The terms used in the present invention are only for describing specific embodiments, and are not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to the present invention.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, a cigarette packaging machine cigarette box label paper centering clamping and pushing device, comprising: a telescopic component 101, a parallel opening and closing type air gripper 102 and a mounting plate of the telescopic component 101;

[0032] The mounting plate of the telescopic assembly 101 is arranged above the feeding assembly 200 of the cigarette box label paper;

[0033] The telescopic assembly 101 is disposed on a telescopic assembly 101 mounting plate;

[0034] The parallel opening and closing type air gripper 102 is connected to the telescopic end of the telescopic component 101. The parallel opening and closing type air gripper 102 is installed perpendicular to the feeding direction of the feeding component 200, and is used to clamp the cigarette box trademark paper and position and center it in the vertical direction. Under the push of the telescopic component 101, the parallel opening and closing type air gripper 102 pushes the cigarette box trademark paper to move to the transition platform, and then to the receiving component 400.

[0035] Specifically, in this embodiment, the telescopic component 101 is a rodless cylinder, which is arranged on the mounting plate of the telescopic component 101 and can perform telescopic movements according to the command of the control system. The parallel opening and closing type air gripper 102 is connected to the telescopic end of the telescopic component 101. The air gripper is designed to be parallel opening and closing type, and can perform clamping movements along the feeding direction perpendicular to the feeding component 200 to achieve accurate clamping and positioning of the cigarette box trademark paper. The mounting plate of the telescopic component 101 is arranged directly above the feeding component 200 of the cigarette box trademark paper, and is used to support and fix the telescopic component 101 to ensure the stability and accuracy of the telescopic component 101 during operation.

[0036] During operation, the telescopic assembly 101 telescopes according to the command of the control system, driving the parallel opening and closing air gripper 102 connected to its telescopic end to clamp and release the cigarette box label paper. The parallel opening and closing air gripper 102 is installed perpendicular to the feeding direction to ensure the positioning and centering of the cigarette box label paper in the vertical direction.

[0037] The specific implementation steps are as follows:

[0038] Initial state: the rodless cylinder is in a retracted state, and the parallel opening and closing air claws 102 are open, ready to clamp the cigarette box label paper.

[0039] Clamping action: the control system issues a command, the rodless cylinder extends, and drives the parallel opening and closing air claw 102 to clamp the cigarette box label paper.

[0040] Positioning and centering: After the parallel opening and closing air gripper 102 clamps the cigarette box label paper, its vertical installation characteristic is utilized to realize accurate positioning of the cigarette box label paper in the vertical direction.

[0041] Pushing action: After the parallel opening and closing type air gripper 102 clamps and positions the cigarette case trademark paper, the rodless cylinder continues to extend, pushing the parallel opening and closing type air gripper 102 and the cigarette case trademark paper to move along the feeding direction to the transition platform.

[0042] Transition to the receiving assembly 400: After the cigarette box trademark paper has completed the necessary processing on the transition platform, it continues to be pushed to the receiving assembly 400 by the parallel opening and closing air gripper 102 to complete the entire pushing process.

[0043] In this embodiment, the telescopic action of the telescopic component 101 is controlled by a PLC controller, which receives a sensor signal from the transition platform and automatically adjusts the action of the telescopic component 101 according to the supply of cigarette case label paper to ensure a continuous and stable production process. Through the above specific implementation, the device of the utility model can realize the automatic clamping, positioning and pushing of cigarette case label paper, significantly improves the production efficiency and packaging quality of cigarette packaging, reduces the need for manual operation, and meets the needs of modern industrial automated production.

[0044] As a preferred example, it also includes an air gripper connecting plate 103, the first end of the air gripper connecting plate 103 is connected to the telescopic end of the telescopic assembly 101, the second end of the air gripper connecting plate 103 is perpendicular to the first end of the air gripper connecting plate 103, and the parallel opening and closing type air gripper 102 is arranged at the second end of the air gripper connecting plate 103.

