Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cigarette machinery and equipment, and more specifically, to a cigarette pack seal detection device. Background Technique

[0002] Soft-pack cigarettes refer to cigarettes packaged in soft boxes. In order to seal the aluminum paper at the top of the soft-pack cigarette and fix the internal aluminum paper and cigarette sticks, a piece of wrapping paper needs to be pasted on the top of the soft-pack cigarette, which is commonly known as the seal. The seal is about 5-7 cm long and about 3-4 cm wide, covering the top of the cigarette pack. After the cigarette pack is produced inside the upstream packaging machine, the corresponding seal pasting mechanism pastes the glue-coated seal on the top of the cigarette pack. The cigarette pack with the seal pasted enters the downstream machine and is wrapped with a layer of transparent paper to form a finished cigarette pack.

[0003] In the prior art, the detection of the seal is mainly carried out at the outlet of the upstream packaging machine. Since there is a long distance between the outlet of the upstream packaging machine and the downstream transparent paper packaging machine, the soft-pack cigarette has to pass through a cigarette pack belt channel with a length exceeding 5 meters before entering the downstream packaging machine. During the transportation of this belt, if the seal on the cigarette pack is not pasted firmly enough, it may be rubbed out of position, curled up, or even lost by the belt or track, resulting in product quality defects.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a cigarette pack seal detection device has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently in this field. Content of the Utility Model

[0023] Various exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangements of components and steps, numerical expressions and numerical values set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention.

[0024] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way a limitation on the present utility model and its application or use.

[0025] Technologies, methods, and devices known to those of ordinary skill in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such technologies, methods, and devices should be regarded as part of the specification.

[0026] In all the examples shown and discussed here, any specific values should be construed as merely exemplary and not as a limitation. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0027] As Figures 1 to 2 shown, an embodiment of the present utility model provides a cigarette pack seal detection device, including: a cigarette pack conveying track 1, a cigarette pack arrival triggering optical fiber 2, a detection assembly 3, a controller 4, and a cigarette pack rejection assembly; the cigarette pack arrival triggering optical fiber 2 is arranged at the inlet of the cigarette pack conveying track 1.

[0028] The detection assembly 3 includes a first color mark sensor 31, a second color mark sensor 32, and a third color mark sensor 33. The first color mark sensor 31 is arranged on the side of the cigarette pack conveying track 1, and the second color mark sensor 32 and the third color mark sensor 33 are respectively arranged above and below the cigarette pack conveying track 1, and the first color mark sensor 31, the second color mark sensor 32, and the third color mark sensor 33 are all arranged opposite to the seal 7 of the cigarette pack 6.

[0029] The controller 4 is electrically connected to the cigarette pack arrival triggering optical fiber 2, the first color mark sensor 31, the second color mark sensor 32, the third color mark sensor 33, and the cigarette pack rejection assembly respectively.

[0030] Specifically, the seal 7 is arranged at the end of the cigarette pack 6, and the cigarette pack 6 is horizontally placed in the cigarette pack conveying track 1, and the seal 7 faces the outside of the cigarette pack conveying track 1. Both the cigarette pack arrival triggering optical fiber 2 and the first color mark sensor 31 are arranged outside the cigarette pack conveying track 1.

[0031] During the working process, when the cigarette pack arrival triggering optical fiber 2 detects that there is a cigarette pack 6 at the inlet of the cigarette pack conveying track 1, the cigarette pack arrival triggering optical fiber 2 transmits a signal to the controller 4, and the controller 4 controls the first color mark sensor 31, the second color mark sensor 32, and the third color mark sensor 33 to start, and the first color mark sensor 31, the second color mark sensor 32, and the third color mark sensor 33 sequentially detect the passing cigarette pack 6.

[0032] When the first color mark sensor 31, the second color mark sensor 32 or the third color mark sensor 33 detects that the cigarette pack 6 has no seal 7, the first color mark sensor 31, the second color mark sensor 32 or the third color mark sensor 33 transmits a rejection signal to the controller 4, and the controller 4 controls the cigarette pack rejection component to work, so that the cigarette pack rejection component rejects the defective cigarette pack 6.

[0033] When the first color mark sensor 31, the second color mark sensor 32 or the third color mark sensor 33 detects that the cigarette pack 6 has a seal 7, the first color mark sensor 31, the second color mark sensor 32 and the third color mark sensor 33 do not transmit signals to the controller 4.

