[0024] Figure 2 The side view of the conveying belt provided by the utility model embodiment is shown in the figure. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0026] This utility model proposes an embodiment of a movable mid-length cigarette carton and a QR code information association system for cigarettes, specifically, as follows: Figure 1 As shown, it includes: a conveyor belt 9 with several rollers 8, a gantry frame 4 spanning above the conveyor belt 9, and a fixed bracket 17 connected to the gantry frame 4 and located on one side of the gantry frame 4 on the side of the conveyor belt 9.

[0027] The first scanning dock 7 is located on the other side of the gantry frame 4 and is used to read the QR code on the open cigarette box input from the unloading position of the conveyor belt. An adjustable L-shaped bracket 5 is connected to the crossbeam of the gantry frame 4, and two second scanning docks 19 are installed at the lower end of the L-shaped bracket 5 and are used to read the QR code on the carton inside the cigarette box. In actual implementation, the L-shaped bracket can be an adjustable round tube bracket, and the height of the L-shaped bracket and the orientation angle of the second scanning dock can be changed by telescopic and rotating components. This utility model does not limit this, but it can be pointed out that the photo angle adjustment of the second scanning dock takes into account the influence of external light and the reflection of the cigarette shrink film. The second scanning dock does not adopt a vertical photo angle, but needs to be tilted at a certain angle.

[0028] relative conveying direction ( Figure 1 (Example: conveying from right to left on gantry 4). The first diffuse reflection photoelectric switch 6 is on the same side as the first scanning dock 7, used to detect the input cigarette box and trigger the first scanning dock 7 to work; multiple second diffuse reflection photoelectric switches 18 are installed equidistantly on the fixed bracket (the number depends on the carton packing mode, the illustration shows five, that is, the cartons in the cigarette box can be arranged in five columns, ten cars per column), used to detect the cigarette box conveying position and trigger the second scanning dock 19 to read the QR code on the cigarette carton at the corresponding position; two points can be added here, firstly, the implementation of this utility model For example, this applies to medium-length cigarette products, and in order to capture multiple rows of cartons inside the cigarette box, the cigarette box input to this system needs to be open; secondly, the spacing of each of the second diffuse reflection photoelectric switches 18 is determined by the spacing of the cartons inside the box, that is, by detecting multiple different positions of the cigarette box during the leftward conveying process through the second diffuse reflection photoelectric switches 18, a second scanning terminal 19 is triggered to read a code and the signal of the second diffuse reflection photoelectric switch 18 that has completed this detection is temporarily invalidated, so as not to affect the subsequent second diffuse reflection photoelectric switches 18 from continuing to detect and feedback the cigarette box position.

[0029] Following the foregoing, a universal wheel 10 with a brake is installed below the conveying belt 9. Through the design of the lockable universal wheel, free movement in any desired area of the production workshop is ensured, while the system position is stable after being in place.

[0030] Furthermore, the first code scanning head 7, the second code scanning head 19, the first diffuse reflection photoelectric switch 6, and the second diffuse reflection photoelectric switch 18 are respectively connected to the PLC controller 80 installed below the conveying belt 9 through an electrical signal; and the first code scanning head 7 and the second code scanning head 19 are connected to the industrial computer 1 installed through the fixed support 17 through an electrical signal (the aforementioned management system can be preset, and wireless network access can be achieved through a 5G CPE).

The bracket 81 is installed on the support at least on one side of the conveying belt 9, and the driving motor 82 is arranged above the bracket 81 and is in transmission connection with the outermost roller 8 of the conveying belt 9 through a transmission chain 83. The driving motor 82 is controlled by the PLC controller 80.

[0032] Based on the above embodiment concept, two points can be further described: first, in order to facilitate the input of the tobacco box onto the conveying belt, only the outermost roller 8 of the conveying belt 9 is driven. In order to improve the overall carrying effect of the conveying belt 9, a transmission toothed belt can be provided, and a toothed guide wheel arranged at one end of each roller 8 is connected, so that the outermost roller 8 can drive the entire conveying belt 9 and the rollers 8 on it to rotate synchronously. Second, in order to more flexibly and conveniently control the roller rotation on the conveying belt, in other embodiments, the system further includes a conveying belt speed regulator 11 installed on one side of the conveying belt 9 and connected to the PLC controller 80 and the driving motor 82 through an electrical signal. A speed adjusting knob 12, a rotation speed display screen 13, and a roller start-stop switch 14 are arranged on the conveying belt speed regulator 11. Of course, it can be further explained that in other embodiments, the rollers 8 can be connected by double-row chain wheels, and a tightening block can be added below the transmission chain to achieve reliable synchronous operation of multiple rollers 8.

[0033] In order to ensure the stable movement of the tobacco box on the conveying belt and avoid falling and posture skew, an adjustable support 15 can be installed on the other side of the conveying belt 9 relative to the fixed support 17, and a limiting support 16 is installed through the adjustable support 15. In this way, the tobacco box on the conveying belt can be transported stably and in a normal posture by leaning against the limiting support 16.

[0034] Finally, it can be supplemented that in other embodiments of the utility model, further improvement can be made, that is, the system can also include a reset button 2 and a state indicating lamp 3 which are electrically connected with the industrial computer 1 and installed on the fixed support 17, the number of the state indicating lamp 3 is same with the number of the second diffuse reflection type photoelectric switch 18. From the indicating position to the right, a total of five); the state indicating lamp 3 is used to prompt the two-dimensional code analysis association situation of the strip box and the tobacco box, for example, the two-dimensional code on the first column strip box in the box is analyzed and associated successfully with the two-dimensional code on the tobacco box, and the corresponding state indicating lamp 3 can be triggered to light up, if a state indicating lamp is not lit during the process, it may indicate that the analysis or association fails, at this time, the staff can clear the current information which fails to be associated successfully by triggering the reset button 2, or trigger the system to associate again.
