[0034] Conveying channel, conveying channel includes horizontal conveying channel 2 and vertical conveying channel 1, and horizontal conveying channel 2 and vertical conveying channel 1 are connected, wherein horizontal conveying channel 2 includes multiple detection devices, horizontal servo motor 9 and horizontal servo frequency converter, horizontal servo motor 9 and horizontal servo frequency converter are electrically connected with each other, and vertical conveying channel 1 includes vertical servo motor 10 and vertical servo frequency converter electrically connected with each other.

[0035] Electric control cabinet 5, PLC is arranged in electric control cabinet 5;

[0036] Wherein, the multiple detection devices of horizontal conveying channel 2 are signal connected with PLC, and PLC is electrically connected with horizontal servo frequency converter and vertical servo frequency converter respectively.

[0037] In the embodiment of the utility model, the multiple detection devices of horizontal conveying channel 2 include high material level photoelectric switch 11, middle material level photoelectric switch 13, side material level photoelectric switch 12 and cigarette jam metal sensor 6, wherein high material level photoelectric switch 11, middle material level photoelectric switch 13 and side material level photoelectric switch 12 are arranged at the cigarette inlet of horizontal conveying channel 2, and cigarette jam metal sensor 6 is arranged at the intersection of horizontal conveying channel 2 and vertical conveying channel 1.

[0038] It should be noted that the high part material position photoelectric switch 11 receives the intermittent high level signal to trigger the running signal, indicating that the cigarette input is normal. If the high level signal is not received for more than 6 seconds, it indicates that there is no cigarette input, and the device is stopped to display alarm information. The high part material position photoelectric switch 11 and the middle part material position photoelectric switch 13 simultaneously receive the high level signal for 2 seconds, that is, the cigarette jam signal is immediately triggered, the device is stopped to display alarm information, and the three material position photoelectric switches simultaneously trigger the high level for 3 seconds, indicating that the cigarette jam is serious, which may cause the horizontal conveying channel to be overloaded, and the device is stopped to display alarm information.

[0039] In the embodiment of the utility model, the multiple detection devices of the horizontal conveying channel 2 further include a channel overload metal sensor 7, which is arranged at the intersection of the horizontal conveying channel 2 and the vertical conveying channel 1.

[0040] In the embodiment of the utility model, the multiple detection devices of the horizontal conveying channel 2 further include a bend material level height sensor 8, which is arranged at the intersection of the horizontal conveying channel 2 and the vertical conveying channel 1.

[0041] It should be noted that the end of the horizontal conveying channel 2 is connected to a conveying bend, and the cigarettes accumulate to form a height at the conveying bend. When the height exceeds the set height, the cigarettes are prone to extrusion deformation, and the cigarette jam signal above the cigarettes will trigger, causing the device to stop. There is a bend material level height sensor 8 on the side of the cigarette ignition end, which can output a cigarette height analog signal. The cigarette height analog signal is sent to the PLC, and the PLC processes the signal to control the horizontal servo frequency converter of the horizontal conveying channel 2, and then control the rotating speed of the horizontal servo motor 9, forming accurate horizontal channel conveying speed control. A channel overload metal sensor 7 is arranged above the bend material level height sensor 8. When the height of the cigarettes is too high and extrusion occurs, the device is stopped by the channel overload signal.

[0042] Further, the control of the vertical conveying channel 1 is controlled by the speed of the downstream packaging machine.

[0044] In the embodiment of the utility model, the PLC inside the electric control cabinet 5 is connected with an original machine display screen.

[0045] It should be noted that when the system is powered on, the whole system starts to initialize and prepares to enter the working state. When the system fails or needs to be reset, pressing the reset button can clear the current fault signal, so that the system returns to the initial state, facilitating re-start or debugging. After pressing the start button, the system will enter the manual or automatic working state according to the setting of the manual or automatic selection button. The manual mode allows the operator to directly control the start and stop of the servo motor through the control panel of the electric control cabinet 5, while the automatic mode automatically runs according to the preset program and the signals of multiple photoelectric switches and multiple sensors. The signals of the channel overload metal sensor 7, the curved channel material height sensor 8, the side material height photoelectric switch 12, the middle material height photoelectric switch 13, the high material height photoelectric switch 11, the packaging machine speed, the cigarette blockage metal sensor 6, etc. as input signals, so that the input signals enter the electric control cabinet 5, wherein the packaging machine speed is one of the input signals, and the speed of the packaging machine determines the speed of the cigarette conveying, ensuring that the cigarettes can be conveyed to the packaging machine on time and in quantity. The input signals are processed by the PLC in the electric control cabinet 5, and if a fault occurs according to the program setting, the PLC sends a fault signal to the original machine display screen and simultaneously cuts off the control signal of the servo frequency converter, so that the servo motor no longer acts. If the logic of the input signal is normal, the servo motor is controlled according to the program setting. The original machine display screen, the vertical servo motor 10 and the horizontal servo motor 9 are output peripherals of the electric control cabinet 5. The intelligent cigarette conveying channel system realizes the automation and intelligence of the cigarette conveying process by integrating various sensors and automatic control technology, can monitor and respond to various fault signals in real time, ensures the continuity and stability of cigarette conveying, and improves the production efficiency and product quality.

[0046] In the embodiment of the utility model, the turning part where the horizontal conveying channel 2 and the vertical conveying channel 1 meet is treated with chamfering. The chamfering treatment reduces the friction and resistance of cigarettes in the turning process, so that the cigarettes can pass through the turning part more smoothly, thereby improving the conveying efficiency.

[0047] In the embodiment of the utility model, the vertical conveying channel 1 is configured as a curve channel structure that is wide at the top and bottom and narrow in the middle. The design of being wide at the top and bottom and narrow in the middle makes the arrangement of cigarettes in the channel more compact, improves the conveying density and efficiency, and the curve channel structure helps to reduce the impact force of cigarettes, so that the cigarettes can move more stably, reducing the risk of conveying interruption and cigarette damage caused by collision.

[0048] The utility model discloses good solution high -end cigarette's input output problem of special-shaped package, can realize two place control, simplify operation step, reduce operation man -hour, flexible and convenient, with automatic and manual function, automatic function makes system according to cigarette height and downstream packaging speed and carries out speed regulation, and conveying is smooth, manual button can shield detection signal in conveying channel, will not stop machine, adopt multiple low -cost photoelectric switch and carry out signal combination, and detection system is more intelligent, and better guarantee product quality and equipment safety.
