A first feature being "below," "below," and "below" a second feature may include the first feature being directly below or obliquely below the second feature, or may simply mean that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.

[0028] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "right," and other orientations or positional relationships are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are intended solely for ease of description and simplified operation. They do not indicate or imply that the devices or components referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used solely for descriptive purposes and have no special meaning.

[0029] Under the existing technology, in the process of producing cigarettes, a code of a string of numbers and letters is formed by steel stamping. The above code is the work number. The code is crimped onto the outer shell of the cigarette by steel stamping. Different production times are divided into different shifts, and each shift is formed with a corresponding work number. When entering a new shift, the steel stamp with the previous work number needs to be replaced. However, manual replacement relying on memory is prone to errors. At the same time, workers may make mistakes when taking the steel stamp, resulting in the work number formed by the steel stamp being inconsistent with the currently required work number.

[0030] In order to solve the above problems, Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the utility model provides a steel stamp delivery device, which includes a storage unit 2 and a drawer 201, wherein the drawer 201 is slidably installed in the storage unit 2; the locking member 206 is detachably connected to the drawer 201, and the steel stamp is placed in the drawer 201, the locking member 206 is electrically connected to the controller, and the current work number and the past work number are stored in the controller, and the controller can identify the replacement information, and a take-out button 205 and a storage button 204 are provided on the storage unit 2, and the storage unit 2 is electrically connected to the take-out button 205 and the storage button 204 respectively.

[0031] The controller can compare the difference between the current work number and the past work number. When comparing the past work numbers, the work numbers of the previous shift are usually compared. Usually, there are fewer numbers that need to be replaced between the work numbers of the previous shift and the current shift. When the controller identifies the work number that needs to be replaced, the operator presses the take-out button 205, and the corresponding drawer 201 and the locking component 206 will be unlocked. The operator can take out the number or letter stamp to be replaced and push it back into the drawer 201; then press the take-out button 205 again, and the drawer 201 corresponding to the stamp replaced in the work number of the previous shift will also be unlocked with the locking component 206, and the drawer 201 is pulled open to put the stamp into the drawer 201 and push it back into the drawer 201; finally, the newly taken out stamp is placed on the work number sequence composed of the stamps, thereby realizing the replacement of the stamp. If the worker makes a mistake in memory when taking out the stamp and wants to take the wrong stamp, the corresponding drawer 201 is not unlocked. The worker can be corrected to take the correct stamp and the replaced stamp can be placed in the correct box. The worker's mistake can be corrected through the controller, and the worker can be reminded to take the correct stamp, thereby reducing the probability of errors in the printing process of the work number.

[0032] The storage unit 2 of the present invention has 24 sets of mounting slots. The storage unit 2 is divided into four layers, each layer having six sets of mounting slots. The mounting slots, drawers 201, and locking members 206 correspond to each other. The upper drawer 201 has the numbers 0-9 printed on its grille, while the lower drawer 201 has the twelve letters printed on it, representing the twelve months. The drawers 201 of the present invention have numbers or letters printed on one side of the mounting slot opening, which is directly visible to workers. The drawers 201 have an upwardly recessed groove on their undersides, into which a finger can be inserted to directly pull out the drawers 201, making it easier for workers to operate the drawers 201.

[0033] The locking component 206 of the present invention includes a base 2062, on which two groups of electromagnets 2064 are installed, and a spring 2068 is installed between the electromagnets 2064. The spring 2068 is passed through the guide rod 2065, and a guide plate 2066 is sleeved on the guide rod 2065. The bottom of the guide plate 2066 is connected to the spring 2068, and metal rods 2067 are installed at both ends of the guide plate 2066. The metal rod 2067 is located on the upper side of the electromagnet 2064, and the metal rod 2067 is inserted into the jack 2069 on the lower side of the drawer 201. The controller is electrically connected to the electromagnet 2064.

