[0036] The cigarettes produced by the cigarette making machine are arranged and packaged into cigarette packs by the packaging machine, and then packaged into cigarette cartons. During the cigarette packaging process, the cigarette packs are wrinkled and damaged. The cigarette packaging system in the relevant technology cannot inspect and remove the unqualified cigarette packs, and the defective cigarette packs flow into the market, damaging the interests of consumers.
[0037] In view of this, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a cigarette pack abnormality detection device and a cigarette packaging system, which can remove abnormal cigarette packs. Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of some embodiments of the cigarette pack abnormality detection device disclosed in the present invention, with reference to Figure 1 The cigarette pack abnormality detection device includes: a conveying mechanism 1, a rejecting mechanism 3 and a checking mechanism 4.
[0038] Figure 1 The direction A is the first direction, the direction B is the second direction, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. The conveying mechanism 1 is configured to convey the cigarette packs 2 along the first direction, and the cigarette packs 2 include but are not limited to being arranged at equal intervals on the conveying mechanism 1 along the first direction.
[0039] The rejecting mechanism 3 is arranged at one side of the conveying mechanism 1 along the second direction, and is configured to reject abnormal cigarette packets 2 from the cigarette packets 2 conveyed by the conveying mechanism 1. The verifying mechanism 4 is arranged at one side of the conveying mechanism 1 along the second direction, and is located at the same side or the opposite side of the conveying mechanism 1 as the rejecting mechanism 3, and is located downstream of the rejecting mechanism 3 along the first direction, and is configured to verify the rejecting result of the abnormal cigarette packets 2 by the rejecting mechanism 3, so as to check whether the cigarette packets 2 to be rejected are successfully rejected.
[0040] In this embodiment, by setting up the rejection mechanism 3 and the verification mechanism 4, not only can the abnormal cigarette packs in the cigarette packaging process be rejected, but it is also possible to further verify whether the abnormal cigarette packs are rejected, thereby reducing the risk of the cigarette packs 2 not being rejected due to the failure of the rejection mechanism 3, and improving the reliability of rejecting defective cigarette packs from the product line, which is beneficial to ensuring the quality of the product.
[0041] refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments, the rejection mechanism 3 includes: a first in-place detection member 31 and a rejection execution member 32. The first in-place detection member 31 includes but is not limited to a photoelectric sensor, and is configured to determine the position of the abnormal cigarette package 2, so as to determine whether the cigarette package identified as abnormal has passed the in-place detection member.
[0042] The rejecting actuator 32 is located downstream of the first in-place detection member 31 along the first direction, and includes but is not limited to an end picker, etc. The working state of the rejecting actuator 32 can be switched through a valve group, and is configured to reject the abnormal cigarette package 2 in place. The operator can determine the position of the abnormal cigarette package 2 to be rejected according to the detection result of the first in-place detection member 31, so that when the abnormal cigarette package 2 reaches the rejecting actuator 32, the rejecting actuator 32 is operated to reject the abnormal cigarette package 2. The rejecting actuator 32 includes but is not limited to providing a compressed air jet to the abnormal cigarette package 2 to blow the abnormal cigarette package 2 out of the conveying mechanism 1.
[0043] In this embodiment, when the first in-place detection component 32 detects that an abnormal cigarette package 2 has passed, the rejection actuator 32 can perform a rejection operation on the abnormal cigarette package 2 after a preset period of time. The verification mechanism 4 can verify the rejection result of the rejection actuator 32 to reduce the risk of failure in rejecting the abnormal cigarette package 2 due to faults such as damage to the solenoid valve of the rejection actuator 32, insufficient air pressure, failure of the first in-place detection component 31, and / or line failure between the first in-place detection component 31 and the rejection actuator 32. If the verification mechanism 4 detects that the cigarette package 2 is still on the conveying mechanism 1, it can trigger an alarm signal to remind the operator to shut down the conveying mechanism 2 and check the condition of the cigarette package 2.
[0044] refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments, the cigarette pack abnormality detection device further includes an identification device 5, which is arranged on one side of the conveying mechanism 1 along the second direction and is located upstream of the rejection mechanism 3 along the first direction, and is configured to identify abnormal cigarette packs 2 in the cigarette packs 2 conveyed by the conveying mechanism 1. The rejection mechanism 3 includes but is not limited to a photoelectric sensor or a visual recognition element, and the operator can determine the abnormal cigarette packs 2 to be rejected based on the recognition result of the cigarette pack 2 abnormality by the identification device 5.
