Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of cigarette packaging equipment, specifically to a multi-degree-of-freedom adjustable bracket for a cigarette pack-linked QR code camera. Background Technology

[0002] Tobacco industrial enterprises are actively promoting the deep integration of the tobacco industry with information technology. To address the problems of long distribution chains, difficulties in connecting with consumers, high investment, low returns, and resource waste, tobacco industrial enterprises have implemented a project management strategy linked to "box conditions": IoT solutions are used in production and finished product stages, integrated with supplier internet solutions through material QR codes. "One pack, one code," "one carton, one code," "one carton, one order" and "carton-order linkage" utilize pack, carton, carton, and retail linkage methods to tightly link each pack of cigarettes at the consumption stage with batch traceability management at the production stage. QR codes allow for querying key lifecycle information of cigarette raw materials, production, distribution, and sales rights, achieving deep quality traceability.

[0003] The FOCKE-FX779 packaging machine is a highly efficient tobacco packaging equipment in the tobacco industry. Its cigarette packs are transported in two channels: an inner channel and an outer channel. The cigarette pack association process is as follows: when the equipment is running, five double-layer cigarette packs (ten packs in total, i.e., one carton of cigarettes) are released rhythmically into the inner and outer channels to enter the next process. After each five double-layer cigarette packs are pushed out, a camera scans a QR code and associates it with the cigarette packs when the next five double-layer cigarette packs are about to be transported. Cameras and brackets are set at corresponding positions in the inner and outer channels.

[0004] Due to the limitations of the equipment structure, the cigarette packs are located below the conveyor belt, and there are many components around them that cause obstruction. Especially at the inner cigarette pack scanning point, scanning can only be done through a small window between the transfer table and the lower guide plate of the folding entrance. This means that the camera needs to be adjusted to a very precise angle when scanning the QR code on the cigarette pack in order to avoid the obstruction of various components.

[0005] The original cigarette pack QR code-linking camera, due to defects in its bracket structure and fastening method, although possessing a certain degree of adjustment, lacked precision and was not fully locked after adjustment. This made it easy for operators and maintenance personnel to touch the camera and bracket during operation and maintenance, causing them to shift. Re-adjusting the camera and bracket and locking them in place required multiple attempts, which was time-consuming and significantly impacted equipment production efficiency. Furthermore, cigarette packs that failed to scan and link the code were discarded, resulting in substantial material waste. Utility Model Content

[0006] In response to the work requirements and existing problems in the aforementioned background technology, the inventors have considered and innovated in order to provide a multi-degree-of-freedom adjustable bracket for a cigarette bar-linked QR code camera. This bracket allows for flexible adjustment of the cigarette bar-linked QR code camera in three-dimensional space, solving the problem of QR code scanning difficulties caused by the internal space limitations of the packaging machine and component obstruction.

[0007] To solve the above problems and achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A multi-degree-of-freedom adjustable bracket for a cigarette bar-linked QR code camera, comprising:

[0009] Mounting base (1), the mounting base (1) is composed of a rectangular plate and a connecting post, and the rectangular plate and the connecting post each have at least two screw holes;

[0010] The first connecting rod (2) is detachably connected to the connecting post of the mounting base (1) by bolts;

[0011] The second connecting rod (3) is detachably connected to the first connecting rod (2) by bolts, and the second connecting rod (3) has a waist-shaped hole;

[0012] The camera base (4) is detachably connected to the second connecting rod (3) by bolts. The camera base (4) is a "C" shaped structure with an opening that matches the sliding table assembly (5) and a slot at the bottom that matches the second connecting rod (3).

[0013] A sliding stage assembly (5) is connected to a camera base (4);

[0014] A rotating table (6) is detachably connected to a sliding table assembly (5) by bolts;

[0015] Camera mounting plate (7), which is detachably connected to the rotating table (6) by bolts, is used to install the cigarette bar associated QR code camera (8).

[0016] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the sliding table assembly (5) includes:

[0017] Sliding shaft (51), there are two sliding shafts (51), which are respectively installed and fixed on the camera base (4) by stop screws (52);

[0018] An adjusting screw (53) is mounted on the camera base (4) via a needle roller bearing (54);

[0019] The sliding table (55) has openings that match the sliding shaft (51) and the adjusting screw (53), and is connected to the sliding shaft (51) and the adjusting screw (53). The sliding table (55) can move on the sliding shaft (51) under the control of the adjusting screw (53). The sliding table (55) has a cylindrical mounting head that matches the rotating table (6).

[0020] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the bottom of the rotating platform (6) has a groove that matches the cylindrical mounting head on the sliding platform (55). The rotating platform (6) is composed of a circular turntable connected to a rotating shaft. The circular turntable has two arc-shaped holes. After the circular turntable rotates, it can be locked and fixed through the arc-shaped holes and bolts.

[0021] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the camera mounting plate (7) is composed of a rectangular plate and an arc plate connected together. The rectangular plate has at least four camera mounting holes, and the arc plate has an arc hole. After the arc plate is rotated, it can be locked and fixed through the arc hole and bolts.

[0022] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0023] The mounting base (1), the first connecting rod (2), and the second connecting rod (3) serve as the foundation of the entire bracket and are connected to the fixed part of the equipment by bolts, providing stable support.

[0024] The camera base (4) is bolted to the second connecting rod (3). The waist-shaped hole on the second connecting rod (3) allows the camera base (4) to be finely adjusted in the horizontal direction, thereby realizing the adjustment of the first degree of freedom of the cigarette bar associated QR code camera (8).

[0025] The sliding table (55) can move on the sliding shaft (51) by adjusting the screw (53) and the needle roller bearing (54), thereby realizing the adjustment of the second degree of freedom of the cigarette bar associated with the QR code camera (8).

[0026] The rotating platform (6) consists of a circular turntable and a rotating shaft. The arc-shaped hole on the turntable allows the turntable to rotate within a certain range and is fixed by bolts. This design makes the left and right rotation angle of the cigarette bar associated QR code camera (8) adjustable, realizing the adjustment of the third degree of freedom of the cigarette bar associated QR code camera (8).

[0027] The camera mounting plate (7) is composed of a rectangular plate and an arc-shaped plate. The rectangular plate has multiple camera mounting holes for fixing the cigarette bar associated QR code camera (8). The arc-shaped holes on the arc-shaped plate allow the camera mounting plate to rotate within a certain angle range and be locked in place by bolts. This design makes the up-and-down rotation angle, i.e., the tilt angle, of the cigarette bar associated QR code camera (8) adjustable, realizing the adjustment of the fourth degree of freedom of the cigarette bar associated QR code camera (8).

[0028] In summary, the structure of this utility model enables flexible adjustment of the cigarette strip-linked QR code camera (8) in three-dimensional space with multiple degrees of freedom, solving the problem of QR code scanning difficulties caused by the internal space limitations of the packaging machine and component obstruction.
