Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of tobacco packaging, in particular to a cigarette packing identification device. Background Art

[0002] At present, during the packaging process of cigarette cartons, it is often necessary to identify the cigarette cartons, and the cigarette cartons are usually provided with barcodes or other identification codes for identification. For example, a tobacco automatic identification packaging machine disclosed in Chinese patent application number: CN201220468379.5 includes a frame, an electrical control system, and a conveying device and a flipping device arranged on the frame according to the assembly line. An identification device for identifying the type of objects and the number of each type is also arranged between the conveying device and the flipping device. The identification device includes a transition device arranged on the frame between the conveying device and the flipping device, and two or four high-speed cameras arranged on the frame. The high-speed cameras are respectively arranged on the left and right sides above the transition device for identifying objects, and the high-speed cameras are respectively connected to the electrical control system.

[0003] However, since cigarette cartons are often packed at a very fast speed, it is often difficult to identify them, and how to stably identify them has become a key technology. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention proposes a cigarette carton packaging identification device, which solves the technical problem that cigarette carton identification is difficult in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme: a cigarette carton packaging identification device, including a frame and an input conveyor belt for conveying cigarette carton, a sorting and identification platform, and an output platform arranged on the frame according to an assembly line. The frame is also provided with a transfer mechanism for transferring the cigarette carton on the sorting and identification platform to the output platform. An identification unit for identifying cigarette carton is arranged on the frame above the sorting and identification platform. The identification unit is one or more central cameras arranged at the center just above the sorting and identification platform, and / or the identification unit is a side camera respectively arranged above both sides of the sorting and identification platform.

[0006] Furthermore, the width of the cigarette strip is defined as K, and the recognition center line of the central camera is located on the sorting and recognition platform and within the K width range close to the input conveyor belt side.

[0007] Furthermore, the recognition center line of the side camera points to the center of the sorting and recognition platform.

[0008] Furthermore, a material blocking mechanism is provided on the frame on a side of the sorting and identification platform away from the input conveyor belt. The material blocking mechanism includes a material blocking cylinder and a material blocking plate provided on the piston rod of the material blocking cylinder. The material blocking plate approaches or moves away from the input conveyor belt under the action of the material blocking cylinder.

[0009] Furthermore, there are two output platforms, which are respectively located on both sides of the sorting and identification platform, and the transfer mechanism includes a shifting rod arranged on the frame and a material shifting driving mechanism for driving the shifting rod to move toward the two output platforms.

[0010] Furthermore, an output conveyor belt is arranged on the frame below the sorting and identification platform, and a lifting drive mechanism is arranged on the frame to drive the output platform to rise and fall, so that the output platform can move back and forth between the sorting and identification platform and the horizontal position of the output conveyor belt, and a pushing plate mechanism is arranged on the output platform to push the cigarette strips from the output platform to the output conveyor belt.

[0011] Furthermore, the push plate mechanism includes a push plate cylinder and a push plate arranged on the piston rod of the push plate cylinder.

[0012] Furthermore, the input conveyor belt is provided with a limiting mechanism for limiting the entry of cigarette cartons into the sorting and identification platform, and the limiting mechanism includes a limiting cylinder arranged on the frame and a limiting plate arranged on the piston rod of the limiting cylinder.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0014] 1. This solution sets up a sorting and identification platform, which can not only realize the sorting of cigarette cartons on the platform, but also can quickly realize identification under the conditions of slowing down and separation during sorting, thereby effectively improving the overall work efficiency of cigarette cartons packaging. Moreover, according to needs, a central camera can be set above the center of the sorting and identification platform, and / or side cameras can be set above both sides of the identification platform, so that different needs can be identified directly above or on the sides of the cigarette cartons. The best is to set both the side camera and the central camera, so that the best fault tolerance conditions can be achieved.

[0015] 2. In order to improve the accuracy of recognition, the width of the cigarette strip is defined as K, and the recognition center line of the central camera is located on the sorting and recognition platform and within the K width range close to the input conveyor belt side, so that the cigarette strip can be recognized as soon as it enters the sorting and recognition platform, and this angle is more conducive to the clarity and accuracy of recognition. Correspondingly, the recognition center line of the side camera points to the center of the sorting and recognition platform, which can also make the side camera tilt, so that the tilt angle is more conducive to the clarity and accuracy of recognition.

[0016] 3. By setting the material blocking mechanism, the cigarette strips can be blocked at the required position, so that the cigarette strips can stay at the required position, so that they can be in a better position and posture when transferred to the output platform. In addition, the output platform can also be a conveyor belt, so that when multiple cigarette strips are combined on the output platform, the action of the material blocking mechanism can realize the gradual blocking of multiple cigarette strips, thereby forming a centered cigarette strip combination. The transfer mechanism's lever is preferably located above the material blocking plate, so that interference can be effectively avoided.

[0017] 4. The output conveyor belt, lifting drive mechanism, and push plate mechanism are set up to realize that the cigarette cartons enter the conveying platform from the sorting and identification platform and then are concentrated on the output conveyor belt, so as to realize combined output. In this way, stacking and combination of cigarette cartons can be realized. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
