Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cigarette warehousing technology, and in particular to a cigarette warehousing system. Background Technology

[0002] In the cigarette production process, in order to temporarily or long-term store the cigarettes packaged in the cigarette packaging workshop, a cigarette pack conveyor line is usually set up between the cigarette packaging workshop and the finished cigarette storage warehouse. The cigarette pack conveyor line is used to send the packaged cigarettes in the cigarette packaging workshop to the finished cigarette storage warehouse in a timely manner, so as to facilitate the subsequent loading of cigarette products by buyers.

[0003] Although the cigarette pack conveyor line can deliver packaged cigarette products to the finished cigarette storage warehouse, the following drawbacks still exist: First, since the cigarette packaging workshop needs to package multiple cigarette packs of different brands, currently multiple cigarette pack conveyor lines are set up between the cigarette packaging workshop and the finished cigarette storage warehouse to transport different brands of cigarette packs. This not only increases the cost of the cigarette factory, but also creates certain obstacles for the subsequent addition of other equipment in the packaging workshop; Second, because the cigarette pack conveyor line lacks a cigarette pack missing detection, defective cigarettes that are not detected due to missing pack detection failure in the packaging workshop flow into the cigarette product storage warehouse. The consistency of the number of cigarette packs in a cigarette pack cannot be guaranteed, which indirectly affects the reputation of the cigarette factory among sellers.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design and improve the structure of the cigarette pack conveyor line between the cigarette packaging workshop and the finished cigarette storage warehouse. This is to solve the problem that setting up multiple cigarette pack conveyor lines between the cigarette packaging workshop and the finished cigarette storage warehouse would hinder the subsequent addition of other equipment in the packaging workshop, and that the lack of cigarette pack missing detection on the conveyor line would not guarantee the consistency of the number of cigarette packs in the same brand of cigarettes that have been put into storage. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to propose a cigarette pack warehousing system to solve the problems of setting up multiple cigarette pack conveyor lines between the cigarette packing workshop and the finished cigarette storage warehouse, which would hinder the subsequent addition of other equipment in the packing workshop, and the lack of cigarette pack missing detection on the conveyor lines, which would compromise the consistency of the number of cigarette packs in the same brand of cigarettes that have been stored.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A cigarette warehousing system, comprising:

[0008] Carton sealing machine;

[0009] The cigarette conveying line is located in the lower layer of the sealing workshop. The discharge end of the sealing machine is connected to the inlet end of the first lifting conveyor. The discharge end of the first lifting conveyor is connected to the inlet end of the first conveyor line in the upper layer of the sealing workshop. The discharge end of the first conveyor line is connected to the inlet end of the cigarette conveying line in the upper layer of the sealing workshop.

[0010] The cigarette shortage detection conveyor is set in the cigarette conveying line. The cigarettes conveyed on the cigarette conveying line are weighed and detected by the cigarette shortage detection conveyor. The cigarette shortage detection conveyor is electrically connected to the cigarette shortage rejection unit through a controller. The cigarette shortage rejection unit is located on the side wall of the cigarette conveying line downstream of the cigarette shortage detection conveyor.

[0011] The finished product high-speed merging and splitting conveyor line, located in the finished cigarette storage warehouse, includes a cigarette detour conveyor line, a cigarette brand scanning divider, and a cigarette splitting conveyor line. The inlet end of the cigarette detour conveyor line located in the upper layer of the finished cigarette storage warehouse is connected to the outlet end of the cigarette conveyor line through the inner picking cigarette conveyor line in the upper layer of the inner picking workshop. The opening on the side wall of the cigarette detour conveyor line is connected to the inlet end of the cigarette splitting conveyor line that extends inclined to the lower layer of the finished cigarette storage warehouse. A cigarette brand scanning divider is installed on one side wall of the cigarette detour conveyor line corresponding to the inlet end of each cigarette splitting conveyor line.

[0012] The robotic arm clamps for cigarettes are located on one side of the discharge end of each cigarette diversion conveyor line. The robotic arm clamps for cigarettes in the lower layer of the finished cigarette storage warehouse are used in conjunction with the warehouse transport vehicles in the lower layer of the finished cigarette storage warehouse.

[0013] Furthermore, the carton sealing machine is located on the first platform inside the carton sealing workshop, the first conveyor line and the cigarette pack conveyor line are located on the second platform inside the carton sealing workshop, the inner cigarette picking conveyor line is located on the second platform inside the inner picking workshop, the cigarette pack detour conveyor line is located on the second platform inside the finished cigarette storage warehouse, and the cigarette pack diversion conveyor line, the cigarette pack robotic arm clamp and the warehouse transport vehicle are located on the first platform inside the finished cigarette storage warehouse.

[0014] Furthermore, at least six carton sealing machines are arranged in the first-level platform of the carton sealing workshop, and the discharge end of each carton sealing machine is connected to the feed end of the cigarette conveying line through the first lifting conveyor and the first conveying line.

