[0033] The tobacco storage cabinet is a device used in the tobacco leaf preparation process of the cigarette manufacturing process. The tobacco leaves in the previous stage are sliced, sprayed and stirred with additives, stored and fermented, shredded and then transported into the storage cabinet, waiting to enter the cigarette manufacturing process. The feeding of the tobacco storage cabinet is carried out by spreading the material in the way that the cloth-feeding vehicle moves from the head to the tail of the tobacco storage cabinet. However, in the actual operation process, it is very difficult to ensure the flatness of the cut tobacco inside the tobacco storage cabinet after cloth-feeding. The uneven cloth-feeding will cause the fluctuation of the discharge flow rate of the tobacco storage cabinet, affect the flow stability of the subsequent process, and have an impact on the process quality, so as to avoid the fluctuation of the discharge flow rate of the tobacco storage cabinet.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 , an embodiment of the present utility model provides a flatness adjustment system for a tobacco storage cabinet, which includes a cloth-feeding component 100 and a detection component 200. The cloth-feeding component 100 includes a cloth-feeding vehicle 110 and a cloth-feeding track 120. The cloth-feeding track 120 is installed on the tobacco storage cabinet 300, and the cloth-feeding vehicle 110 travels on the cloth-feeding track 120; the detection component 200 is suitable for detecting the flatness of the cut tobacco material 400 inside the tobacco storage cabinet 300; the cloth-feeding vehicle 110 can fill the sunken parts of the cut tobacco material 400 inside the tobacco storage cabinet 300 according to the detection result of the detection component 200.

[0035] The cloth-feeding track 120 is installed on the tobacco storage cabinet 300, and the cloth-feeding vehicle 110 travels on the cloth-feeding track 120, then the material spreading work can be carried out; the detection component 200 detects the flatness of the cut tobacco material 400 inside the tobacco storage cabinet 300. According to the detection result of the detection component 200, the cloth-feeding vehicle 110 can fill the sunken parts of the cut tobacco material 400 inside the tobacco storage cabinet 300 to ensure the flatness of the cut tobacco material 400 inside the tobacco storage cabinet 300 and avoid the fluctuation of the discharge flow rate of the tobacco storage cabinet 300.

[0036] It can be understood that the flatness of the cut tobacco material 400 inside the tobacco storage cabinet 300 is the geometric tolerance of the surface smoothness of the cut tobacco material 400 inside the tobacco storage cabinet 300, which is used to ensure that the surface of the cut tobacco material 400 inside the tobacco storage cabinet 300 maintains a certain straightness within the specified allowable deviation. The higher the flatness of the cut tobacco material 400 inside the tobacco storage cabinet 300, the more uniform and flat the cut tobacco material 400 inside the tobacco storage cabinet 300 is.

[0037] It can be understood that the detection component 200 can measure the specific conditions on the surface of the cut tobacco material 400 in the tobacco storage cabinet 300 for cigarettes, so as to judge the flatness of the cut tobacco material 400 inside the tobacco storage cabinet 300 for cigarettes, and further determine the position of the concave part of the cut tobacco material 400 inside the tobacco storage cabinet 300 for cigarettes. The cloth vehicle 110 fills the concave part of the cut tobacco material 400 inside the tobacco storage cabinet 300 for cigarettes to improve the flatness of the cut tobacco material 400 inside the tobacco storage cabinet 300 for cigarettes, ensure the uniform distribution of the cut tobacco in the tobacco storage cabinet 300 for cigarettes, and improve the filling degree of the tobacco storage cabinet 300 for cigarettes.

[0038] It can be understood that the cloth vehicle 110 can perform the material spreading operation. At the same time, the cloth vehicle 110 can fill the concave part of the cut tobacco material 400 inside the storage cabinet, making the cut tobacco material 400 inside the storage cabinet more uniform and flat. In the embodiment of the present utility model, the cloth vehicle 110 can not only spread the cut tobacco into the storage cabinet, but also correct the cut tobacco material 400 inside the storage cabinet, making the cut tobacco material 400 inside the storage cabinet flat and uniform. The cloth vehicle 110 in the embodiment of the present utility model is a common device for the cut tobacco into cabinet process. Without adding new devices, the flatness of the cut tobacco surface during the cut tobacco into cabinet process is improved by optimizing the existing production process, thereby improving the economic benefits and production efficiency.