[0045] Specifically, the air gripper connecting plate 103 is a rigid structural member, which is designed to transmit the power of the telescopic assembly 101 to the parallel opening and closing type air gripper 102. The first end of the air gripper connecting plate 103 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the telescopic assembly 101, ensuring that the movement of the telescopic assembly 101 can be directly transmitted to the parallel opening and closing type air gripper 102.

[0046] The second end of the air gripper connecting plate 103 is perpendicular to its first end. This vertical arrangement allows the air gripper connecting plate 103 to effectively convert the linear motion of the telescopic assembly 101 into the vertical motion of the parallel opening and closing air gripper 102 without increasing the horizontal space occupied.

[0047] The parallel opening and closing type air gripper 102 is fixedly arranged at the second end of the air gripper connecting plate 103. This arrangement enables the parallel opening and closing type air gripper 102 to open and close perpendicularly to the feeding direction to achieve the clamping and release of the cigarette box trademark paper.

[0048] The first end of the air gripper connecting plate 103 is fixed to the telescopic end of the telescopic assembly 101 by an appropriate connection method such as bolt connection, welding or direct molding, ensuring that when the telescopic assembly 101 moves, the air gripper connecting plate 103 can stably follow the telescopic movement.

[0049] The second end of the air gripper connecting plate 103 is designed with a mounting seat or a similar structure for fixing the parallel opening and closing type air gripper 102 to ensure the precise positioning of the parallel opening and closing type air gripper 102 during operation.

[0050] When the telescopic component 101 is extended and retracted according to the command of the control system, the air gripper connecting plate 103 moves accordingly, converting the linear motion of the telescopic component 101 into the vertical opening and closing motion of the parallel opening and closing air gripper 102, thereby clamping and positioning the cigarette box trademark paper.

[0051] Due to the vertical setting of the air gripper connecting plate 103, the entire parallel opening and closing type air gripper 102 assembly maintains a high degree of stability and operational accuracy when clamping and releasing, reducing errors caused by swinging or offsetting of the parallel opening and closing type air gripper 102.

[0052] The design of the air gripper connecting plate 103 simplifies the maintenance and adjustment process, and facilitates fine adjustment of the position and clamping force of the parallel opening and closing air gripper 102 to adapt to cigarette box label papers of different specifications.

[0053] Through the above-mentioned specific implementation methods, the device of the utility model not only improves the accuracy of clamping and positioning of cigarette box label paper, but also enhances the structural stability and operational reliability of the entire device, and further optimizes the automated production process of cigarette packaging.

[0054] As a preferred example, the extended end and the fixed end of the parallel opening and closing type air gripper 102 are respectively provided with an air gripper clamping plate 107 for clamping, positioning and centering the cigarette box label paper.

[0055] Specifically, the air gripper clamping plates 107 are arranged at both ends of the parallel opening and closing type air gripper 102, namely the extension end and the fixed end, respectively provided with air gripper clamping plates 107. These clamping plates are designed to contact the surface of the cigarette box label paper to achieve more stable and precise clamping.

[0056] The air gripper clamping plate 107 is respectively arranged at the extended end and the fixed end of the parallel opening and closing type air gripper 102. When the parallel opening and closing type air gripper 102 performs the opening and closing action, the clamping plate can apply uniform pressure to the cigarette box trademark paper to ensure its stability during the clamping process and prevent sliding or deviation.

[0057] The air gripper clamping plate 107 may be made of a material having sufficient strength and hardness, such as metal or high-hardness plastic, to ensure durability and reliability during operation.

[0058] The design of the air gripper clamping plate 107 allows the parallel opening and closing air gripper 102 to achieve accurate positioning and centering when clamping the cigarette box label paper. This centering not only improves the neatness of the packaging, but also ensures the accuracy of the subsequent pushing action.

[0059] The air gripper clamping plate 107 is fixedly mounted on the extended end and the fixed end of the parallel opening and closing type air gripper 102, and is connected to the parallel opening and closing type air gripper 102 body by means of bolts, welding or snap fastening.

