Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cigarette machinery and equipment, and more particularly to a positioning device for labeling cigarette boxes. Background Art

[0002] In the cigarette industry, after cigarette cartons are sealed into boxes by the case sealer, a No. 1 engineering code is affixed to a designated location on the cigarette box. This code serves as the cigarette's identification, containing information about the cigarette production process. It facilitates the management and monitoring of cigarette product distribution. Misaligned labeling can render the label information unrecognizable, leading to rejection at the conveyor line's reject station or flow into the next stage, resulting in internal and external customer complaints, impacting production efficiency and reducing customer satisfaction.

[0003] Currently, a Videojet P3400 automatic labeler is used to automatically print and apply the No. 1 engineering code online. The labeling position on the cigarette box is determined by the following parameters: line speed and product sensor distance, which together control the labeling delay. When the labeling position is forward, the product sensor distance is increased or the line speed is decreased to increase the labeling delay, thereby adjusting the labeling position backward. Conversely, the product sensor distance is decreased or the line speed is increased to decrease the labeling delay, thereby adjusting the labeling position forward.

[0004] However, in the actual production process, there will be certain differences in the friction between the cigarette box and the conveyor line, the transmission and processing time of the sensor signal, the movement process of the labeling cylinder, etc. This will result in different degrees of offset in the labeling position on the cigarette box even for the same automatic printing and labeling machine.

[0005] Therefore, how to provide a positioning device for cigarette box labeling has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Utility Model Content