[0039] In one embodiment, the detection component 200 includes a laser emitter 210 and at least two laser receivers 220. The two laser receivers 220 are arranged in different directions of the laser emitter 210; the laser emitter 210 is suitable for irradiating the inside of the tobacco storage cabinet 300 for cigarettes; the laser receiver 220 is suitable for receiving the reflected laser.

[0040] It can be understood that by irradiating the inside of the tobacco storage cabinet 300 for cigarettes with the laser emitter 210, after the laser irradiates the cut tobacco material 400 located inside the tobacco storage cabinet 300 for cigarettes and is reflected, it will reach the detection component 200, and the corresponding two laser receivers 220 receive the reflected laser. The detection component 200 processes the laser signal emitted by the laser emitter 210 and the laser signal received by the laser receiver 220, calculates the distance between the detection component 200 and the cut tobacco material 400 inside the tobacco storage cabinet 300 for cigarettes, and generates a three-dimensional image or other types of images through algorithm processing, so as to analyze the situation of the cut tobacco material 400 inside the tobacco storage cabinet 300 for cigarettes.

[0041] By using laser detection, the cut tobacco material 400 inside the tobacco storage cabinet 300 is detected without contacting the cut tobacco material 400 inside the tobacco storage cabinet 300, avoiding damage to the cut tobacco, reducing the risk of impurities being mixed into the cut tobacco material 400, and ensuring the purity of the cut tobacco. The non-contact detection method enables the components of the detection assembly 200 not to enter the inside of the tobacco storage cabinet 300 during the detection process, reducing the interference with the work of loading cut tobacco into the cabinet. Laser detection can achieve rapid measurement, almost obtaining measurement data in real time, enabling real-time detection of the cut tobacco material 400 during the process of loading cut tobacco into the cabinet, promptly filling the depressions in the cut tobacco material 400, achieving rapid response, and enabling real-time adjustment of the flatness of the cut tobacco material 400 in the tobacco storage cabinet 300 during the process of loading cut tobacco into the cabinet, which is beneficial to the progress of the work of loading cut tobacco into the cabinet.

[0042] In one embodiment, the detection assembly 200 is an acoustic wave sensor (not shown in the figure). An acoustic wave sensor is a device that uses acoustic waves for detection and measurement. The acoustic wave sensor works by emitting acoustic waves and receiving the reflected acoustic wave signals, and by analyzing these signals, information about the object to be measured can be obtained.

[0043] By using acoustic wave detection, the cut tobacco material 400 inside the tobacco storage cabinet 300 is detected without contacting the cut tobacco material 400 inside the tobacco storage cabinet 300, avoiding damage to the cut tobacco, reducing the risk of impurities being mixed into the cut tobacco material 400, and ensuring the purity of the cut tobacco. The non-contact detection method enables the components of the detection assembly 200 not to enter the inside of the tobacco storage cabinet 300 during the detection process, reducing the interference with the work of loading cut tobacco into the cabinet. Acoustic wave detection can achieve rapid measurement, almost obtaining measurement data in real time, enabling real-time detection of the cut tobacco material 400 during the process of loading cut tobacco into the cabinet, promptly filling the depressions in the cut tobacco material 400, achieving rapid response, and enabling real-time adjustment of the flatness of the cut tobacco material 400 in the tobacco storage cabinet 300 during the process of loading cut tobacco into the cabinet, which is beneficial to the progress of the work of loading cut tobacco into the cabinet. Moreover, acoustic wave ranging is a relatively mature technology with low failure rate; the mechanical structure of the acoustic wave sensor is simple, the price is cheap, the maintenance cost is reduced, the installation is simple, and it is convenient for assembly; the acoustic wave sensor uses energy in the form of non-electromagnetic waves (acoustic waves), posing almost no safety risk to humans and animals, and having high safety.