[0060] When the telescopic assembly 101 pushes the parallel opening and closing type air gripper 102 to perform a clamping action, the air gripper clamping plate 107 contacts the cigarette box label paper and applies uniform pressure to achieve clamping.

[0061] The design and position of the air gripper clamping plate 107 ensure that the cigarette box label paper can be accurately centered in the vertical direction while being clamped.

[0062] After the material is pushed, the telescopic assembly 101 is retracted, and the air gripper clamping plate 107 is opened to release the cigarette box label paper and prepare for the next clamping action.

[0063] The air gripper clamping plate 107 can be adjusted or replaced as needed to adapt to cigarette box label papers of different sizes or thicknesses to ensure consistency in clamping and positioning.

[0064] Through the above specific implementation methods, the device of the utility model not only improves the clamping stability of the cigarette box label paper, but also further improves the automation degree and packaging quality of cigarette packaging through precise positioning and centering.

[0065] As a preferred example, a push plate 108 is provided on the air gripper clamping plate 107, and the push plate 108 is used to push the cigarette box trademark paper to move.

[0066] Specifically, a push plate 108 is provided on the air gripper clamping plate 107. The push plate 108 is a flat or slightly curved structure, which is designed to provide additional pushing force when the parallel opening and closing air gripper 102 clamps the cigarette box trademark paper, thereby helping the trademark paper to move smoothly from the feeding position to the transition platform or the receiving component 400.

[0067] The main function of the push plate 108 is to move the label paper along a predetermined path to the next station as the telescopic component 101 pushes after the parallel opening and closing air claws 102 clamp the cigarette box label paper, so as to ensure a smooth transition of the label paper.

[0068] The push plate 108 may be made of a wear-resistant material with a certain rigidity, such as a metal plate or engineering plastic, to ensure durability and stability during the pushing process.

[0069] The push plate 108 is arranged at an appropriate position of the air gripper clamping plate 107 to ensure that when the parallel opening and closing air gripper 102 clamps the cigarette box trademark paper, the push plate 108 can contact the bottom or back of the trademark paper to provide effective pushing force.

[0070] The push plate 108 is fixedly mounted on the air gripper clamping plate 107 and is connected to the air gripper clamping plate 107 by bolts, welding or snap fastening to ensure stability during the pushing process.

[0071] When the telescopic assembly 101 pushes the air claw clamping plate 107 to clamp the cigarette box label paper, the contact surface between the pushing plate 108 and the label paper forms a driving force to help the label paper move along the feeding direction.

[0072] The design of the push plate 108 ensures that the cigarette box label paper remains stable and undamaged during the movement from the feeding position to the transition platform or the receiving component 400.

[0073] Through the above specific implementation, the device of the utility model not only improves the pushing efficiency of the cigarette box trademark paper, but also ensures the stability and integrity of the trademark paper during movement through the setting of the pushing plate 108, further improving the automation level and packaging quality of cigarette packaging.

[0074] As a preferred example, a limit sleeve 106 is further provided at the extended end of the parallel opening and closing type air gripper 102 to limit the clamping position of the parallel opening and closing type air gripper 102 .

[0075] Specifically, a limit sleeve 106 is provided at the extended end of the parallel opening and closing type air gripper 102. The limit sleeve 106 is a fixed or adjustable positioning element, which is designed to limit the maximum extended position of the parallel opening and closing type air gripper 102 when clamping the cigarette box label paper.

[0076] The main function of the limiting sleeve 106 is to prevent the parallel opening and closing type air gripper 102 from over-stretching, and to ensure that the air gripper clamping plate 107 can apply uniform and appropriate pressure when clamping the cigarette box label paper, so as to avoid damage to the label paper or position deviation.

[0077] The limiting sleeve 106 may be made of a material with sufficient rigidity, such as metal or engineering plastic, to ensure its stability and durability during operation.

[0078] The limiting sleeve 106 is arranged at an appropriate position of the extended end of the parallel opening and closing type air gripper 102, and is aligned with the edge of the air gripper clamping plate 107 or maintains a certain gap to ensure that the parallel opening and closing type air gripper 102 can stop accurately when it is extended to the maximum position.

