The embodiments are only used to explain the present invention and do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] according to Figure 1 、 2 , 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, this embodiment proposes a cigarette posture correction and shaping device, including a first-level detection bias mechanism 1, a second-level detection mechanism 2, and a third-level correction mechanism 3 arranged on a logistics belt line. The first-level detection bias mechanism 1 includes a first support plate 4, a first jet nozzle 5, and a first mounting plate 6. The first support plate 4 is provided with two groups, and the first mounting plate 6 is provided above the two groups of the first support plates 4. The inner end of the first support plate 4 at the front end is provided with a group of the first jet nozzle 5, and the inner end of the first support plate 4 at the rear end is provided with two groups of the first jet nozzle 5. A fiber optic sensor mounting plate 7 is provided on the left side of the first mounting plate 6, and a fiber optic sensor is provided on the fiber optic sensor mounting plate 7. A gas storage tank 8 and a first fiber optic amplifier 9 are provided above the first mounting plate 6;

[0028] The secondary detection mechanism 2 includes a second support plate 10 and a second mounting plate 11, the second mounting plate 11 is arranged above the second support plate 10, and a second optical fiber amplifier 12 is provided above the second mounting plate 11. The tertiary correction mechanism 3 includes a third support plate 13 and a second jet nozzle 14, and the second jet nozzle 14 is provided on the third support plate 13. The gas tank is used to supply gas to the first jet nozzle 5 and the second jet nozzle 14, and a pressure regulating valve 28 is provided on the gas tank 8. During use, the optical fiber sensor at the front end of the first-level detection bias mechanism 1 is used to effectively read the position data of the vertical cigarettes passed by the cigarette strips, which is used as the key parameter for identifying the vertical cigarettes. The airflow blown out by the first jet nozzles 5 on both sides (based on objects of the same mass, under the force of the same air pressure jet, when the distance of the blown objects is not equal, the distance is inversely proportional to the force) blows the vertical cigarettes to the opposite side of the logistics belt line, so that the cigarette strips are offset and parallel to the guide rail of the running line. In order to effectively avoid the situation where there are many vertical cigarettes during the operation of the line, when the density of vertical cigarettes is high, the second-level detection mechanism 2 reads the number of vertical cigarettes detected by the optical fiber sensor. Under the premise of the running speed and position of the line, the third-level correction mechanism 3 blows the vertical cigarettes into an angle of about 90 degrees through the second jet nozzle 14, which is conducive to the subsequent reading of the QR code of the cigarette strips.

[0029] The rear output end of the gas tank 8 is connected to the two groups of the first jet nozzles 5 at the rear end via a first regulating member, and the front output end of the gas tank 8 is connected to the first group of the first jet nozzles 5 and the second jet nozzle 14 at the front end via a second regulating member. The first regulating member includes a first fluid solenoid valve 17, a first three-way valve 18, and a first throttle valve 19. The rear output end of the gas tank 8 is connected to the first fluid solenoid valve 17, and the output end of the first fluid solenoid valve 17 is connected to the first three-way valve 18. Both sides of the output end of the first three-way valve 18 are connected to the first throttle valve 19, and the output ends of the two groups of the first throttle valve 19 are respectively connected to the two groups of the first jet nozzles 5 at the rear end via connectors. The second regulating member includes a second fluid solenoid valve 21, a second throttle valve 22, and a second three-way valve 20. The front output end of the gas storage tank 8 is connected to the second three-way valve 20, and both sides of the second three-way valve 20 are connected to the second fluid solenoid valve 21. The output ends of the left and right second fluid solenoid valves 21 are both connected to second throttle valves 22. The left second throttle valve 22 is connected to a set of the first jet nozzles 5 at the front end, and the right second throttle valve 22 is connected to the second jet nozzle 14 via a conduit and an external wire connector 25.