[0044] In one embodiment, the detection assembly 200 includes at least two image acquirers (not shown in the figure). The two image acquirers are spaced apart. The image acquirer is suitable for acquiring images inside the tobacco storage cabinet 300. The two image acquirers are spaced apart to photograph the inside of the tobacco storage cabinet 300 from slightly different angles. By using two cameras to photograph the same scene from slightly different angles, and then calculating the distance by analyzing the differences between the two images. The image acquirer is generally a camera.

[0045] In one embodiment, the detection component 200 is installed on the cloth vehicle 110. The detection component 200 is suitable for measuring the flatness of the cut tobacco material 400. Therefore, it is necessary to obtain data at different positions of the cut tobacco material 400 inside the tobacco storage cabinet 300. Installing the detection component 200 on the cloth vehicle 110 enables the detection component 200 to move along with the operation of the cloth vehicle 110, so as to obtain the flatness conditions of different positions of the cut tobacco material 400 inside the tobacco storage cabinet 300. The cloth vehicle 110 is a commonly used device in the process of loading cut tobacco into the cabinet. Installing the detection component 200 on the cloth vehicle 110 does not require adding other devices to drive the movement of the detection component 200, which saves costs. At the same time, it is convenient to improve the existing cabinet loading process, with strong flexibility; and there is no need to use other power sources to drive the movement of the detection component 200, which saves energy; in addition, by using the cloth vehicle 110 to drive the movement of the detection component 200, the detection component 200 can move along with the material spreading operation of the cloth vehicle 110, and can detect the flatness of the cut tobacco material 400 in real time.

[0046] In the related art, affected by the process, the storage state of the cut tobacco in the cabinet is low in the middle and high on both sides, the cut tobacco is unevenly distributed, the storage material efficiency of the buffer cabinet is low, and the uneven cloth will cause fluctuations in the discharge flow of the buffer cabinet, affecting the flow stability of the subsequent process and the process quality.

[0047] It can be understood that the cloth track 120 is installed on the tobacco storage cabinet 300, the cloth vehicle 110 travels on the cloth track 120, and the cloth vehicle 110 spreads tobacco leaves into the tobacco storage cabinet 300 through the upper opening of the tobacco storage cabinet 300; generally, the cloth track 120 is arranged along the length direction of the tobacco storage cabinet 300 (direction a in the figure), so the cloth vehicle 110 travels along the length direction of the tobacco storage cabinet 300 for spreading materials. The cloth vehicle 110 includes a vehicle body, a driving motor, rollers and a conveyor belt 111. The rollers are rotatably arranged on the vehicle body, the conveyor belt 111 is wound around the rollers, and the driving motor is arranged on the vehicle body and the output shaft of the driving motor is connected to the rollers; the driving motor controls the rotation of the rollers to drive the conveyor belt 111 to transmit, and the tobacco leaves on the conveyor belt 111 fall into the tobacco storage cabinet 300 with the movement of the conveyor belt 111. For the convenience of description, along the length direction of the tobacco storage cabinet 300, the tobacco storage cabinet 300 is divided into zone one, zone two and zone three. The cloth vehicle 110 travels along the length direction of the tobacco storage cabinet 300 and fills the tobacco leaves into zone one, zone two and zone three in sequence; the detection assembly 200 is installed on the vehicle body of the cloth vehicle 110. During the operation of the cloth vehicle 110, the detection assembly 200 can move along with the cloth vehicle 110 while detecting the conditions of zone one, zone two and zone three respectively to determine the sunken areas of the tobacco leaf material 400 inside the tobacco storage cabinet 300, and the cloth vehicle 110 fills the sunken areas to improve the flatness of the tobacco leaf material 400. For example, the detection assembly 200 is an ultrasonic sensor. The ultrasonic sensor passes through zone one, zone two and zone three along with the cloth vehicle 110, and respectively detects the distances between the ultrasonic sensor and the tobacco leaf material 400 in zone one, the tobacco leaf material 400 in zone two and the tobacco leaf material 400 in zone three. If the distance between the tobacco leaf material 400 in zone two and the ultrasonic sensor is the largest, the cloth vehicle 110 fills zone two, thereby increasing the height of the tobacco leaf material 400 in zone two, and further adjusting the flatness of the tobacco leaf material 400 inside the storage cabinet. Of course, during the actual detection process, the tobacco storage cabinet 300 can be subdivided into more regions according to requirements and the accuracy of the detection assembly 200, and the cloth vehicle 110 fills the regions with larger depressions, thereby adjusting the flatness of the tobacco leaf material 400 inside the tobacco storage cabinet 300.