[0079] The limiting sleeve 106 is fixedly mounted on the extended end of the parallel opening and closing type air gripper 102 and connected to the parallel opening and closing type air gripper 102 body by bolts, welding or snap fastening to ensure the stability of the parallel opening and closing type air gripper 102 when in motion.

[0080] When the telescopic component 101 pushes the parallel opening and closing type air gripper 102 to perform a clamping action, the parallel opening and closing type air gripper 102 extends and pushes the air gripper clamping plate 107 to contact the cigarette box trademark paper. The function of the limiting sleeve 106 is to ensure that the parallel opening and closing type air gripper 102 does not exceed the predetermined clamping position.

[0081] The design of the limiting sleeve 106 ensures that the parallel opening and closing air gripper 102 can achieve precise position control when clamping the cigarette box label paper, thereby improving the accuracy and repeatability of the packaging process.

[0082] In some embodiments, the limiting sleeve 106 can be designed to be adjustable to accommodate cigarette box label papers of different sizes or thicknesses. By adjusting the position of the limiting sleeve 106 , the maximum extension length of the parallel opening and closing type air gripper 102 can be changed.

[0083] Through the above specific implementation, the device of the utility model not only improves the accuracy of clamping the cigarette box label paper, but also ensures the stability during the clamping process and the integrity of the label paper through the setting of the limiting sleeve 106, further improving the automation level and packaging quality of cigarette packaging.

[0084] As a preferred example, the telescopic component 101 is fixedly connected to a mounting plate, the mounting plate of the telescopic component 101 includes a horizontal plate 105 and a vertical plate 104, the telescopic component 101 is mounted on the horizontal plate 105, and the telescopic direction of the telescopic component 101 is parallel to the feeding direction of the feeding component 200.

[0085] Specifically, the mounting plate of the telescopic assembly 101 is composed of a horizontal plate 105 and a vertical plate 104, forming a stable support structure for fixing and supporting the telescopic assembly 101. The mounting plate of the telescopic assembly 101 is connected to the corresponding part of the cigarette packaging machine by a fixed connection method such as bolt connection, welding or direct molding to ensure stability and reliability during operation. The telescopic assembly 101 is installed on the horizontal plate 105, which provides horizontal support for the telescopic assembly 101, allowing the telescopic assembly 101 to perform linear telescopic movement thereon.

[0086] The telescopic direction of the telescopic component 101 is parallel to the feeding direction of the feeding component 200. This configuration ensures that the telescopic component 101 can apply force in the correct direction when pushing the parallel opening and closing air claws 102 to clamp and release the cigarette box trademark paper.

[0087] The mounting plate of the telescopic assembly 101 is designed to include at least two mutually perpendicular plates, namely a horizontal plate 105 and a vertical plate 104, forming an L-shaped or T-shaped structure to provide multi-directional support.

[0088] The telescopic assembly 101 is positioned on the transverse plate 105 , and appropriate positioning elements such as positioning pins or guide rails are used to ensure that the telescopic assembly 101 moves accurately in a predetermined direction.

[0089] The linear telescopic movement of the telescopic assembly 101 is coordinated with the opening and closing movement of the parallel opening and closing air gripper 102, ensuring synchronization and coordination when clamping and pushing the cigarette box trademark paper.

[0090] The design of the mounting plate of the telescopic assembly 101 allows the position and angle of the telescopic assembly 101 to be adjusted to meet different operating requirements or for maintenance.

[0091] The design of the vertical plate 104 increases the stability of the entire mounting plate, preventing the telescopic assembly 101 from tilting or deflecting when in motion.

[0092] Through the above specific implementation methods, the device of the utility model not only improves the clamping and pushing accuracy of the cigarette box trademark paper, but also enhances the stability and durability of the entire device through the structural design of the telescopic component 101 mounting plate, further improving the automation level and packaging quality of cigarette packaging.

[0093] As a preferred example, a magnetic switch is provided on the telescopic assembly 101 for detecting the position of the parallel opening and closing type air gripper 102 .

