Detailed implementation manners
[0034] To make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. The described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present utility model.
[0035] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present utility model provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed present utility model, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0036] Embodiment 1:
[0037] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 , a novel appearance detection device for strip cigarettes of the present utility model, includes a first conveying component and a buffer component. The first conveying component includes a first conveying assembly, and the first conveying assembly is provided with a first conveying plane in contact with the strip cigarettes; and the buffer component is centered on the first conveying component, and the buffer component is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the first conveying component; wherein, the buffer component includes a second conveying assembly and a driving member; the driving member is drivingly connected to the second conveying assembly, and the second conveying assembly is provided with a second conveying plane in contact with the strip cigarettes; the first conveying plane and the second conveying plane are perpendicularly arranged; the conveying speed of the second conveying assembly is less than the conveying speed of the first conveying assembly.
[0038] Specifically, the first conveying component is used to convey the strip cigarettes to the next working station. The buffer component is used to slow down the moving speed of the strip cigarettes, thereby increasing the distance between two adjacent strip cigarettes. The first conveying plane is used to contact the bottom surface of the strip cigarettes. The second conveying plane is used to contact the end surfaces of the strip cigarettes. The moving direction of the second conveying assembly can be the same as that of the first conveying assembly or opposite to that of the first conveying assembly, depending on the actual situation.
[0039] In the novel cigarette appearance detection device of this embodiment, the specific operation process is as follows: The first conveying plane is in contact with the bottom surface of the cigarette, and moves in the direction of the next working station through the first conveying component. When the cigarette moves to the buffer component, the second conveying plane is in contact with the two end faces of the cigarette, and the driving component drives the second conveying component to move, so as to provide a certain conveying force for the two end faces of the cigarette. Since the conveying speed of the second conveying component is less than the conveying speed of the first conveying component, there will be a resistance to the cigarette moving to the next working station, thereby reducing the moving speed of the cigarette, increasing the distance from the previous cigarette, avoiding the phenomenon that two cigarettes enter the detection component at the same time, improving the detection accuracy, and ensuring the quality of the cigarette appearance. And there is no need to spend manpower to supervise at all times, the operation is simple, time-saving and labor-saving, and the automation degree is effectively improved.
[0040] Moreover, by arranging buffer components on both sides of the first conveying component, the deceleration of the passing cigarettes is realized. The overall structure design is simple and ingenious, occupies a small space, is convenient for improving the detection mechanism, and has strong practicability.
[0041] In some embodiments, please refer to the attached Figure 2 , the second conveying component includes a driving wheel, a driven wheel and a second conveyor belt. The driving wheel and the driven wheel are arranged in parallel, and the second conveyor belt is sleeved between the driving wheel and the driven wheel. It can be understood that the driving source for driving the driving wheel to rotate can be realized by using a motor or other existing driving means. Through the cooperative setting between the driving wheel and the driven wheel, the second conveyor belt is driven to move, so that certain forces are applied to both ends of the cigarette, and then the moving speed of the cigarette is changed.
[0042] Please refer to the attached Figure 3 , the buffer component further includes an elastic component. The elastic component is linearly arranged between the driving wheel and the driven wheel and is in contact with the second conveyor belt. Through this setting, when the length of the cigarette is relatively long, during the process of passing through the second conveyor belt, both ends of the cigarette apply a force to resist deformation to the second conveyor belt, and the force is transmitted to the elastic component through the second conveyor belt, and then the force to resist deformation is buffered and absorbed correspondingly, effectively protecting the cigarette, avoiding the cigarette from being deformed by force, and ensuring the quality of the cigarette.
[0043] Specifically, the elastic component includes a support seat, a tensioning shaft in contact with the second conveyor belt, and a buffer plate; the buffer plate is connected between the support seat and the tensioning shaft. Preferably, the buffer plate is a carbon fiber buffer plate. The included angle formed between the buffer plate and the support seat is any value between 40° and 60°. It can be understood that the smaller the included angle formed between the buffer plate and the support seat, the corresponding elasticity increases, so the ability to absorb the force from the cigarette also increases.