[0048] In one embodiment, the flatness adjustment system for a tobacco storage cabinet further includes a moving mechanism (not shown in the figure). The moving mechanism is adapted to drive the detection component 200 to move above the tobacco storage cabinet 300. The position of the detection component 200 is adjusted by the moving mechanism, so that the detection component 200 can be independent of the cloth truck 110, which is beneficial to the synchronous progress of the cloth work and the detection work. The cloth truck 110 moves back and forth on the tobacco storage cabinet 300 to distribute the cloth. The detection component 200 can follow behind the cloth truck 110 to detect the tobacco material 400 in the tobacco storage cabinet 300 after the cloth is distributed. If a depression in a certain area of the tobacco material 400 is found, a signal can be transmitted to the cloth truck 110. When the cloth truck 110 moves to the depression, the residence time of the cloth truck 110 can be increased or the flow rate of the cloth truck 110 per unit time can be increased to increase the tobacco filling amount in this area, so as to fill the depression. The setting of the moving mechanism is beneficial to synchronously set the detection component 200 and the cloth truck 110, and increases the flexibility of the detection work.

[0049] In one embodiment, the moving mechanism includes a support frame, a first moving component and a second moving component; the support frame is fixed to the cloth track 120 or the tobacco storage cabinet 300, the second moving component is installed on the support frame, the first moving component is installed on the second moving component, and the second moving component is adapted to drive the first moving component to move in the width direction of the tobacco storage cabinet 300; the detection component 200 is installed on the first moving component, and the first moving component is adapted to drive the detection component 200 to move in the length direction of the tobacco storage cabinet 300. By using the first moving component and the second moving component, the detection component 200 can be driven to move in the length direction and the width direction of the tobacco storage cabinet 300. The detection component 200 has a high degree of freedom of movement, which is beneficial to the detection component 200 to detect different positions of the tobacco storage cabinet 300, and thus improves the flatness of the tobacco material 400.

[0050] Generally, the support frame is fixed on the fabric track 120. It can be understood that the support frame can be located at the end of the tobacco storage cabinet 300. The second moving component includes a second guide rail, a second motor, second rollers and a second transmission belt. The second transmission belt is wound around the second rollers. The second motor is used to drive the second rollers to rotate, thereby driving the second transmission belt to drive. The first moving component is slidably arranged on the second guide rail. The second guide rail is arranged along the width direction of the tobacco storage cabinet 300. The second guide rail plays a guiding role for the first moving component. The second transmission belt is used to drive the first moving component to move on the second guide rail. There are two second guide rails, which are respectively arranged at both ends of the tobacco storage cabinet 300 to facilitate the support of the first moving component. The first moving component includes a first guide rail, a first motor, first rollers and a first transmission belt. One end of the first guide rail is connected to one of the second guide rails, and the other end is connected to the other second guide rail. And the first guide rail rolls with the second transmission belt, which facilitates the second transmission belt to drive the first guide rail to slide on the second guide rail. The first transmission belt is wound around the first rollers. The first motor is used to drive the first rollers to rotate, thereby driving the first transmission belt to drive. The detection component 200 is slidably arranged on the first guide rail. The first guide rail is arranged along the length direction of the tobacco storage cabinet 300. The first guide rail plays a guiding role for the first moving component. The first transmission belt is used to drive the detection component 200 to move. The detection component 200 may include a support plate. The support plate is slidably arranged on the first guide rail. The electronic components (such as the laser emitter 210, the laser receiver 220, etc.) of the detection component 200 can be fixed on the support plate. The support plate plays a fixing role to keep the laser emitter 210 and the laser receiver 220 moving synchronously. It should be noted that the length of the second guide rail is greater than the width of the rolling belt 111 of the fabric vehicle 110, so that the first moving component can move to one side of the rolling belt 111 to prevent the detection component 200 from affecting the operation of the fabric vehicle 110.