[0094] Specifically, a magnetic switch is provided on the telescopic assembly 101 , and the magnetic switch is a position detection device for monitoring the extension position of the parallel opening and closing type air gripper 102 in real time.

[0095] The magnetic switch converts the mechanical position of the parallel opening and closing type air gripper 102 into an electrical signal by sensing the position change of a magnetic element such as a magnet or a magnetic encoder on the parallel opening and closing type air gripper 102, thereby achieving precise control and feedback of the position of the parallel opening and closing type air gripper 102.

[0096] The magnetic switch may include an induction head fixed on the telescopic assembly 101 and a magnetic element connected to the parallel opening and closing type air gripper 102 , and the relative position change between the induction head and the magnetic element is used to determine the position of the parallel opening and closing type air gripper 102 .

[0097] When the telescopic component 101 pushes the parallel opening and closing type air gripper 102 to clamp or release, the magnetic element moves with the parallel opening and closing type air gripper 102, senses and outputs a signal through the magnetic switch, and the signal is used in the control system to realize real-time monitoring of the position of the parallel opening and closing type air gripper 102.

[0098] The magnetic switch is fixedly installed at an appropriate position of the telescopic component 101 to ensure that there is a sufficient sensing distance between its sensing head and the magnetic element on the parallel opening and closing air gripper 102 .

[0099] When the parallel opening and closing type air gripper 102 is extended or contracted, the position of the magnetic element relative to the induction head changes, and the magnetic switch outputs a corresponding electrical signal according to this change.

[0100] The output electrical signal is sent to a control system such as a PLC, and the control system determines the current position of the parallel opening and closing type air gripper 102 according to the signal and executes corresponding control logic.

[0101] Through the position feedback of the magnetic switch, the control system can accurately control the clamping and releasing actions of the parallel opening and closing air grippers 102 to ensure the accurate positioning and pushing of the cigarette box trademark paper.

[0102] The magnetic switch can be adjusted or maintained as needed to ensure its long-term stable operation and provide accurate feedback signals.

[0103] Through the above specific implementation, the device of the utility model not only improves the accuracy of clamping and pushing the cigarette box label paper, but also enhances the automation control level and response speed of the entire device through the position detection function of the magnetic switch.

[0104] As a preferred example, the transition platform is provided with a coiling module for rolling out the wrapping paper outside the cigarette box trademark paper, and the transition platform is also provided with a sensor for detecting material shortage.

[0105] Specifically, a coiling module is provided on the transition platform, and the module is designed to roll up the packaging paper outside the cigarette box trademark paper to facilitate the subsequent packaging process.

[0106] The coiling module includes at least one reel and a motor driving the reel to rotate. When the cigarette box trademark paper is pushed onto the transition platform, the reel of the coiling module rotates to peel the packaging paper from the outside of the trademark paper and roll it up.

[0107] A sensor for detecting material shortage is also provided on the transition platform. The sensor is designed to monitor the supply situation of cigarette box trademark paper on the transition platform in real time.

[0108] When the sensor detects that the amount of cigarette box trademark paper on the transition platform is lower than the preset threshold, it will send out a material shortage signal, triggering the control system to perform corresponding processing, such as pausing material pushing or sounding an alarm.

[0109] The out-of-material detection sensor is integrated with the structure of the transition platform to ensure that it can accurately detect the supply status of the cigarette box label paper.

[0110] When the sensor detects a shortage of material, the signal sent is sent to the control system, and the control system executes the preset shortage of material processing program according to the signal.

[0111] After receiving the material shortage signal, the control system can automatically adjust the action of the telescopic component 101, suspend the material pushing, or issue a material shortage alarm through the user interface to prompt the operator to replenish.

[0112] Through the above specific implementation methods, the device of the utility model not only realizes the effective rolling out of the outer packaging paper of the cigarette box trademark paper, but also improves the automation and intelligence level of the cigarette packaging machine through the setting of the lack of material detection sensor, ensuring the continuity and reliability of the production process.

