Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of cigarette monitoring technology, specifically relating to a cigarette paper auxiliary material consumption calculation device. Background Technology

[0002] With the digital transformation of cigarette manufacturing enterprises, digital control of all aspects of production is needed. In the cigarette production stage, accurate calculation of cigarette paper consumption and cigarette production is crucial to optimize the preparation of auxiliary materials and the calculation method for production consumption. Currently, there is no effective and accurate method for calculating cigarette paper and auxiliary material consumption in the cigarette manufacturing field. It can only be calculated based on the approximate number of cigarette paper rolls consumed (each roll is 4000-6000 meters). For example, if production is carried out in three shifts (A, B, and C) per day, and the three shifts use a total of 35 rolls of cigarette paper per day, the auxiliary material planner manually counts the number of rolls of cigarette paper consumed by the unit that day, using this as the basis for calculating the daily auxiliary material consumption. This calculation method cannot effectively calculate the residual auxiliary materials on the cigarette machine. Therefore, the current calculation of cigarette paper consumption has the following shortcomings:

[0003] (1) The existing calculation of cigarette paper auxiliary material consumption mainly relies on the statistics of material planners, which is cumbersome and complicated. It requires statistics and calculation for each unit, which consumes manpower.

[0004] (2) The method for calculating the consumption of cigarette paper auxiliary materials can only roughly count the consumption of cigarette paper auxiliary materials of a unit on a given day. It cannot be accurate to the consumption of each shift, and it cannot be used to calculate the consumption of each shift. This is not conducive to the overall production, quality and consumption.

[0005] (3) The method for calculating the consumption of cigarette paper auxiliary materials can only be used to compile and summarize the auxiliary material consumption table for each unit. It is not possible to view the consumption data, which is not conducive to production material management. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cigarette paper auxiliary material consumption calculation device. By collecting paper breakage detection signals, it can determine whether cigarette paper is in use. By using high-speed pulse sensor signals from the belt pulley, it can determine the cigarette paper conveying length, thereby obtaining cigarette paper consumption data. The calculation can be accurate to the cm unit, thus solving the problem that cigarette paper auxiliary material consumption cannot be accurately calculated and cannot be calculated according to production shifts.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this application employs the following technical solution:

[0008] A device for calculating the consumption of cigarette paper auxiliary materials includes a device for calculating the consumption of tipping paper and a device for calculating the consumption of cigarette paper.

[0009] The paper feeding consumption calculation device includes a paper feeding roller, a first metal sheet, a first metal sensor, an L-shaped bracket, a second metal sensor, a paper pressing roller, and a first photoelectric sensor. The first metal sheet is fixed on the paper feeding roller, the first metal sensor is fixed on the L-shaped bracket, the L-shaped bracket is fixed on the back plate of the cigarette machine, the first metal sensor cooperates with the first metal sheet, the second metal sensor is set on the back plate of the cigarette machine and cooperates with the paper pressing roller, and the first photoelectric sensor is set at the front end of the paper feeding roller.

[0010] The cigarette paper consumption measuring device includes a second metal sheet, a belt pulley, a third metal sensor, a tensioning wheel, a lower guide roller, a left guide roller, a right guide roller, and a second photoelectric sensor. The belt pulley is mounted on the cigarette machine, the second metal sheet is mounted on the outer circle of the belt pulley, the third metal sensor is mounted on the cigarette machine base, and the end of the third metal sensor corresponds to the belt pulley. The tensioning wheel, lower guide roller, left guide roller, and right guide roller are all located on the cigarette machine above the belt pulley. The tensioning wheel is located between the lower guide roller and the belt pulley, and the lower guide roller is located to the lower right of the left guide roller. The lower guide roller, left guide roller, and right guide roller are used to support the counterclockwise rotation of the belt. The second photoelectric sensor is mounted on the cigarette machine base to the lower right of the right guide roller.

[0011] The first metal sensor, the second metal sensor, the first photoelectric sensor, the third metal sensor, and the second photoelectric sensor are all electrically connected to the PLC controller, and the PLC controller is electrically connected to the industrial computer.

[0012] Furthermore, the first metal sheet is welded onto the paper feed roller, and the second metal sheet is an arc-shaped metal sheet that occupies one-third of the outer circumference of the belt pulley.

[0013] Furthermore, the first metal sensor, the second metal sensor, and the third metal sensor are all high-frequency metal sensors.

[0014] Furthermore, the distance between the tip of the first metal sensor and the first metal sheet is 2mm.

[0015] Furthermore, the distance between the end of the third metal sensor and the belt pulley is 3-5mm.

[0016] Furthermore, it includes a touch screen, which is connected to the PLC controller and the industrial control computer's electrical signals.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] This device uses a first metal sensor and a third metal sensor to read the pulse and paper break signals of the paper feed roller and the cloth belt pulley, respectively, to calculate the consumption of cigarette paper and tipping paper during the production process, effectively solving the problem that current cigarette machines cannot perform auxiliary material consumption statistics.

[0019] This technical solution reads the system time to clear and store the consumption data of cigarette paper and tipping paper for the current shift, and can accurately calculate the consumption of cigarette paper and auxiliary materials for each production shift. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The technical solution of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are merely exemplary and can only be used to explain and illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting the technical solution of this utility model.

