Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cigarette machinery and equipment, and more specifically, to a missing-packet detection device for a cigarette packing machine. Background Art

[0002] With the popularization and application of the "cigarette packet - carton" correlation management system in the cigarette industry, by using the two-dimensional codes on cigarette packets and cartons to form a logical correlation through a scanning device, it is beneficial to the statistics and tracking of the production information of cigarette products. Among them, the scanner at the outlet of the FOCKE401 small box beautifier scans the two-dimensional codes of two stacked cigarette packets. If there is a single cigarette packet, the "cigarette packet - carton" correlation management system defaults that the stack of cigarette packets is a single packet and needs to be removed, and the packing machine will not stop operating. Since there is no alarm information, a large number of cigarette cartons may appear at the FOCKE408 removal port, and manual scanning management is required or the transparent paper of the small box needs to be torn off and then added back to the inlet of the FOCKE401, and the two-dimensional code is re-assigned to the cigarette packet again. This increases the labor intensity of the operator and is likely to cause damage to the cigarette packet packaging box and cigarettes, affecting production efficiency.

[0003] Therefore, how to provide a missing-packet detection device for a cigarette packing machine has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Summary of the Utility Model

[0021] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative in nature and in no way limits the present invention or its application or use.

[0022] Techniques, methods and devices known to those of ordinary skill in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the techniques, methods and devices should be regarded as part of the specification.

[0023] In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values should be construed as merely exemplary and not as a limitation. Thus, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0024] As Figure 1 shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a device for detecting missing cigarette packs in a cigarette packing machine, including: a cigarette pack beautifier 1, a conveyor assembly 2 and a detection assembly 3.

[0025] The conveyor assembly 2 and the detection assembly 3 are arranged at the inlet end of the cigarette pack beautifier 1; the cigarette pack beautifier 1 includes an inlet track 4, and the inlet track 4 is used to convey the cigarette pack 5 into the cigarette pack beautifier 1; the conveyor assembly 2 includes a conveyor track 21 and a conveyor belt 22, the conveyor belts 22 are respectively arranged on both sides of the conveyor track 21, and the stacked cigarette packs 5 are located on the conveyor track 21.

[0026] The detection assembly includes two proximity switches 31 and a controller. The two proximity switches 31 are respectively arranged on the inlet track 4 and are respectively arranged corresponding to two cigarette packs 5. The two proximity switches 31 are respectively connected to the controller and are used to transmit signals to the controller.

[0027] During the working process, when the two proximity switches 31 detect a single-pack situation of the cigarette packs 5 on the inlet track 4, the proximity switches 31 transmit signals to the controller, and the controller controls the packing machine to stop and issues an alarm signal.

[0028] It should be noted that the situation of single packs appearing on the import track 4 is as follows: the upper cigarette packs 5 are missing and the lower cigarette packs 5 are missing. Since the cigarette packs 5 are conveyed to the import track 4 through the conveyor belt 22, there may be a situation where two stacks of cigarette packs 5 sandwich a stack of cigarette packs 5. Even if the lower cigarette packs 5 are missing, the upper cigarette packs 5 can still be kept moving. Therefore, two proximity switches 31 need to be respectively arranged corresponding to the two layers of cigarette packs 5 to detect the two layers of cigarette packs 5, thus avoiding various situations of missing packs.

[0029] The missing-pack detection component 3 of the present utility model is arranged at the import end of the cigarette pack beautifier 1, and thus, before the cigarette packs 5 enter the interior of the cigarette pack beautifier 1, the stacked cigarette packs 5 are subjected to missing-pack detection, avoiding the problem of a large number of single packs appearing.

[0030] In an implementation manner of the missing-pack detection device of the cigarette packing machine of the present utility model, the conveying component 2 and the detection component 3 are arranged at the import end of the cigarette pack beautifier 1. The conveyor belts 22 are respectively arranged on both sides of the conveying track 21. The stacked cigarette packs 5 are located on the conveying track 21. Two proximity switches 31 are respectively arranged on the import track 4 and are respectively arranged corresponding to the two cigarette packs 5. The two proximity switches 31 are respectively connected to the controller. During the working process, when the two proximity switches 31 detect a single-pack situation of the cigarette packs 5 on the import track 4, the proximity switches 31 transmit signals to the controller, and the controller controls the packing machine to stop and emits an alarm signal. Thus, the situation that a large number of cigarette packs 5 are stacked due to single cigarette packs 5 being rejected is avoided, and at the same time, the problem that the cigarette packs 5 are damaged when being rejected is also avoided, effectively reducing the labor intensity of the operators and improving the production efficiency.