[0113] As a preferred example, the telescopic component 101 also includes a PLC controller for receiving a material shortage signal of the transition platform, and the PLC controller is used to control the telescopic action of the telescopic component 101 according to the material shortage signal.

[0114] Specifically, the telescopic assembly 101 further includes a PLC controller for receiving a material shortage signal of the transition platform. The PLC controller is a programmable logic controller for receiving sensor signals and executing preset control logic.

[0115] The main function of the PLC controller is to automatically control the telescopic action of the telescopic component 101 according to the received material shortage signal to respond to the supply of cigarette box label paper.

[0116] The PLC controller receives the signal from the material shortage detection sensor on the transition platform through the input interface. When the sensor detects the material shortage and sends a signal, the PLC controller processes it according to the preset program logic.

[0117] According to the processing result, the PLC controller sends a control signal to the telescopic component 101 through the output interface to control its telescopic action, such as stopping pushing the new cigarette box trademark paper into the coiling module, or triggering an alarm to remind the operator.

[0118] The PLC controller is programmed with the required control logic to ensure it responds correctly to the material shortage signal.

[0119] The input interface of the PLC controller is connected to the material shortage detection sensor on the transition platform, and the output interface is connected to the telescopic component 101.

[0120] Instructions for connecting the drive mechanism.

[0121] When the PLC controller receives the material shortage signal, it automatically adjusts the action of the telescopic component 101 according to a preset control program, such as stopping the telescopic component 101 or moving it in the reverse direction.

[0122] The PLC controller can also provide operator interaction through the user interface, such as displaying low-material status, providing manual control options, or recording event logs.

[0123] Through the above-mentioned specific implementation methods, the device of the utility model not only realizes the effective rolling out of the outer packaging paper of the cigarette box trademark paper and the automatic detection of material shortage, but also further improves the automation and intelligence level of the cigarette packaging machine through the intelligent control of the PLC controller, ensuring the continuity, flexibility and reliability of the production process.

[0124] As a preferred example, the telescopic assembly 101 is a rodless cylinder.

[0125] Specifically, the telescopic component 101 adopts a rodless cylinder, which has the advantages of compact structure, smooth movement, and less wear compared with the traditional rod cylinder. The rodless cylinder is used to realize the movement of the parallel opening and closing type air claw 102. The parallel opening and closing type air claw 102 is also provided with a clamping cylinder. The parallel opening and closing type air claw 102 is pushed to clamp or release the cigarette box trademark paper through the extension and contraction of the cylinder to achieve precise positioning and pushing. The structure of the rodless cylinder includes a central axis and one or more pneumatic pistons. The central axis is connected to the parallel opening and closing type air claw 102. The pneumatic piston moves inside the cylinder, and the extension and contraction of the central axis is achieved through the change of air pressure. Since the rodless cylinder does not produce lateral movement when extending and contracting, it can reduce interference with surrounding structures and improve the stability of the equipment and the accuracy of operation.

[0126] The rodless cylinder is mounted on the mounting plate of the telescopic assembly 101 and is secured with appropriate fixing means such as bolt connection or clamping to ensure its stability during operation.

[0127] The telescopic movement of the rodless cylinder is controlled by a pneumatic control system, which adjusts the air pressure entering the cylinder to achieve accurate telescopic movement of the cylinder. The central axis of the rodless cylinder is directly or through a connecting rod connected to the parallel opening and closing type air gripper 102, ensuring that the telescopic movement of the cylinder can be accurately transmitted to the parallel opening and closing type air gripper 102.

[0128] Through the above specific implementation methods, the device of the utility model uses a rodless cylinder as the telescopic component 101, which not only improves the accuracy of clamping and pushing the cigarette box trademark paper, but also enhances the stability and durability of the entire device through its structural advantages, further improving the automation level and packaging quality of cigarette packaging.

[0129] As a preferred example, a five-position three-way solenoid valve is used to control the air inlet and outlet of the rodless cylinder to achieve accurate positioning of the cigarette box trademark paper; the five-position three-way solenoid valve has three states: cylinder rod extending, cylinder rod retracting and cylinder rod stopping. By controlling the state of the solenoid valve, precise control of the cylinder rod can be achieved.