[0045] In this embodiment, an identification device 5 is provided upstream of the rejection mechanism 3 to identify the cigarette packs on the conveying mechanism 1 in sequence and determine the abnormal cigarette packs 2 so that the operator can locate the abnormal cigarette packs 2 and reject them.
[0046] refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments, the identification device 5 includes: a second in-place detection member 51 and an identification actuator 52. The second in-place detection member 51 is configured to determine the position of the cigarette package 2, and the identification actuator 52 is located downstream of the second in-place detection member 51 along the first direction and is configured to identify the in-place cigarette package 2. The operator determines the position of the cigarette package 2 according to the detection result of the second in-place detection member 51, so that when the cigarette package 2 arrives at the identification actuator 52, the operator operates the identification actuator 52 to detect the appearance of the cigarette package 2.
[0047] In this embodiment, the second in-position detection element 51 can send out a detection signal when the cigarette pack 2 passes by, so that the identification execution element 52 can detect the appearance of the cigarette pack 2 when the cigarette pack 2 passes by.
[0048] In some embodiments, the recognition execution component 52 includes an image acquisition component configured to acquire images of cigarette packs 2 so as to identify abnormal cigarette packs 2. In this embodiment, the recognition execution component 52 includes but is not limited to a camera, etc., which acquires images of cigarette packs 2 so as to identify cigarette packs 2 with appearance defects.
[0049] refer to Figure 1In some embodiments, the conveying mechanism 1 includes a conveyor belt extending along a first direction. In this embodiment, the conveying mechanism 1 includes but is not limited to a conveyor belt extending along a first direction, so that the rejection mechanism 3, the verification mechanism 4 and the identification mechanism 5 are arranged on the same side or both sides of the conveying mechanism 1.
[0050] refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments, the cigarette packs 2 are arranged at equal intervals along the first direction on the conveying mechanism 1. In this embodiment, the cigarette packs 2 are arranged at equal intervals along the first direction on the conveying mechanism 1, and the conveying mechanism 1 can transport the cigarette packs 2 at a uniform speed. Then, the rejection mechanism 3, the verification mechanism 4 and the identification mechanism 5 can determine the time interval between the arrival of adjacent cigarette packs 2 according to the distance between the cigarette packs 2, so as to determine the position of the cigarette packs 2.
[0051] In some embodiments, the verification mechanism 4 includes a photoelectric sensor. In this embodiment, the verification mechanism 4 includes but is not limited to a photoelectric sensor, which detects whether the abnormal cigarette pack 2 to be rejected is still on the conveying mechanism 1 in the form of a photoelectric signal, such as a diffuse reflection photoelectric sensor, whose transmitter and receiver are installed in one unit, and the sensor uses the reflection of the object itself to be sensed by the receiver, without the need for auxiliary equipment, and has a simple structure, which can improve the space utilization rate of the cigarette pack abnormality detection device.
[0052] refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments, the distance between the verification mechanism 4 and the rejection actuator 2 is equal to the length of the cigarette pack 2 along the first direction. In this embodiment, the distance between the verification mechanism 4 and the rejection actuator 2 can be set to the length of a cigarette pack 2, so as to obtain the time for the cigarette pack 2 to pass between the verification mechanism 4 and the rejection actuator 2, so that the operator can determine whether the abnormal cigarette pack 2 is rejected according to the time interval between the adjacent cigarette packs 2 arriving at the verification mechanism 4.
[0053] In another aspect of the disclosed embodiment, a cigarette packaging system is provided, including a cigarette packing machine and any of the above-mentioned cigarette pack abnormality detection devices. In this embodiment, by providing a rejection mechanism 3 and a verification mechanism 4, the cigarette packaging system can not only reject abnormal cigarette packs during the cigarette packaging process, but also further verify whether the abnormal cigarette packs are rejected, thereby reducing the risk of the cigarette packs 2 not being rejected due to a failure of the rejection mechanism 3, improving the reliability of rejecting defective cigarette packs from the product line, and facilitating the quality of the product.