[0034] When the controller energizes the electromagnet 2064, the electromagnet 2064 is magnetic and can absorb the upper metal rod 2067 downward. Since a guide plate 2066 is installed between the metal rods 2067, the spring 2068 on the lower side of the guide plate 2066 will be compressed, and the guide rod 2065 can limit the reciprocating motion of the spring 2068. At this time, the metal rod 2067 will be disengaged from the socket 2069. If the controller stops energizing, after pushing the drawer 201 back to its original position, the spring 2068 will extend upward, and at the same time drive the guide plate 2066 to move upward. Finally, the metal rod 2067 will be inserted into the socket 2069 again, realizing the locking component 206 to lock the drawer 201 again, preventing the drawer 201 from being pulled out by the worker to take the wrong stamp, thereby reducing the probability of printing work number errors.

[0035] The base 2062 of the present invention is mounted with a cover plate 2063 having a perforation formed therein, into which a metal rod 2067 is inserted. The perforation restricts the direction of movement of the metal rod 2067, allowing the metal rod 2067 to reciprocate along its own axis. This improves the stability and accuracy of the metal rod 2067 during movement, and allows the metal rod 2067 to be accurately inserted into the hole 2069 when the metal rod 2067 rebounds.

[0036] A guide rail 2061 is also installed in the installation groove, and the base 2062 is slidably installed on the guide rail 2061. By setting the guide rail 2061, the position of the base 2062 can be adjusted to adapt to the positions of different jacks 2069, so that the adaptability of the locking component 206 is higher.

[0037] The steel stamp delivery device of the present invention also includes a verification component 3, which includes an operating panel 301. A placement area 302 is formed on the operating panel 301, on which cigarette shells are placed. A bracket 303 is mounted on the operating panel 301, on which a camera 304 is mounted. The camera 304 is placed directly above the placement area 302. A standard light source 305 is also mounted on the bracket 303. The camera 304 is electrically connected to the controller, and the camera 304 can capture the work number on the cigarette shell.

[0038] The cigarette shell with the printed work number is placed on the placement area 302. At this time, the standard light source 305 is turned on and illuminates the work number on the shell on the lower side. The camera 304 takes a picture of the work number. At this time, the camera 304 transmits the recognized work number to the controller. The controller compares the above-photographed work number with the current work number. The controller can remind the worker by means of an alarm. The work number on the cigarette package can be verified twice by the verification component 3 to further avoid errors. At the same time, the drawer 201 also stores a blank steel stamp. The blank steel stamp is pressed onto the work number on the cigarette shell to eliminate the work number, and then the work number can be modified.

[0039] The verification component 3 also includes a display 1. The controller is electrically connected to the display 1. The display 1 can display the work number photographed by the camera 304 and the current work number, so that the worker can check the work number on the display 1 to avoid errors in the work number. In theory, the alphanumeric characters of the photographed work number and the current work number are the same.

[0040] First, the controller can automatically generate the required work number according to different shifts, and compare it with the previous work number to determine the numbers or letters that need to be replaced. When the worker presses the remove button 205, the drawer 201 required for the steel stamp of the current work number will be separated from the metal rod 2067. The worker pulls out the drawer 201 to take out the steel stamp, pushes the drawer 201 back, and the metal rod 2067 continues to lock with the drawer 201. When the worker presses the store button 204, the drawer 201 that does not need the steel stamp of the current work number will be separated from the metal rod 2067. The worker pulls out the drawer 201 and puts the steel stamp required for the previous shift into the drawer 201, and pushes the drawer 201 back. During the production process, each cigarette shell is placed under the camera 304 for photographing. The worker compares the work number of each cigarette shell with the current work number through the display 1. If different, it returns to reprint.

[0041] Obviously, the above-described embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the manner in which the present invention may be implemented. A person skilled in the art would be able to make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. It is not necessary and impossible to provide an exhaustive list of all possible embodiments. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