[0034] It should be noted that the cigarette pack rejection component of the present utility model adopts existing technologies, as long as it can reject the defective cigarette pack 6 from the cigarette pack conveying track 1, and will not be described here.

[0035] In the present utility model, the cigarette pack in-place trigger optical fiber 2 is arranged at the inlet of the cigarette pack conveying track 1, the first color mark sensor 31 is arranged on the side of the cigarette pack conveying track 1, the second color mark sensor 32 and the third color mark sensor 33 are respectively arranged above and below the cigarette pack conveying track 1, and the first color mark sensor 31, the second color mark sensor 32 and the third color mark sensor 33 are all arranged opposite to the seal 7 of the cigarette pack 6; and the controller 4 is electrically connected to the cigarette pack in-place trigger optical fiber 2, the first color mark sensor 31, the second color mark sensor 32, the third color mark sensor 33 and the cigarette pack rejection component respectively. During the working process, when the cigarette pack in-place trigger optical fiber 2 detects that there is a cigarette pack 6 at the inlet of the cigarette pack conveying track 1, the cigarette pack in-place trigger optical fiber 2 transmits a signal to the controller 4, and the controller 4 controls the first color mark sensor 31, the second color mark sensor 32 and the third color mark sensor 33 to start. When the first color mark sensor 31, the second color mark sensor 32 or the third color mark sensor 33 detects that the cigarette pack 6 has no seal 7, the controller 4 controls the cigarette pack rejection component to reject the defective cigarette pack 6, which can realize the detection of the cigarette pack 6 with seal 7 defects, avoid the occurrence of batch quality problems, and improve the product quality.

[0036] In an embodiment of the cigarette pack seal detection device of the present utility model, as Figure 1 shown, the cigarette pack conveying track 1 includes a first connection channel 11 and a second connection channel 12, the first connection channel 11 and the second connection channel 12 are bent and connected, the cigarette pack in-place trigger optical fiber 2 is arranged at the inlet of the first connection channel 11, the first color mark sensor 31 is arranged at the outlet of the first connection channel 11, and the second color mark sensor 32 and the third color mark sensor 33 are respectively located at both ends of the second connection channel 12.

[0037] Due to the internal space distribution of the packaging machine, to detect the seals 7 of the cigarette packs 6 in three directions, it is necessary to change the transmission direction of the cigarette packs 6. Therefore, in the present utility model, the first connection channel 11 and the second connection channel 12 are bent and connected, and the first color mark sensor 31 is arranged at the outlet of the first connection channel 11, and the second color mark sensor 32 and the third color mark sensor 33 are respectively located at both ends of the second connection channel 12, so that it is possible to comprehensively inspect the seals 7 of the cigarette packs 6 within a limited space.

[0038] In an embodiment of the cigarette pack seal detection device of the present utility model, there are three cigarette pack rejection components, and the three cigarette pack rejection components are respectively arranged corresponding to the first color mark sensor 31, the second color mark sensor 32, and the third color mark sensor 33.

[0039] In the present utility model, by respectively arranging the three cigarette pack rejection components corresponding to the first color mark sensor 31, the second color mark sensor 32, and the third color mark sensor 33, when any one of the first color mark sensor 31, the second color mark sensor 32, and the third color mark sensor 33 detects a cigarette pack 6 with a defective seal 7, the cigarette pack 6 with a defective seal 7 can be quickly rejected, improving the rejection efficiency and avoiding the situation of mis-rejection.

[0040] In an embodiment of the cigarette pack seal detection device of the present utility model, the cigarette pack seal detection device further includes a pushing component 5. The pushing component 5 is arranged at the connection of the first connection channel 11 and the second connection channel 12, and the pushing component 5 is located inside the first connection channel 11 and the second connection channel 12. The pushing component 5 is used to push the cigarette pack 6 from the first connection channel 11 onto the second connection channel 12.

[0041] Since the first connection channel 11 and the second connection channel 12 are bent and connected, when the cigarette pack 6 moves from the first connection channel 11 to the second connection channel 12, it is necessary to apply a force to the cigarette pack 6 through the pushing component 5, so that the cigarette pack 6 can smoothly move into the second connection channel 12 without colliding with the side walls of the first connection channel 11 or the second connection channel 12 due to inertia, resulting in damage to the cigarette pack 6.

