[0002] Medium packs of cigarettes are a form of cigarette packaging. Usually, cigarettes come in small packages, generally a regular pack of 20 cigarettes, while medium packs of cigarettes are an intermediate packaging form between small packages and large packages (such as strips). Medium packs of cigarettes may contain several small packages of cigarettes. Their purpose may be to facilitate transportation, storage or meet specific market needs. Medium packs usually have certain characteristics in terms of packaging materials and design to protect cigarettes from damage, and may have brand logos, patterns and other elements on the appearance to promote and distinguish different brands of cigarettes.

[0003] When cigarettes are transported, they are usually inspected manually, and the different specifications of the cigarette packs are classified and then transported separately so that the cigarette packs of different specifications can be transported to different locations. However, manual inspection sometimes leads to errors and omissions, especially when the workers are tired. It is not easy to quickly and accurately capture the information on the cigarette packs, and it is not easy to accurately classify the cigarette packs of different specifications.

[0004] To this end, we propose a cigarette packing machine with visual recognition and classification functions. Utility Model Content

[0009] Furthermore, a secondary roller conveyor frame is fixedly connected to the side of the main roller conveyor frame.

[0010] Furthermore, the transverse conveying assembly includes an electric sprocket chain, which is arranged at the front end of the main roller conveying frame and located at the front end of the auxiliary roller conveying frame.

[0011] Furthermore, the rear end of the electric sprocket chain is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft, and the top end of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to three groups of side thrust plates that are equidistantly arranged.

[0012] Furthermore, the number of the side push plates in each group is two, and the side push plates in each group are symmetrically distributed.

[0013] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. By capturing product images through cameras, information on cigarette packs can be captured faster and more accurately, preventing errors and omissions. Identification and classification tasks can be completed quickly and accurately, greatly improving production efficiency and reducing workers' labor intensity.

[0024] The product image is captured by camera 304 and transmitted to the image processing unit of the host computer. The image processing unit contains one or more high-speed computers, which convert the image into a digital signal and compare it through special software. Finally, according to the comparison results, the longitudinal conveying component 1 and the transverse conveying component 2 work to classify and directionally convey the cigarette packages to the designated subsequent process. Among them, the camera 304, its circuit is connected to the control processor.

[0025] The longitudinal conveying assembly 1 includes a main roller conveying frame 101 , and the front end of the main roller conveying frame 101 is fixedly connected to the bracket 301 .

[0026] The side of the main roller conveyor frame 101 is fixedly connected to the auxiliary roller conveyor frame 102.

[0027] The transverse conveying assembly 2 includes a motorized sprocket chain 201 . The motorized sprocket chain 201 is disposed at the front end of the main roller conveying frame 101 and is located at the front end of the auxiliary roller conveying frame 102 .

[0028] The rear end of the electric sprocket chain 201 is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 203, and the top end of the rotating shaft 203 is fixedly connected to three sets of side push plates 202 arranged at equal distances;

[0029] The cigarette packs are conveyed by the main roller conveyor frame 101 and the auxiliary roller conveyor frame 102. Under normal circumstances, the cigarette packs are conveyed by the main roller conveyor frame 101, which is driven by the servo motor of the main roller conveyor frame 101 through the longitudinally arranged chain, gears and shafts to implement roller transmission, driving the flat cigarette packs to be rhythmically conveyed along the longitudinal direction of the main roller conveyor frame 101; when the camera 304 captures cigarette packs with different specifications, the servo motor of the main roller conveyor frame 101 stops working, and the servo motor of the horizontal conveying component 2 is driven through the horizontally arranged chain, gears, rotating shaft 203 and side push plate 202 to implement transmission, and the flat cigarette packs are conveyed horizontally with a fixed length to the auxiliary roller conveyor frame 102, and are moved and reset horizontally with a fixed stroke amount under the cooperation of the position switches arranged on both sides of the frame, wherein the servo motors are all controlled by the control processor.

[0030] There are two side push plates 202 in each group, and each group of side push plates 202 is symmetrically distributed;

[0031] The two side push plates 202 can be used to push the cigarette packs in a stable transverse direction, ensuring that the cigarette pack shells are pushed to the auxiliary roller conveyor rack 102 for subsequent conveying.

[0032] Specific implementation process: the cigarette packs transported from the front enter the capture visual area, then enter the longitudinal or transverse classification action area, then enter the conveying area, and then enter the flipping area of the next step. First, the cigarette packs are transported by the host computer equipment to the camera 304 in the visual classification component 3. The camera 304 starts working to capture the image of the passing cigarette packs. The captured image will be quickly transmitted to the image processing unit of the host computer. The high-speed computer in the image processing unit converts the image into a digital signal and compares and analyzes it through special software. If the specifications and other features of the cigarette packs meet the normal conveying requirements, the servo motor of the main roller conveyor frame 101 will continue to work, through the longitudinally arranged chain, The gears and shafts implement the transmission of the rollers, driving the flat cigarette packs to be transported rhythmically along the main roller conveyor frame 101 longitudinally. If the camera 304 captures cigarette packs of different specifications, the servo motor of the main roller conveyor frame 101 stops working. At this time, the transverse conveying component 2 starts working, and its servo motor implements transmission through the transversely arranged chains, gears, rotating shafts 203 and side push plates 202, and the flat cigarette packs are transported transversely at a fixed length to the auxiliary roller conveyor frame 102. With the cooperation of the horizontal position switches set on both sides of the frame, the fixed transverse stroke amount is moved and reset, thereby realizing the classified and directional transportation of cigarette packs of different specifications so that they can be transported to the designated subsequent process.
