks include a first transport track on the left side of the tail wing and a second transport track on the right side, the first transport track rotates clockwise and the second transport track rotates counterclockwise; at the first relative position 512, the two material transport tracks 511 are tightly arranged, and the transport direction of the two material transport tracks 511 is away from the first relative position 512; at the second relative position 513, the two material transport tracks 511 are spaced apart to form a cigarette collection port, and the transport direction of the two material transport tracks 511 is toward the second relative position 513; and the feed end of the recovery channel 52 is arranged at the second relative position 513.

[0074] The second relative position 513 is set at the bottom end of the detection bin assembly 21. When the above-mentioned second partition 216 completes the extraction action, the forward material will directly fall onto the material transportation track 511 of the second relative position 513, and the material transportation track 511 of the second relative position 513 will directly transport the forward material to the recovery channel 52; the first relative position 512 is set at the bottom end of the receiving structure. When the above-mentioned third partition 33 completes the extraction action, the reverse material that has been separated in the receiving structure falls onto the material transportation track 511 of the first relative position 512, and reaches the second relative position 513 after moving along the material transportation track 511. The direction of the reverse material changes, and enters the recovery channel 52 together with the forward material; through the installation position of the above-mentioned structure, the separated forward material and reverse material can be collected at the same time. After the reverse material is turned, the direction of entering the recovery channel 52 is consistent with the forward material, which can achieve the effect of accelerating material transportation, and there is no need for manual turning by the staff, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0075] Specifically, Figures 1 to 5 As shown, leveling auxiliary rollers 53 are also provided on the outer and inner sides of the material transport track 511. On the counterclockwise material transport track 511, the leveling auxiliary roller 53 rotates in a clockwise direction, and on the clockwise material transport track 511, the leveling auxiliary roller 53 rotates in a counterclockwise direction. At this time, the leveling auxiliary roller 53 can not only complete the material leveling work, but also achieve the effect of accelerating material transportation.

[0076] In other practicable embodiments, the material diversion and separation device further comprises an intelligent interactive panel 6, which is fixed on the detection housing 211, and the entire material diversion and separation device is controlled by the intelligent interactive panel 6. Specifically, the recognition component 22 captures the image of each group of material end faces and uploads it to the intelligent interactive panel 6, and distinguishes between Class A and Class B by visual detection. After receiving the material image, the intelligent interactive panel 6 can automatically mark and analyze the collected image, and identify and record the front and back conditions of the material in the numbered trough. The first partition 214 is connected to the first partition 214. According to the image acquisition and recognition time, it is pulled out from the detection bin 212. At this time, the second partition 216 is inserted into the detection bin 212, and a group of materials falls onto the second partition 216. At this time, the intelligent interactive panel 6 sends an electrical signal to the power structure 4, instructing the push rod 232 of the numbered detection bin 212 corresponding to the reverse material to work. The push rod 232 pushes the reverse material into the receiving structure via the second connecting guide rail 35 to realize the positive and reverse separation of the material. After that, the second partition 216 and the third partition 33 are pulled out, and the forward material and the reverse material are transported to the material collection structure 5.

[0077] In the image processing part, the main steps are (P1) using the identification part 222 to obtain high-quality, high-resolution images from a group of arranged materials, and adjusting the brightness of the dot matrix light source 223 to facilitate the training system's recognition effect under different lighting conditions. (P2) Calibrate the identification part 222, obtain the distortion parameters of the image and the actual size corresponding to the pixel, perform image enhancement on the acquired image, and cut it into small-size images of the same size and other pre-processing operations. (P3) Annotate the acquired image, convert the data into annotated data format, and annotate the target object in the image. (P4) After introducing the annotated image into the deep learning algorithm for learning, in order to facilitate the accuracy of the system in identifying the front and back of the material, continue to collect images for training and partially adjust the parameters and hyperparameters in the algorithm through the training output results. (P5) Connect the trained model to the intelligent interactive panel 6, and identify the part 222, test the recognition effect of the identification part 222 in the running state, and convert the captured video into a video frame for recognition. (P6) The recognition result is output to the intelligent interactive panel 6, and the front and back recognition results of the material are displayed.

[0078] After completing the image capture enhancement and calibration recognition, that is, completing steps P1-P3, the image is trained for deep learning algorithm recognition. In the deep learning algorithm part, the main steps are: (A1) Pre-select the optimal algorithm model, such as YOLOv5 and other models, and use the preprocessed data set to train the model. (A2) Add a set of independent data to test the first training model to verify the accuracy and stability of the trained model.

[0079] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of clear explanation, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of the invention of the utility model.