[0130] In the air circuit system of the rodless cylinder, a five-position three-way solenoid valve is installed, which can control the two air chambers of the cylinder to realize the extension, retraction and stop of the cylinder rod.

[0131] By programming or setting the control logic, the PLC controller sends the position feedback signal of the parallel opening and closing air gripper 102 to the five manuals.

[0132] The three-way solenoid valve sends control instructions to adjust the movement of the cylinder rod.

[0133] The three states of the solenoid valve correspond to different gas circuit combinations to achieve precise control of the cylinder rod:

[0134] Extended state: Compressed air is provided to one air chamber of the cylinder to extend the cylinder rod and push the parallel opening and closing type air claw 102.

[0135] Retract state: supply compressed air to the other air chamber of the cylinder to retract the cylinder rod.

[0136] Stop state: Cut off the air supply to stop the cylinder rod from moving and maintain the current position.

[0137] Realization of positioning accuracy: By precisely controlling the state of the solenoid valve, the micro-motion control of the cylinder rod is achieved, thereby ensuring the accurate positioning of the cigarette box trademark paper during the pushing process.

[0138] Integrate the five-position three-way solenoid valve with the PLC controller, position sensor and rodless cylinder into a control system to form a closed-loop control circuit to achieve automatic control.

[0139] Install a five-position three-way solenoid valve in the air circuit system of the rodless cylinder and ensure that it is connected to the output interface of the PLC controller.

[0140] Program the PLC controller to set the control logic of the solenoid valve and automatically switch the state of the solenoid valve according to the feedback signal of the position sensor.

[0141] Perform system debugging to ensure that the solenoid valve can accurately respond to the instructions of the PLC controller and achieve precise control of the cylinder rod.

[0142] During the production process, the PLC controller automatically adjusts the state of the solenoid valve according to the real-time feedback signal, controls the action of the rodless cylinder, and achieves accurate positioning of the cigarette box label paper.

[0143] Regularly check the working status of the solenoid valve and related pneumatic components, adjust the control logic according to production needs, and optimize system performance.

[0144] Through the above specific implementation methods, the control method of the utility model uses a five-position three-way solenoid valve to accurately control the air path of the rodless cylinder, thereby achieving accurate positioning of the cigarette box label paper during the cigarette packaging process and improving the degree of automation and production efficiency.

[0145] Figure 1 The display shows the initial state of the centering clamping and pushing device. The incoming label paper is piled on the feeding mesh belt. The tray box label paper is generally stacked in 500 sheets, and the weight of a stack is about 2-3 kg. The label paper is tied with a kraft paper belt. Nine stacks can be stacked on the feeding mesh belt of the feeding assembly 200. At this time, the rodless cylinder is in the retracted state, and the parallel opening and closing air claw 102 is in the open state.

[0146] like Figure 2As shown, when there is no material on the transition platform of the coiling module, the system will send a material shortage signal to the PLC. The PLC controls the rodless cylinder to drive the parallel opening and closing air claws 102 to move forward, and push the cigarette box trademark paper wrapped with kraft paper onto the transition platform of the coiling module. The parallel opening and closing air claws 102 will clamp along the vertical direction of the feed mesh belt to position the trademark paper. Because this position is in the middle state of the rodless cylinder, it is necessary to add a magnetic switch to the cylinder to detect the position, and use a five-position three-way solenoid valve to control the timing of air inlet and outlet, so as to achieve accurate positioning of the trademark paper and realize the cutting and separation of kraft leather at this work station.

[0147] manual

[0148] After the kraft paper is separated from the cigarette box label paper, the rodless cylinder will push the material along the direction of the feed mesh belt and push the label paper onto the receiving component 400 platform. Figure 3 As shown, after the material is pushed into place, the system will feed back a signal of arrival to the PLC, control the rodless cylinder to return to the initial position, and open the parallel opening and closing air claw 102 to prepare for the next material pushing.
