Among them, the detection module detects whether the cigarette box has a corner, if the cigarette box has a corner, the alarm module generates an alarm signal, and the control module operates the rejection mechanism, so as to timely reject the cigarette box with a corner; if the cigarette box does not have a corner, the alarm module does not generate an alarm signal, and the control module stops the rejection mechanism, so that the qualified cigarette box is transported to the next process through the second conveying mechanism 120. Through the above structure, the cigarette box with corner defect can be effectively detected and rejected, so as to quickly sort the offline cigarette box to be detected, and the production process of the original equipment on the production line is not affected.
[0026] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 Further, the frame body 100 is provided in parallel with two first mounting plates 101, the first conveying mechanism 110 is a first belt conveyor arranged between the two first mounting plates 101, the frame body 100 is provided in parallel with two second mounting plates 102, the second conveying mechanism 120 is a second belt conveyor arranged between the two second mounting plates 102, and the second belt conveyor is located above the first belt conveyor, so that the first belt conveyor and the second belt conveyor are used for horizontal conveying of the cigarette box, and it is also beneficial to use the second belt conveyor to connect the original production line, so as to transport the inspected cigarette box to the next process. Among them, the first belt conveyor and the second belt conveyor are existing equipment, and the first conveying mechanism 110 and the second conveying mechanism 120 can also be replaced by a chain mechanism, and the specific structure is not described in detail.
[0027] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2Further, the frame body 100 comprises a C-shaped surrounding plate 103 arranged on the first mounting plate 101, one side of the surrounding plate 103 is connected with an enclosing plate 104, the surrounding plate 103 and the enclosing plate 104 define a lifting channel, the surrounding plate 103 and the first belt conveyor have an input port communicated with the lifting channel, the detection module comprises a color sensor 105 arranged on the surrounding plate 103, the conveying end of the first belt conveyor is provided with a first position sensor, the first position sensor is electrically connected with the control module, and the first position sensor is used to detect whether the cigarette case is built-in the lifting channel. The color sensor 105 is used to detect whether the corner of the cigarette case is exposed, if yes, it is judged that the cigarette case folding has defects, if not, it is judged that the cigarette case folding is complete.
[0028] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 Further, the lifting mechanism comprises a first cylinder 130 arranged at the lower end of the enclosing plate 104, the first cylinder 130 is connected with a lifting plate 140 at the telescopic end, the lifting plate 140 is movably arranged in the lifting channel, the first cylinder 130 is connected with a gas supply device through a first pipeline, the first pipeline is provided with a first switch valve, and the first switch valve is electrically connected with the control module. Specifically, the operation process of the lifting mechanism is as follows: after the first position sensor detects that the cigarette case enters the lifting channel, the first position sensor transmits a signal to the control module, the control module opens the first switch valve, so that the gas supply device supplies gas to the first cylinder 130, so that the telescopic end of the first cylinder 130 extends to drive the lifting plate 140 to rise, and then the cigarette case is transported along the lifting channel to the end thereof, which is beneficial to the subsequent butt joint of the reversing mechanism. When the first position sensor does not detect that the cigarette case enters the lifting channel, the control module drives the first cylinder 130 to reset, so that the lifting plate 140 descends to the initial position, which is beneficial to timely conveying the next cigarette case. It can be understood that the first cylinder 130 can also adopt a one-way cylinder, and an elastic member needs to be additionally arranged to drive the lifting plate 140 to reset. The first cylinder 130 can adopt a two-way cylinder, and the pipeline is provided with a reversing valve for changing the flow direction of the gas flow, so that the piston is alternately supplied with gas on both sides to drive the lifting plate 140 to reset.
[0029] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2Further, the lifting plate 140 comprises a horizontal plate 141 and a vertical plate 142 connected with each other, the lower end surface of the horizontal plate 141 is connected with the first cylinder 130, and the vertical plate 142 is used for blocking the input port when the horizontal plate 141 moves upward, thereby blocking the next cigarette case from entering the conveying channel, which is beneficial to realize the effect of conveying the cigarette cases one by one, and further facilitate the detection of the cigarette cases one by one and timely rejection of the defective cigarette cases. When the horizontal plate 141 is reset to the initial position, the vertical plate 142 moves downward to open the input port, which is beneficial to the next cigarette case entering the lifting channel. Wherein, the horizontal plate 141 slides and abuts against the inner wall of the lifting channel, which is beneficial to guide and limit the lifting of the horizontal plate 141, thereby standardizing the translation movement of the horizontal plate 141 in the vertical direction.