[0031] In an implementation manner of the missing-pack detection device of the cigarette packing machine of the present utility model, the detection component further includes fixing bolts 32, and the two proximity switches 31 are fixed on the import track 4 through the fixing bolts 32.

[0032] The present utility model fixes the two proximity switches 31 on the import track 4 through the fixing bolts 32, increasing the stability of the two proximity switches 31 fixed on the import track 4, and also improving the stability and service life of the missing-pack detection device of the cigarette packing machine of the present utility model during operation.

[0033] In an implementation manner of the missing-pack detection device of the cigarette packing machine of the present utility model, the detection component further includes a color mark sensor 33. The color mark sensor 33 is connected to the controller. The color mark sensor 33 is used to detect the colors of the two cigarette packs 5 and transmit signals to the controller.

[0034] Specifically, the color mark sensor 33 is connected to the proximity switch 31. First, the color of the stacked cigarette packs 5 is detected by the color mark sensor 33, and then detected by the two proximity switches 31. When the stacked cigarette packs 5 are conveyed to the position of the color mark sensor 33, the color mark sensor 33 identifies the cigarette packs 5 and transmits a signal to the controller; when the stacked cigarette packs 5 are conveyed to the proximity switches 31, the two proximity switches 31 identify the cigarette packs 5. When both cigarette packs 5 are present, the proximity switch 31 outputs a high-level signal and transmits the signal to the controller, and the controller does not drive the rejection device to operate; if there is a high-level signal in one of the two proximity switches 31, it indicates a missing pack, and the signal drives the rejection device to operate to reject the single cigarette pack 5.

[0035] If there is a missing pack in three consecutive cycles, the controller controls the packaging machine to stop and issues an alarm signal.

[0036] It should be noted that the above rejection device is a prior art and is not limited here.

[0037] In the present utility model, by connecting the color mark sensor 33 to the controller, the color mark sensor 33 is used to detect the colors of two cigarette packs 5 and transmit signals to the controller, further avoiding the situation where a large number of cigarette packs 5 accumulate due to the rejection of single cigarette packs 5, and effectively improving the working efficiency.

[0038] In an embodiment of the missing-pack detection device of the cigarette packaging machine of the present utility model, the detection assembly further includes a support frame 34. The first end of the support frame 34 is arranged on the conveying track 21, the color mark sensor 33 is arranged at the second end of the support frame 34, and the color mark sensor 33 is located above the conveying track 21.

[0040] In an embodiment of the missing-pack detection device of the cigarette packaging machine of the present utility model, the detection assembly further includes a connecting rod 35 and fixing nuts. The connecting rod 35 penetrates through the second end of the support frame 34, and the color mark sensor 33 is arranged on the connecting rod 35, and the fixing nuts are respectively arranged at both ends of the connecting rod 35.

[0041] In the present utility model, by passing the connecting rod 35 through the second end of the support frame 34, arranging the color mark sensor 33 on the connecting rod 35, and respectively arranging the fixing nuts at both ends of the connecting rod 35, the color mark sensor 33 installed on the connecting rod 35 is fixed by the fixing nuts.

[0042] In an embodiment of the missing-packet detection device of the cigarette packing machine of the present utility model, both proximity switches 31 are arranged at the first end of the inlet track 4, and the second end of the inlet track 4 communicates with the cigarette packet beautifier 1.

[0043] In the present utility model, by arranging both proximity switches 31 at the first end of the inlet track 4, with the second end of the inlet track 4 communicating with the cigarette packet beautifier 1, the inlet track 4 transports the stacked cigarette packets 5, ensuring the stability of the transportation of the stacked cigarette packets 5 and avoiding the occurrence of a large number of single cigarette packets 5.

[0044] In an embodiment of the missing-packet detection device of the cigarette packing machine of the present utility model, the conveying assembly 2 further includes a frame, and both the conveying track 21 and the conveyor belt 22 are arranged on the frame.
