[0023] The multifunctional cigarette box filling and sealing system includes a No. 2 elevator 2. A turnover box cache rack 1 is provided on one side of the No. 2 elevator 2. Multiple layers of evenly distributed cache bottom racks are provided between the inner walls on both sides of the turnover box cache rack 1. Multiple full box transfer machines 13 are installed on the outside of each cache bottom rack, and each full box transfer machine 13 moves along the slide bottom rack under power. A layer of defective temporary storage rack 20 is provided between the inner walls on both sides of the bottom end of the turnover box cache rack 1. Multiple empty box transfer machines 18 are installed on the outside of the defective temporary storage rack 20. A No. 3 elevator 8 is connected to the side of the turnover box cache rack 1 facing away from the No. 2 elevator 2. A transition rack 3 is provided on one side of the No. 2 elevator 2. A cigarette stack 4 is connected to the side of the transition rack 3 facing away from the No. 2 elevator 2. A No. 1 elevator 5 is provided on one side of the cigarette stack 4. The side of the No. 1 elevator 5 facing away from the cigarette stack 4 is adapted to the corresponding side of the turnover box buffer rack 1. A cigarette conveyor line 6 is provided on the side of the cigarette stack 4 facing away from the transition rack 3. A packing machine 7 is provided on the side of the cigarette conveyor line 6 facing away from the transition rack 3. A group of appearance detection devices 19 are provided on the top of each side of the cigarette conveyor line 6. In this embodiment, the packing machine 7 mainly includes a cigarette pushing device, an opening and closing lower cigarette channel, a smoke exhaust device, a frame, etc. The packing speed of each lane of the packing machine 7 is about 80 cigarettes per minute, and it is used to transport cigarettes. A sensor is installed in front of the cigarette pushing device, and a clamping device is provided. When the sensor detects that a cigarette has passed, the clamping device is activated to isolate the cigarettes that are subsequently conveyed. When the sensor at the end of the cigarette pusher detects that the cigarette strips are in place, the cigarette pusher is activated to push the cigarette strips into the cigarette lowering channel. The cigarette strips in the cigarette lowering channel slowly enter the opening and closing cigarette lowering channel under the cushioning of the air cushion and enter the cigarette strip conveyor line 6 through the smoke exhaust device. In this embodiment, the cigarette strip conveyor line 6 is composed of four layers of belt conveyors, four sets of cigarette transferring and stacking mechanisms, one set of transition racks 3 and eight sets of transfer mechanisms. The belt conveyor line is arranged in four layers, and each layer is divided into several sections of belt lines, and each section of belt line has a separate power source. The front end of the belt line extends into the frame of the packing machine 7 to receive the cigarette strips transported from the packing machine 7. The belt conveyor line is provided with side guide strips, and the cigarette pushing and stacking mechanisms are arranged at the end of the belt conveyor line. When the cigarette strips at the end of the belt line accumulate to five, the cigarette pushing mechanism on the belt line pushes them into the cigarette stacking container. The cigarette stacking container sinks once with each push. When the stacking cigarette container is full of 25 cigarettes, the belt line's cigarette pushing mechanism is activated to push these 25 cigarettes into the empty cigarette turnover box in the middle of the transition rack 3 at once. Corresponding to the four-layer belt conveyor line, the transition rack 3 is also divided into four layers, each layer is a roller conveyor line, and one side of each layer of the transition rack 3 is equipped with an empty turnover box. The empty turnover box is conveyed to the middle and fixed by rollers, so that the empty turnover box corresponds to the cigarette pushing and stacking mechanism. When the middle turnover box is full, the transition rack 3 continues to convey the cigarettes to the left and place them on the transfer machine. The transfer machine is installed on both sides of the transition rack 3 and has independent power. When in use, its lifting mechanism lifts its belt conveyor part to a height exceeding the top surface of the roller.When not in use, the belt conveyor part is located below the top surface of the roller and does not affect the normal operation of the roller. The transfer machines at other locations have the same function. Two sets of transfer machines are installed on each layer of the transition rack 3, one side is used to receive the empty turnover boxes from the No. 1 elevator 5, and the other side is used to transfer the full turnover boxes to the No. 2 elevator 2. In this embodiment, the turnover box cache rack 1 is provided with a three-layer cache chassis, and the bottom defective temporary storage rack 20 is used to transfer empty turnover boxes and temporarily store full turnover boxes with poor scanning codes. An independent roller conveyor line is set on each layer, which is driven by a multi-V belt and has the dual functions of caching and conveying. Under normal circumstances, the caching capacity of the turnover box cache rack 1 is 25 packs / box times 20 boxes times three layers, which is 1,500 cigarettes.