[0044] Through the above elastic component setting, when the cigarette cartons squeeze the second conveyor belt, the second conveyor belt transmits the squeezing force to the tensioning shaft, and then applies a pressure towards the support seat to the buffer plate, causing the buffer plate to move towards the support seat, so as to absorb the force of the cigarette cartons resisting deformation, effectively protect the cigarette cartons, avoid the deformation of the cigarette cartons, and protect the quality of the cigarette cartons.
[0045] In some embodiments, two or more tensioning shafts are arranged in an array. Preferably, 5 tensioning shafts are provided. Specifically, the length of the buffer component can be flexibly designed according to the actual movement of the cigarette cartons, and then the number of tensioning shafts can be set accordingly.
[0046] In some embodiments, the first conveying component includes a first conveyor belt and a driving wheel, and the driving wheel drives the first conveyor belt to move. Through this setting, the driving source for driving the conveyor wheel can be realized by using an existing motor or other means. The first conveyor belt is driven by the conveyor wheel to move, and then the cigarette cartons are driven to the next working station, ensuring the smooth operation of the cigarette cartons.
[0047] Embodiment 2:
[0048] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that, please refer to the attached Figure 4 , the novel cigarette carton appearance detection device of this embodiment further includes a third conveying component and a detection component, the detection component is arranged around the third conveying component, and the input end of the third conveying component is connected in parallel with the output end of the first conveying component; wherein, the third conveying component includes symmetrically arranged third conveying components, and the area between the two third conveying components forms a bottom surface detection area.
[0049] It can be understood that the first conveying component is used to transfer the cigarette cartons to the detection station, which is equivalent to bringing the cigarette cartons from the previous station to the detection station; the function of the third conveying component is to bring the cigarette cartons through the detection. The input end and the output end are determined according to the moving direction of the cigarette cartons.
[0050] Through the symmetric setting of the above third conveying components, the area between the two third conveying components forms a bottom surface detection area, that is, the middle of the bottom is in a hollow state. When the cigarette cartons are in the detection section, the bottom can also be detected, so as to achieve full-range and non-missing detection. The process of flipping the cigarette cartons for re-detection can be saved, effectively saving the detection time and improving the detection efficiency. And the overall structure is more concise.
[0051] Please refer to the attached Figure 5, the detection component includes a first detection component, a second detection component, a third detection component, and a fourth detection component. The first detection component is disposed above the third conveying component away from the first conveying component; the second detection component is disposed on both sides of the third conveying component; the third detection component is disposed between the first detection component and the second detection component and is arranged side by side with the first detection component; the fourth detection component is disposed below the third conveying component close to the first conveying component, and the fourth detection component passes through the bottom surface detection area to detect the lower surface and the rear side surface of the strip cigarette.
[0052] Specifically, each detection component uses a camera to achieve detection. The first detection component is used to detect the upper surface and the front side surface of the strip cigarette. The second detection component is used to detect the left and right small end faces of the strip cigarette. The third detection component is used to detect the drawstring of the strip cigarette. The fourth detection component is used to detect the lower surface and the rear side surface of the strip cigarette.
[0053] Through the setting of the above detection component, the strip cigarette is conveyed through the third conveying component and passes through the detection component. First, the first detection component is triggered to detect the upper surface and the front side surface of the strip cigarette. Secondly, the second detection component is triggered to detect the left and right small end faces of the strip cigarette. Then, the third detection component is triggered to detect the drawstring. Finally, the fourth detection component is triggered to detect the lower surface and the rear side surface of the strip cigarette. Furthermore, a full-range detection of the strip cigarette can be realized, ensuring the comprehensiveness of the detection, effectively saving the detection time, and improving the detection efficiency.