The control end of the first fiber optic amplifier 9 is electrically connected to the first fluid solenoid valve 17 and the second fluid solenoid valve 21 on the left, and the control end of the second fiber optic amplifier 12 is electrically connected to the second fluid solenoid valve 21 on the right. During use, the optical fiber sensor at the front end of the first-level detection bias mechanism 1 effectively reads the vertical cigarette position data of the cigarette carton, which is used as the key parameter for identifying the vertical cigarette. The first optical fiber amplifier 9 receives the signal and transmits a large signal, and activates the first fluid solenoid valve 17 and the second fluid solenoid valve 21 on the left side, as well as the first throttle valve 19 and the second throttle valve 22 on the left side through the single-chip module, to start the airflow blown out of the first jet nozzles 5 on both sides (based on the same mass, under the same pressure jet force, when the distance between the blown objects is different, the distance is inversely proportional to the force). The vertical cigarettes are blown to the opposite side of the logistics belt line with air flow, so that the cigarette strips are offset and parallel to the guide rail of the running line. In order to effectively avoid the situation where there are a large number of vertical cigarettes during the operation of the line, when the density of vertical cigarettes is large, the second optical fiber amplifier 12 in the secondary detection mechanism 2 reads the number of vertical cigarettes detected by the optical fiber sensor. Under the premise of the running speed and position of the line, the second fluid solenoid valve 21 on the right and the second throttle valve 22 on the right are started, and the third-level correction mechanism 3 blows the vertical cigarettes into an angle of about 90 degrees through the second jet nozzle 14, which is conducive to the subsequent reading of the QR code of the cigarette strips.

The gas tank is used to supply gas to the first jet nozzle 5 and the second jet nozzle 14, and a pressure regulating valve 28 is provided on the gas tank 8. During use, the optical fiber sensor at the front end of the first-level detection bias mechanism 1 is used to effectively read the position data of the vertical cigarettes passed by the cigarette strips, which is used as the key parameter for identifying the vertical cigarettes. The airflow blown out by the first jet nozzles 5 on both sides (based on objects of the same mass, under the force of the same air pressure jet, when the distance of the blown objects is not equal, the distance is inversely proportional to the force) blows the vertical cigarettes to the opposite side of the logistics belt line, so that the cigarette strips are offset and parallel to the guide rail of the running line. In order to effectively avoid the situation where there are many vertical cigarettes during the operation of the line, when the density of vertical cigarettes is high, the second-level detection mechanism 2 reads the number of vertical cigarettes detected by the optical fiber sensor. Under the premise of the running speed and position of the line, the third-level correction mechanism 3 blows the vertical cigarettes into an angle of about 90 degrees through the second jet nozzle 14, which is conducive to the subsequent reading of the QR code of the cigarette strips.

[0033] A first protective cover 15 is provided on the first mounting plate 6 to protect the structure installed on the first mounting plate 6.

The rail installation function facilitates adjustment of the installation position of the fiber amplifier and facilitates disassembly and maintenance.

[0035] The cigarette posture correction and shaping equipment uses the optical fiber sensor at the front end of the first-level detection bias mechanism 1 to effectively read the vertical cigarette position data of the cigarette as the key parameter for identifying the vertical cigarette, and blows the vertical cigarette to the opposite side of the logistics belt line with the airflow (based on the same mass objects, under the same air pressure injection force, the distance between the blown objects is not equal, the distance is inversely proportional to the force), so that the cigarette is offset and parallel to the running line guide rail, in order to effectively avoid the situation where there are many vertical cigarettes during the operation of the line. Under the condition that the density of vertical cigarettes is large, the secondary detection mechanism 2 reads the number of vertical cigarettes detected by the optical fiber sensor. Under the premise of the linear running speed and position, the tertiary correction mechanism 3 blows the vertical cigarettes into an angle of about 90 degrees through the second jet nozzle 14, which is conducive to the reading of the subsequent QR code of the cigarette strips. In summary, the smoke posture correction is carried out by air blowing, and the compressed gas in the gas tank 8 is used as the power source. There will be no damage or scratches on the appearance of the product, no pollutant emissions, and no mechanical transmission parts in the overall equipment. For the equipment, zero wear is achieved.
