Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cigarette bar code scanning, in particular to a cigarette bar code scanning conveying line. Background Art

[0002] The cigarette carton sorting machine is a popular cigarette carton sorting equipment in China. In commercial tobacco distribution centers, cigarette cars of different specifications are cached in the various cigarette carton sorting channels of the cigarette carton sorting machine. The cigarette carton conveyor line is an auxiliary equipment of the cigarette carton sorting machine and is installed at the output port of the sorting channel of the cigarette carton sorting machine. According to different customer needs, cigarette dispensers operate the cigarette carton sorting machine to output cigarette cars of different brands from the various cigarette carton sorting channels. After that, they are transported to the packaging line through the cigarette carton conveyor line for lamination and packaging. In order to facilitate cigarette dispensers to efficiently grasp the outbound information of cigarette cars, the existing technology generally adopts the method of setting up an electronic barcode scanner on the cigarette carton conveyor line. During the transportation process, the electronic barcode scanner reads the QR code on each cigarette carton being transported to obtain the outbound information of the cigarette carton.

[0003] However, during the process of cigarette strips leaving the warehouse, since the QR codes on the cigarette strips are printed on both ends of the cigarette strips, when the cigarette strips are input into the cigarette conveyor line from the various cigarette sorting channels of the cigarette sorting machine, the head end of the cigarette strips will hit the edge baffle of the cigarette conveyor line, forming friction contact with the edge baffle of the cigarette conveyor line. The friction causes the cigarette strips to be tilted after falling on the conveying surface of the cigarette conveyor line. As a result, when the cigarette strips are conveyed through the electronic barcode scanner, the end of the cigarette strips printed with the QR code has an excessively large inclination angle with the scanning direction of the electronic barcode scanner, and cannot be accurately scanned by the electronic barcode scanner. There are scanning failures and missed scans, and the cigarette strips' departure information cannot be accurately obtained. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, a brief introduction will be given below to the drawings required for use in the embodiments. Obviously, the drawings described below are some embodiments of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without paying any creative work.

[0018] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2, an embodiment of the present invention provides a cigarette bar code scanning conveyor line, comprising a main conveying device 10, a cigarette bar conveying posture adjustment device 20, an auxiliary conveying device 30 and a cigarette bar code scanning device 40 arranged on both sides of the auxiliary conveying device 30, which are arranged on one side of the sorting channel output port 51 of the cigarette sorting machine 50. The main conveying device 10 and the auxiliary conveying device 30 are both parallel belt conveyors. The cigarette bar code scanning device 40 is an electronic scanner for scanning the QR code printed on the end of the cigarette bar to obtain the outbound information of the cigarette bar. The main conveying device 10, the cigarette bar conveying posture adjustment device 20 and the auxiliary conveying device 30 are arranged in parallel in a straight line. The input end of the cigarette bar conveying posture adjustment device 20 is directly opposite to the output end of the main conveying device 10, and the input end of the auxiliary conveying device 30 is opposite to the main cigarette bar conveying posture adjustment device The output ends of the entire device 20 are facing each other, and the conveying surfaces of the main conveying device 10, the cigarette conveying posture adjustment device 20, and the auxiliary conveying device 30 are flush with each other. The main conveying device 10 is used to receive the cigarettes output from the output ports 51 of each sorting channel of the cigarette sorting machine 50, and convey the cigarettes to the cigarette conveying posture adjustment device 20, and then the cigarette conveying posture adjustment device 20 conveys the cigarettes to the auxiliary conveying device 30. The cigarette conveying posture adjustment device 20 adjusts the conveying posture of the cigarettes in the process of conveying the cigarettes to the auxiliary conveying device 30, and reduces the inclination angle of the cigarettes when entering the auxiliary conveying device 30, so that the cigarette scanning devices 40 arranged on both sides of the auxiliary conveying device 30 can scan the QR code at the end of the cigarette, accurately obtain the outbound information of the cigarettes, and avoid scanning failure and missed scanning.