[0042] In an embodiment of the cigarette pack seal detection device of the present utility model, as Figure 2 shown, the pushing component 5 includes a rotating shaft 51, a pushing plate 52, a lifting part, and a rotating part. The lifting part is connected to the bottom of the rotating part, the rotating part is connected to the first end of the rotating shaft 51, and the second end of the rotating shaft 51 is connected to the pushing plate 52.

[0043] Specifically, the controller 4 is electrically connected to the lifting part and the rotating part. In the initial stage, the pushing plate 52 is located above the cigarette pack 6.

[0044] When the cigarette packet arrival trigger optical fiber 2 detects the presence of a cigarette packet 6 at the entrance of the cigarette packet conveyor track 1, it transmits a signal to the controller 4, which activates the first color mark sensor 31, the second color mark sensor 32, and the third color mark sensor 33. Furthermore, the controller 4 controls the operation of the lifting unit, which drives the rotating shaft 51 downward until it moves above the cigarette packet conveyor track 1 and to one side of the cigarette packet 6. At this point, the controller 4 controls the operation of the rotating unit, which drives the push plate 52 to rotate, causing it to act on the cigarette packet 6, driving the cigarette packet 6 to move, thereby pushing the cigarette packet 6 from the first connecting channel 11 into the second connecting channel 12.

[0045] It should be noted that the time it takes for the push plate 52 to rotate one circle is equal to the time it takes for the cigarette pack 6 to trigger the optical fiber 2 to move to the position of the push plate 52, thereby enabling the push plate 52 to continuously push the cigarette pack 6 and ensuring that the push plate 52 does not affect the transportation of the cigarette pack 6.

[0046] When the cigarette pack in place trigger optical fiber 2 detects that there is no cigarette pack 6 at the entrance of the cigarette pack conveying track 1, the cigarette pack in place trigger optical fiber 2 transmits a signal to the controller 4. The controller 4 first controls the rotating part to stop working, and then controls the lifting part to work. The lifting part drives the rotating shaft 51 to move upward, and after driving the rotating shaft 51 and the pushing plate 52 to move upward to the initial position, the lifting part stops working.

[0047] The utility model connects the lifting part with the bottom of the rotating part, connects the rotating part with the first end of the rotating shaft 51, and connects the second end of the rotating shaft 51 with the pushing plate 52, so that the pushing plate 52 can stably and quickly push the cigarette pack 6 from the first connecting channel 11 to the second connecting channel 12.

[0048] In one embodiment of the cigarette pack seal detection device of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the pushing plate 52 includes a connecting plate 521 and a toggle plate 522. The first end of the connecting plate 521 is vertically connected to the second end of the rotating shaft 51, and the second end of the connecting plate 521 is vertically connected to the toggle plate 522. The toggle plate 522 is arranged parallel to the rotating shaft 51.

[0049] The utility model connects the first end of the connecting plate 521 vertically to the second end of the rotating shaft 51, and the second end of the connecting plate 521 vertically to the toggle plate 522, and the toggle plate 522 is arranged parallel to the rotating shaft 51, so that the rotating shaft 51 drives the connecting plate 521 to move, and the movement of the connecting plate 521 drives the toggle plate 522 to rotate, and the toggle plate 522 can stably drive the cigarette pack 6 to move.

[0050] In one embodiment of the cigarette pack seal detection device of the present invention, Figure 2As shown, the lifting part includes a first fixed plate 53 and a driving cylinder 54. The first fixed plate 53 is fixed on the cigarette making machine, the driving cylinder 54 is arranged on the first fixed plate 53, and the output shaft of the driving cylinder 54 is connected to the rotating part.

[0051] In this utility model, by fixing the first fixed plate 53 on the cigarette making machine, arranging the driving cylinder 54 on the first fixed plate 53, and connecting the output shaft of the driving cylinder 54 to the rotating part, the stability of the installation of the driving cylinder 54 is ensured, and the automation and working efficiency of the cigarette pack seal detection device of this utility model are effectively improved.

[0052] In an implementation manner of the cigarette pack seal detection device of this utility model, as Figure 2 shown, the rotating part includes a second fixed plate 55 and a driving motor 56.
