Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cigarette production technology, and more specifically, to a cigarette conveying control system. Background Technology
[0002] In the cigarette production process, it is necessary to recycle the unqualified cigarette packs rejected by the packaging machine. The commonly used method is to use a conveyor belt to continuously transport the cigarettes that fall on the conveyor belt to the collection box for final recycling. However, since the unqualified cigarette packs are rejected intermittently, while the conveyor belt is running continuously, the recycling rate of the conveyor belt is not high. At the same time, due to the continuous operation of the conveyor belt and its components, frequent conveyor belt failures occur.
[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a cigarette delivery control system. Utility Model Content

[0023] Techniques, methods, and equipment known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, they should be considered part of the specification.
[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cigarette conveying control system provided in this embodiment includes: a packaging machine 1, a cigarette recycling conveyor belt 6 is provided on one side of the packaging machine 1, a recycling box 7 is provided below the end of the cigarette recycling conveyor belt 6, a cigarette monitoring component 8 is provided on one side of the cigarette recycling conveyor belt 6, the cigarette monitoring component 8 is connected to a controller, the controller is also connected to the cigarette recycling conveyor belt 6, a cigarette group mold box conveyor belt (not shown) for conveying cigarette group mold boxes 4 is provided above the other side of the cigarette recycling conveyor belt 6, and a cigarette group rejector 3 is provided on the outside of the cigarette group mold box conveyor belt.
[0025] The cigarette pack mold 4 contains a cigarette pack 5, and the recycled cigarette conveyor belt 6 is used to transport the recycled cigarette 2.
[0026] Furthermore, the cigarette monitoring component 8 includes a photoelectric sensor. In one embodiment of this invention, the horizontal distance between the cigarette monitoring component 8 and the recycling cigarette conveyor belt 6 is 4mm-6mm, for example, 5mm. It should be noted that this invention does not specifically limit the installation position, type, or model of the cigarette monitoring component 8. Specifically, the cigarette monitoring component 8 is used to detect the height of the material on the recycling cigarette conveyor belt 6. In this invention, the cigarette monitoring component 8 is used to detect the height of the recycled cigarettes 2 scattered on the recycling cigarette conveyor belt 6 and send high and low level signals to the controller.
[0027] Furthermore, the controller includes the controller built into the packaging machine 1. In a specific implementation, the cigarette monitoring component 8 is connected to the original controller of the packaging machine via a signal line, so that the controller controls the operation of the cigarette recycling conveyor belt 6 according to the detection results of the cigarette monitoring component 8.
[0028] Furthermore, the cigarette monitoring component 8 is connected to the input terminal of the controller, and the cigarette recycling conveyor belt 6 is connected to the output terminal of the controller. The controller is used to control the operating status of the cigarette recycling conveyor belt 6 according to the detection result of the cigarette monitoring component 8.
[0029] During normal production, when packaging machine 1 is in operation, the cigarette pack molds 4 on the cigarette pack conveyor belt are conveyed forward, while the cigarette pack rejector 3 remains stationary and does not push forward, thus completing the cigarette production process. When packaging machine 1 rejects cigarette packs from the cigarette pack molds 4, the rejected cigarette packs 5 scatter onto the recycling cigarette conveyor belt 6. When the rejected cigarette packs 5 continuously accumulate on the recycling cigarette conveyor belt 6, causing the cigarette monitoring component 8 to detect that the accumulation height of the scattered recycled cigarettes 2 on the recycling cigarette conveyor belt 6 exceeds a preset threshold, the cigarette monitoring component 8... A high-level signal is input to the controller of the packaging machine, and then the controller outputs a control command signal to control the motor of the cigarette recycling conveyor belt 6 to operate. At this time, the cigarette recycling conveyor belt 6 rotates counterclockwise to transport the scattered recycled cigarettes into the cigarette recycling box 7. When the cigarette monitoring component 8 detects that the accumulation height of the scattered recycled cigarettes 2 on the cigarette recycling conveyor belt 6 does not exceed the preset threshold, the cigarette monitoring component 8 inputs a low-level signal to the controller, and the controller outputs a stop signal to the cigarette recycling conveyor belt 6 to control the motor of the cigarette recycling conveyor belt 6 to stop running.
[0030] Furthermore, the controller is equipped with a time-delay relay. When the cigarette monitoring component 8 detects that the accumulation height of the scattered recycled cigarettes 2 on the recycled cigarette conveyor belt 6 does not exceed a preset threshold, the cigarette monitoring component 8 inputs a low-level signal to the controller. The time-delay relay inside the controller operates after a preset time delay (8s-12s, for example, 10s), outputs a stop signal, and controls the motor of the recycled cigarette conveyor belt 6 to stop running.
[0031] The cigarette conveying control system provided in this embodiment of the invention monitors the recycled cigarettes on the recycling cigarette conveyor belt in real time through a cigarette monitoring component, preventing the conveyor belt from malfunctioning due to cigarette accumulation. The system utilizes the recycling cigarette conveyor belt and the cigarette monitoring component to achieve timely cigarette conveying and recycling. Real-time monitoring of the recycled cigarettes controls the timely operation of the recycling cigarette conveyor belt, ensuring continuous operation while completing cigarette recycling, thus extending the service life of the recycling cigarette conveyor belt and its auxiliary components.
[0032] The embodiments of this disclosure have now been described in detail. To avoid obscuring the concept of this disclosure, some details known in the art have not been described. Those skilled in the art can fully understand how to implement the technical solutions disclosed herein based on the above description.