[0024] On the side of elevator No. 3 facing away from the crate buffer 1, a barcode scanning and inspection channel 16 is installed. A case turning machine 10 is installed at one end of this channel. A carton labeling machine 14 is installed at the end of the carton labeling machine 14 facing away from the case turning machine 10. A carton stacking machine 12 is installed at the end of the carton labeling machine 14 facing away from the case turning machine 10. In this embodiment, the barcode scanning and inspection channel 16 is attached to the full case outbound conveyor line and the empty case recycling line. The full case outbound conveyor line primarily transports full crates from the cache to the cigarette pushing mechanism and pushes the cartons inside the crates into cartons. The empty case recycling line primarily transports empty crates, after the cartons have been pushed out, to the bottom layer of the crate buffer 1 and the transition rack 3. It primarily comprises the following mechanisms: a full case transferor 13, which receives full crates from elevator No. 3 and transfers them to the next process. The box pushing mechanism primarily utilizes pneumatics, switching the crates from vertical transport to horizontal transport. The barcode scanning detection channel 16 uses a conical roller with a guide rib and can be equipped with a barcode scanner. The cigarette pushing mechanism is driven by a cylinder, and the box inlet is provided with a conical guide port. If the barcode scanning is normal, the cigarette pushing operation is performed, the conical guide port is inserted into the packaging carton mouth and expands outward, and the cylinder drives the cigarette pushing plate to push 25 cigarettes into the packaging carton at the same time; if the barcode scanning finds a missing code, the cigarette pushing mechanism will not operate, and the full turnover box with missing codes will pass through the cigarette pushing mechanism and enter the empty box transfer machine 18. The transfer machine transfers the empty turnover box after pushing the cigarettes and the full turnover box with poor barcode scanning to the No. 4 elevator 11, thereby realizing the recycling of the turnover box. A carton opener 9 is installed on the end of the packing and turning machine 10 facing away from the carton sealing machine 15, and a No. 4 elevator 11 is installed on one side of the carton sealing machine 15. One side of the No. 4 elevator 11 is adapted to the turnover box buffer rack 1. In addition, a carton opening and sealing machine conveyor line is set up, which is mainly used to pack cigarette strips into cartons and seal and label them to meet the requirements of qualified whole-box warehousing. It includes a carton opening machine 9, a carton turning machine 10, a carton aggregation machine 12, a carton labeling machine 14, a carton sealing machine 15, etc. The carton opening machine 9 is used to unfold the carton and close the bottom, while the opened carton is waiting at the empty box waiting position. The carton turning machine 10 makes the opening of the carton face the cigarette pushing mechanism. When the cigarette strip is pushed into the carton, the turning mechanism is started to turn the carton opening upward, and then it is conveyed to the carton sealing waiting position. If there is no carton in the carton sealing machine, it is directly conveyed to the carton sealing machine 15. The carton sealing machine 15 seals the carton opening and conveys it to the carton labeling machine 14. The carton aggregation machine 12 includes a plane diverter and a converging elevator. The labeled cartons enter the plane diverter. If the incoming cartons are poorly packaged or poorly labeled, they are rejected through the bad rejection port and handled manually. The plane reversing machine rotates the plane of the good carton 90 degrees and reverses it. After the carton is sealed, the cigarettes are merged into the main conveyor line for storage. The merging elevator adjusts the cigarettes coming out of the conveyor line to the appropriate height for merging into the main conveyor line.

[0025] Elevator No. 1 5, elevator No. 2 2, elevator No. 3 8 and elevator No. 4 11 all include a bracket 24, the bottom end of each bracket 24 is fixedly connected to a base 23, a power roller tray 22 is installed between the inner walls of each bracket 24, and one side of each bracket 24 is fixedly connected to a lifting motor 21, and each lifting motor 21 drives the corresponding power roller tray 22 to rise and fall.