[0051] In one embodiment, at least two detection components 200 are provided. The two detection components 200 are installed on the fabric track 120 and each detection component 200 is arranged along the length direction of the fabric track 120.

[0052] A plurality of detection components 200 are provided, and the plurality of detection components 200 are distributed on the fabric track 120. The detection components 200 can be arranged at the lower end of the fabric track 120 to avoid affecting the operation of the fabric truck 110. According to past fabric experience, the detection components 200 can be arranged at positions where uneven surfaces are likely to form (such as in the tobacco storage cabinet 300) to adjust the flatness of the tobacco material 400 specifically. Of course, in other embodiments, the embodiment of the present invention can also include a rotating mechanism. The rotating mechanism can include a motor and a rotating shaft. The motor is fixed on the fabric track 120, the driving shaft of the motor is connected to the rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft is connected to the detection component 200. The motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate, and then drives the detection component 200 to change different detection angles, so as to increase the area of the tobacco material 400 that a single detection component 200 can detect. It can be understood that the rotating shaft can rotate along the length direction of the tobacco storage cabinet 300. By providing the rotating mechanism, when the whole of the tobacco material 400 inside the tobacco storage cabinet 300 is detected, the installation quantity of the detection components 200 can be reduced, and the cost can be reduced.

[0053] In one embodiment, the flatness adjustment system for the tobacco storage cabinet further includes a distance measurement component 500. The distance measurement component 500 is arranged at at least one end of the tobacco storage cabinet 300, and the distance measurement component 500 is suitable for measuring the distance between the fabric truck 110 and the end of the tobacco storage cabinet 300.

[0054] It can be understood that the distance measurement component 500 can measure the distance between the fabric truck 110 and the end of the tobacco storage cabinet 300. When the fabric truck 110 reaches a first set distance from the end of the tobacco storage cabinet 300, the fabric truck 110 moves in the reverse direction and approaches the distance measurement component 500; when the fabric truck 110 reaches a second set distance from the end of the tobacco storage cabinet 300, the fabric truck 110 moves in the reverse direction and moves away from the distance measurement component 500. It should be noted that the first set distance is greater than the second set distance.

[0055] The distance measurement component 500 can be a distance sensor, and the distance sensor can adopt an ultrasonic sensor, an infrared sensor, etc. By providing the distance measurement component 500, it is not necessary to install parts such as limit switches to ensure that the fabric truck 110 changes direction in time and ensure the progress of the fabric work. Using the distance sensor can provide real-time distance measurement results. While ensuring that the fabric truck 110 changes direction in time, it can also timely understand the traveling position of the fabric truck 110 and realize the monitoring of the work of the fabric truck 110.

[0056] In one embodiment, the flatness adjustment system for the tobacco storage cabinet further includes a controller. The controller is configured to determine the sunken areas of the cut tobacco material 400 inside the tobacco storage cabinet 300 based on the flatness of the cut tobacco material 400 inside the tobacco storage cabinet 300 obtained by the detection component 200, and control the cloth vehicle 110 to fill the sunken areas of the cut tobacco material 400 inside the tobacco storage cabinet 300.

[0057] It can be understood that the detection component 200 obtains the flatness of the cut tobacco material 400 inside the tobacco storage cabinet 300. Based on the data obtained by the detection component 200, the controller judges the sunken areas of the cut tobacco material 400 and controls the cloth vehicle 110 to fill these sunken areas, thereby realizing the adjustment of the flatness of the cut tobacco material 400 inside the tobacco storage cabinet 300.

[0058] The detection component 200 can determine the sunken areas of the cut tobacco material 400 by detecting the distances between different positions of the detection component 200 and the cut tobacco material 400, or by obtaining an image of the cut tobacco material 400 to establish a three-dimensional image of the cut tobacco material 400. Then, the cloth vehicle 110 fills the sunken areas to make up for the problem of uneven cloth feeding by the cloth vehicle 110. The detection work of the detection component 200 can be carried out simultaneously with the cloth feeding work of the cloth vehicle 110 for timely adjustment.

[0059] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. However, such modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