[0025] In this application, the metal sensor detects pulses from a metal sheet to generate a high-level signal, which is then transmitted to the PLC controller. The control involved in the connection between the PLC controller and the industrial control computer's electrical signals is also conventional technology. Those skilled in the art can directly obtain the products and implement the aforementioned functions through commercial channels. On the other hand, the techniques involved in calculating the consumption of tipping paper and cigarette paper in this application—namely, calculating the consumption using pulse signals, increasing the timer value, and using the diameters of the feeding roller and the cloth belt pulley—are all conventional calculation formulas. Products purchased commercially by those skilled in the art possess the corresponding functions.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this application provides a cigarette paper auxiliary material consumption calculation device, including a tipping paper consumption calculation device and a cigarette paper consumption calculation device.

[0027] The paper feeding consumption calculation device of this application includes a paper feed roller 9, a first metal strip 11, a first metal sensor 14, an L-shaped bracket 12, a second metal sensor 17, a pressure roller 10, and a first photoelectric sensor 18. The first metal strip 11 is a metal strip directly welded to the paper feed roller 9 to ensure synchronization between the two. In this application, the first metal strip 11 is welded to the side wall of the paper feed roller 9 near its end. This arrangement ensures that it does not obstruct the input of the feeding paper 13 and is not within the feeding paper's range, thus avoiding any impact or damage to the feeding paper.

[0028] The first metal sensor 14 is fixedly mounted on the L-shaped bracket 12, which is fixed to the back plate of the cigarette machine. The first metal sensor 14 cooperates with the first metal plate 11 to capture the pulse signal generated by the paper feeding roller. To ensure accurate signal capture, the distance between the end of the first metal sensor 14 and the first metal plate 11 is 2mm. When the pressure roller and the paper feeding roller rotate synchronously, they press down the paper for feeding. For each revolution of the paper feeding roller, the first metal sensor is triggered once by the first metal plate, generating a high-level signal. At the same time, the first metal sensor transmits the high-level signal to the PLC controller 15 for processing.

[0029] In this application, the second metal sensor 17 is disposed on the back plate of the cigarette machine and cooperates with the paper pressure roller 10 to detect whether the paper pressure roller 10 is in the working position. The first photoelectric sensor 18 is disposed at the front end of the paper feeding roller.

[0030] The first photoelectric sensor is located at the front end of the paper feed roller to detect the paper being fed.

[0031] In this application, the cigarette paper consumption measuring device includes a second metal sheet 2, a belt pulley 1, a third metal sensor 3, a tensioning wheel 4, a lower guide roller 5, a left guide roller 6, a right guide roller 7, and a second photoelectric sensor 8. The belt pulley 1 is mounted on the cigarette machine. The second metal sheet 2 is an arc-shaped metal sheet occupying one-third of the outer radius of the belt pulley. The second metal sheet 2 is mounted on the outer radius of the belt pulley 1. The third metal sensor 3 is mounted on the cigarette machine base, with its end corresponding to the belt pulley 1, and the distance between the end of the third metal sensor 3 and the belt pulley 1 is 3-5 mm. The tensioning wheel 4, lower guide roller 5, left guide roller 6, and right guide roller 7 are all located on the cigarette machine above the belt pulley. The tensioning wheel is located between the lower guide roller and the belt pulley. The lower guide roller is located to the lower right of the left guide roller. The lower guide roller, left guide roller, and right guide roller support the counterclockwise rotation of the belt. The second photoelectric sensor is mounted on the cigarette machine base to the lower right of the right guide roller.

[0032] In this application, the first metal sensor 14, the second metal sensor 17, the first photoelectric sensor 18, the third metal sensor 3, and the second photoelectric sensor 8 are all electrically connected to the PLC controller 15, and the PLC controller 15 is electrically connected to the industrial computer 16.

[0033] In this application, the first metal sensor, the second metal sensor, and the third metal sensor are all high-frequency metal sensors.

[0034] This application includes a touch screen, which is connected to the PLC controller and the industrial control computer's electrical signals.

[0035] The PLC controller in this application serves as the core of the entire measurement system, responsible for receiving and processing the pulse signals transmitted by the metal sensor. The industrial control computer 16 provides an intuitive and user-friendly interface via a touchscreen or computer interface. This interface displays the amount of tipping paper consumed as calculated by the PLC, allows users to input parameters such as the tipping paper feed roller diameter Ф and shift settings, and also provides additional functions such as historical data query and abnormal consumption alarm prompts.

[0036] Meanwhile, the consumption of tipping paper in the equipment can be collected in real time via Ethernet. If any abnormality is found, the equipment management personnel can intervene in a timely manner to effectively reduce material consumption.

[0037] The PLC controller communicates with the touchscreen via RS485. The touchscreen can be set with a "belt pulley diameter reference" based on the size of the pulleys for different units. It also displays real-time "cigarette paper consumption" data for the current shift and has corresponding "start" and "reset" buttons for calibrating the belt pulley diameter and manually resetting the cigarette paper consumption data. The PLC controller interacts with the industrial computer in real-time via network cable, transmitting the actual material consumption data to the computer. The industrial computer then continuously calibrates the system time of both the touchscreen and the PLC controller.

[0038] The consumption of tipping paper and cigarette paper is calculated using the following formula:

[0039] L = Ф × π × N, where L is the amount of feed paper or cigarette paper consumed, Ф is the diameter of the feed roller or the cloth belt pulley, and N is the pulse received by the first metal sensor or the third metal sensor at the input terminal of the PLC controller.

[0040] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