[0030] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 Further, the reversing mechanism comprises a second cylinder 150 arranged on the second mounting plate 102, and a first push plate 151 connected with the extension end of the second cylinder 150, the first push plate 151 is used for pushing the cigarette case into the second conveying mechanism 120 in the horizontal direction, the upper end of the sealing plate 104 is provided with a second position sensor, the second position sensor is used for detecting whether the cigarette case is lifted to a specified height, the second cylinder 150 is connected with a gas supply device through a second pipeline, the second pipeline is provided with a second on-off valve, and the second on-off valve is electrically connected with the control module. Specifically, in the initial stage, the first push plate 151 is located outside the lifting channel, the second on-off valve is in the open state, and the extension end of the second cylinder 150 is in the extended state, and the second cylinder 150 has the same reset structure as the first cylinder 130. When the second position sensor detects the cigarette case, the second position sensor transmits a signal to the control module, the control module closes the second on-off valve, so that the gas supply device stops supplying gas to the second cylinder 150, so that the extension end of the second cylinder 150 is retracted under the action of the reset structure, thereby driving the cigarette case to move from the lifting channel to the second belt conveyor. It can be understood that, in order to reserve the operation time for the rejection mechanism, the conveying starting end of the second belt conveyor is provided with a platform 152 for temporarily stopping the cigarette case.
[0031] Further, the side surface of the first push plate 151 is provided with an elastic layer, the elastic layer is used for abutting against the outer peripheral wall of the cigarette case, thereby playing the effect of buffering the pushing force of the first push plate 151 for the cigarette case, which is beneficial to protect the appearance shape of the cigarette case. It can be understood that the elastic layer can be a sponge or a rubber piece attached to the first push plate 151, and the specific details are not described.
[0032] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2Further, the rejection mechanism comprises a third cylinder 160 arranged on one of the second mounting plates 102, the third cylinder 160 being connected with a second push plate 161 at the telescopic end, the other second mounting plate 102 being provided with a collection box, the collection box being provided with an opening opposite to the second push plate 161, the second mounting plate 102 being provided with a third position sensor for detecting whether the cigarette case moves to a specified horizontal position, the third cylinder 160 being connected with the gas supply device through a third pipeline, the third pipeline being provided with a third switch valve, the third switch valve being electrically connected with the control module. Specifically, since the cigarette cases are transported one by one, when the detection module detects the defective cigarette case and the third position sensor detects the corresponding cigarette case, the control module can predict the position of the defective cigarette case transported to the second belt conveyor through an algorithm, which is conducive to the control module to timely operate the rejection mechanism for rejection operation. After the third position sensor transmits the detection signal to the control module, the control module opens the third switch valve, so that the gas supply device supplies gas to the third cylinder 160, so that the telescopic end of the third cylinder 160 extends to drive the second push plate 161 to move, and finally realizes the rejection operation of pushing the defective cigarette case into the collection box. It can be understood that the third cylinder 160 has the same reset structure as the first cylinder 130, so as to facilitate the reset of the second push plate 161, and details are not described.
[0033] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 Further, the alarm module comprises a buzzer and an alarm lamp 170 arranged on the second mounting plate 102, the alarm lamp 170 being used to emit a light signal of red light or green light, and the buzzer being used to emit a sound signal of alarm. Specifically, when the detection module detects that the cigarette case does not have the corner defect, the alarm lamp 170 is always green, and the buzzer does not emit the sound signal of alarm. When the detection module detects that a single cigarette case has the corner defect, the alarm lamp 170 flashes red, and the buzzer produces a short-time sound signal of alarm. When the detection module continuously detects that the cigarette case has the corner defect, the alarm lamp 170 is always red, and the buzzer produces a long-time sound signal of alarm, so as to prompt people to observe whether the collection box is full of cigarette cases and clean in time. It can be understood that the alarm lamp 170 can be provided with two alarm lamps 170, one of which only performs the brightening and dimming of green light, and the other of which performs the brightening and dimming of red light, which is conducive to the control module to operate one of the alarm lamps 170 to produce a prompt signal. The control module can adopt a single-chip microcomputer or a PLC module, and details are not described.
[0034] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined in any manner. To make the description concise, all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are not described, but as long as the combinations of the technical features do not exist, they should be considered as the scope of the present disclosure.
[0035] Although the embodiments of the utility model have been shown and described, those of ordinary skill in the art can understand that various changes, modifications, replacements and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and purposes of the utility model, and the scope of the utility model is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