[0019] Please see Figures 1 to 3Specifically, the cigarette conveying posture adjustment device 20 includes a first conveyor belt 21 and a second conveyor belt 22, and the first conveyor belt 21 and the second conveyor belt 22 are arranged in parallel at the output end of the main conveying device 10. The first conveyor belt 21 and the second conveyor belt 22 are both parallel belt conveyors. The input ends of the first conveyor belt 21 and the second conveyor belt 22 are respectively opposite to the output end of the main conveying device 10, and the input end of the auxiliary conveying device 30 is opposite to the output ends of the first conveyor belt 21 and the second conveyor belt 22. The conveying surfaces of the first conveyor belt 21 and the second conveyor belt 22 are flush with the conveying surfaces of the main conveying device 10 and the auxiliary conveying device 30, and there is no obstruction between the conveying surfaces of the first conveyor belt 21 and the second conveyor belt 22. The belt 21 is close to the output end of the main conveying device 10 and is away from the side of the cigarette sorting machine 50. The second conveyor belt 22 is close to the output end of the main conveying device 10 and is facing the other side of the cigarette sorting machine 50. A driving motor 23 is respectively provided on the operating shaft of the first conveyor belt 21 and the second conveyor belt 22. The first conveyor belt 21 and the second conveyor belt 22 are driven by the two driving motors 23 to transport cigarettes. The first conveyor belt 21 and the second conveyor belt 22 have the same operating direction. The driving motor 23 is a servo motor with adjustable speed. The conveying speed of the second conveyor belt 22 is lower than the conveying speed of the first conveyor belt 21. The conveying speed of the first conveyor belt 21 is the same as the conveying speed of the main conveying device 10. Due to the speed of the cigarette sorting machine 50 The output direction of each cigarette sorting channel is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the main conveying device 10. The cigarettes are input into the main conveying device 10 horizontally by each cigarette sorting channel. When the cigarettes are input into the main conveying device 10, the head end of the cigarette output will hit the edge baffle 11 opposite to the main conveying device 10 and form friction contact with the edge baffle 11 of the main conveying device 10. The friction causes the head end of the cigarette to fall behind after falling into the conveying surface of the main conveying device 10, and the tail end of the cigarette is toward one end of the cigarette sorting machine 50. Under the conveying action of the main conveying device 10, it will move forward, causing the cigarettes to be conveyed in an inclined posture on the conveying surface of the main conveying device 10. The main conveying device 10 conveys the inclined cigarettes to the first conveyor belt 21 and the second conveyor belt 22. Conveyor belt 22, the tail end of the cigarette will enter the conveying surface of the second conveyor belt 22, and the head end of the cigarette will enter the conveying surface of the first conveyor belt 21. Since the conveying speed of the second conveyor belt 22 is lower than the conveying speed of the first conveyor belt 21, the tail end of the cigarette will gradually fall behind and the head end of the cigarette will gradually move forward during the process of being conveyed on the first conveyor belt 21 and the second conveyor belt 22, so as to reduce the inclination angle of the head and tail ends of the cigarette, and then make the cigarette basically take a horizontal position when entering the auxiliary conveying device 30. In this way, when the cigarette passes through the cigarette scanning device 40 provided on both sides of the auxiliary conveying device 30, the end of the cigarette with the QR code printed on it will face the scanning direction of the electronic scanner, so that the cigarette scanning device 40 can accurately scan it.Avoid scanning failure or missed scans due to excessive tilt angle of the code.

[0020] Please continue to see Figure 2 Furthermore, in order to increase the friction between the conveying surfaces of the first conveyor belt 21 and the second conveyor belt 22 and the outer surface of the cigarette, anti-slip protrusions 24 are provided on the conveying surfaces of the first conveyor belt 21 and the second conveyor belt 22. The anti-slip protrusions 24 are silicone sheets or rubber sheets and are evenly distributed along the conveying surfaces of the first conveyor belt 21 and the second conveyor belt 22.

[0021] Please continue to see Figure 2 Furthermore, the cigarette bar scanning device 40 is in multiple groups and is arranged at intervals along the conveying direction of the auxiliary conveying device 30.

[0022] It should be noted that, in the above embodiment, the speed difference between the first conveyor belt 21 and the second conveyor belt 22 matches the inclination angle of the cigarette strips output on the main conveying device 10, that is, the greater the inclination angle of the cigarette strips on the main conveying device 10, the greater the speed difference between the first conveyor belt 21 and the second conveyor belt 22. During actual use, the staff can gradually adjust the speed difference between the first conveyor belt 21 and the second conveyor belt 22 according to the conveying speed of the main conveying device 10 and the inclination angle of the cigarette strips, and use the speed difference between the first conveyor belt 21 and the second conveyor belt 22 to adjust the conveying posture of the cigarette strips, so as to reduce the inclination angle of the cigarette strips when passing through the cigarette strip scanning device 40 arranged on both sides of the auxiliary conveying device 30, so that the cigarette strip scanning device 40 can accurately scan them.

[0023] The above disclosure is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it is certainly not intended to limit the scope of the rights of the present invention. A person skilled in the art can understand that all or part of the processes of the above embodiment and equivalent changes made in accordance with the claims of the present invention are still within the scope of the present invention.