[0015] Furthermore, there are two cigarette conveying lines, namely a first conditional cigarette conveying line and a second conditional cigarette conveying line. The first conditional cigarette conveying line is for conveying cigarettes packaged by five carton sealing machines, and the second conditional cigarette conveying line is for conveying cigarettes packaged by one carton sealing machine. The first conditional cigarette conveying line and the second conditional cigarette conveying line are respectively connected to the feed end of the cigarette detour conveying line through the inner cigarette picking conveying line.

[0016] Furthermore, the missing cigarette strip detection conveyor is respectively installed on the first condition cigarette conveyor line and the second condition cigarette conveyor line, and the missing cigarette strip rejection device is respectively installed on the inner wall of the first condition cigarette conveyor line and the inner wall of the second condition cigarette conveyor line downstream of the missing cigarette strip detection conveyor. The side wall of the first condition cigarette conveyor line and the side wall of the second condition cigarette conveyor line corresponding to the missing cigarette strip rejection device are respectively provided with rejection outlets. The rejection outlets of the side wall of the second condition cigarette conveyor line and the rejection outlets of the side wall of the first condition cigarette conveyor line are respectively connected to the feed end of the second conveyor line. The discharge end of the second conveyor line is connected to the feed end of the second lifting conveyor. The discharge end of the second lifting conveyor is connected to the feed end of the third conveyor line.

[0017] Furthermore, the cigarette strip missing detection conveyor is a belt weighing conveyor; the belt weighing conveyor is respectively set at the gap of the first condition cigarette conveying line and the gap of the second condition cigarette conveying line, and the conveying surface of the belt weighing conveyor is flush with the conveying surfaces of the first condition cigarette conveying line and the second condition cigarette conveying line, respectively.

[0018] Furthermore, the defective cigarette strip removal device includes a removal cylinder and a removal push plate; the removal cylinder is respectively disposed on the inner wall of the first condition cigarette conveying line and the inner wall of the second condition cigarette conveying line, the removal cylinder is electrically connected to the belt weighing conveyor through a controller, and the drive end of the removal cylinder is connected to the removal push plate, wherein one removal push plate corresponds to the removal outlet on the side wall of the first condition cigarette conveying line and the second conveying line respectively, and the other removal push plate corresponds to the removal outlet on the side wall of the second condition cigarette conveying line and the other second conveying line respectively.

[0019] Furthermore, both the second and first lifting conveyors are lifting conveyors with the same lifting mechanism. The lifting conveyor includes a lifting gantry, a linear guide slide module, and a powered roller conveyor. The bottom of the lifting gantry is set on the first-level platform of the sealing workshop. The lifting gantry is located between the first-level platform and the second-level platform of the sealing workshop. The inner wall of the lifting gantry is respectively provided with linear guide slide modules. The moving ends of the linear guide slide modules are respectively connected to the outer wall of the lifting seat. The top of the lifting seat is connected to the bottom of the frame of the powered roller conveyor.

[0020] Furthermore, the cigarette brand scanning diverter includes a cigarette brand recognition scanner, a cigarette diverting cylinder, and a cigarette diverting push plate. The cigarette diverting cylinder is installed on the side wall of the cigarette detour conveyor corresponding to the feed end of each cigarette diverting conveyor line. The cigarette brand recognition scanner is located on the side wall of the detour conveyor line on one side of the cigarette diverting cylinder. The cigarette brand recognition scanner is electrically connected to the cigarette diverting cylinder through controller two. The drive end of the cigarette diverting cylinder is connected to the cigarette diverting push plate. The cigarette diverting push plate corresponds to the feed end of the cigarette diverting conveyor line and the opening on the detour conveyor line. The opening is connected to the feed end of the cigarette diverting conveyor line.

[0021] In the working process, the sealing machine on the lower level of the sealing workshop first processes the cigarette cartons into boxes. After being packaged into cartons, the cartons are then conveyed to the first lifting conveyor via the sealing machine conveyor line. The first lifting conveyor lifts the input cartons of cigarettes to the position of the first conveyor line on the upper level of the sealing workshop and sends them into the first conveyor line. The cartons of cigarettes input into the first conveyor line then enter the upper level of the sealing workshop's carton cigarette conveyor line. The carton cigarette conveyor line then sends the cartons of cigarettes to the carton cigarette missing carton detection conveyor, where it weighs and detects whether the cartons of cigarettes are missing cartons. If the carton cigarette missing carton detection conveyor detects that the cartons of cigarettes are missing cartons, it controls the missing carton rejection mechanism located downstream of the missing carton detection conveyor line via the controller, removing the cartons of cigarettes with missing cartons from the carton cigarette conveyor line. If the missing carton detection conveyor detects that the cartons of cigarettes are not missing cartons, the carton cigarette conveyor line continues to carry the cartons of cigarettes through the upper level of the inner picking production workshop's inner picking cigarette conveyor line into the upper level of the finished cigarette storage warehouse, making a detour. In the conveyor line, the cigarette cartons are transported via a circuitous conveyor line, passing through brand scanning and diversion devices at different locations. The brand is identified and diverted by scanning the codes. If a brand scanning and diversion device identifies a brand that matches the brand to be transported by the cigarette diversion conveyor line extending inclined to the lower level of the finished cigarette storage warehouse, the device pushes the cigarette cartons from the circuitous conveyor line into the matching diversion conveyor line. Cartons of the same brand are then diverted... The cigarettes are delivered to the discharge end of the cigarette distribution conveyor line located in the lower layer of the finished cigarette storage warehouse. The cigarettes are picked up by the mechanical arm clamp located at the discharge end of the cigarette distribution conveyor line and placed on the inbound transport vehicle of the same brand for stacking. Once the stacked quantity reaches the required quantity of cigarettes to be stored, the inbound transport vehicle will transport the stacked cigarettes to the temporary storage rack of the same brand in the finished cigarette storage warehouse for unloading and storage.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least one of the following beneficial effects:

[0023] 1. In this utility model, a single-mode cigarette conveyor consisting of a first lifting conveyor, a first conveyor line, a cigarette pack conveyor line, and a cigarette shortage detection device erected in the cigarette packaging workshop, along with an inner picking cigarette conveyor line erected in the inner picking workshop and a cigarette pack detour conveyor line, a cigarette pack brand scanning diverter, a cigarette pack diversion conveyor line, and a cigarette pack robotic arm clamp erected in the finished cigarette storage warehouse, can complete the process of separating different brands of cigarette packs into the warehouse. This eliminates the need for multiple parallel arrays such as the first lifting conveyor line erected between the cigarette packaging workshop and the finished cigarette storage warehouse, as is traditionally required. The cigarette pack conveyor line, consisting of a machine, a first conveyor line, a pack cigarette conveyor line, a cigarette shortage detection device, an inner cigarette picking conveyor line, a pack cigarette detour conveyor line, a pack cigarette brand scanning diverter, a pack cigarette diversion conveyor line, and a pack cigarette robotic arm clamp, is used to individually transport pack cigarettes of different brands. This solves the problem that because the cigarette packaging workshop needs to package multiple pack cigarettes of different brands, multiple pack cigarette conveyor lines need to be set up between the cigarette packaging workshop and the finished cigarette storage warehouse, which would hinder the subsequent addition of other equipment in the packaging workshop or the finished cigarette storage warehouse and increase the cost of cigarette factories.

[0024] 2. This utility model includes a cigarette shortage detection conveyor on the cigarette conveyor line. Cigarettes transported on the line are weighed and detected by this conveyor. The cigarette shortage detection conveyor is electrically connected to a cigarette shortage rejection mechanism via a controller. The rejection mechanism is located on the side wall of the cigarette conveyor line downstream of the detection conveyor. When cigarettes are transported to the cigarette shortage detection conveyor, it weighs the passing cigarettes. If the detection mechanism detects that the cigarette is not fully loaded, it will detect the shortage. If the cigarette pack is within the specified weight range (meaning it is missing a carton), the missing carton detection unit will control the missing carton rejection unit located downstream of the detection unit via the controller. This will remove the missing carton from the cigarette pack conveyor line, preventing it from entering the warehouse and ensuring the consistency of the number of cars in subsequent cigarette packs. This solves the problem that due to the lack of missing carton detection on the cigarette pack conveyor line, missing cars that were not detected by the missing carton detection malfunction in the packaging workshop may flow into the cigarette product storage warehouse, thus compromising the consistency of the number of cars in a pack of cigarettes of the same brand.

[0025] 3. This utility model connects the rejection outlet on the side wall of the second condition smoke conveyor and the rejection outlet on the side wall of the second condition smoke conveyor to the feed end of the second conveyor. The second lifting conveyor is connected to the discharge end of the second conveyor and the feed end of the third conveyor. This allows the defective smoke detected on the first condition smoke conveyor to be pushed onto the second conveyor via the rejection outlet on the side wall of the first condition smoke conveyor, or the defective smoke detected on the second condition smoke conveyor to be pushed onto the second conveyor via the rejection outlet on the side wall of the first condition smoke conveyor. When the defective cigarettes are pushed onto the second conveyor line via the side wall rejection outlet of the second defective cigarette conveyor line, they will first be fed into the second lifting conveyor line. The second lifting conveyor line will then carry the incoming defective cigarettes to the feed end of the third conveyor line and into the third conveyor line. The third conveyor line will then send the defective cigarettes back to the sealing workshop for temporary storage. The defective cigarettes will be manually unsealed, refilled, and resealed. This not only avoids the accumulation of defective cigarette boxes on the first or second defective cigarette conveyor line, but also allows for the timely collection and resealing of defective cigarettes.

Detailed Implementation

[0036] like Figure 1-9 As shown, to make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0037] Example

[0038] While existing cigarette pack conveyor lines can transport packaged cigarettes to the finished cigarette storage warehouse, they still have the following drawbacks: 1. Because the cigarette packaging workshop needs to package multiple cigarette packs of different brands, multiple cigarette pack conveyor lines are currently set up between the cigarette packaging workshop and the finished cigarette storage warehouse to transport different brands of cigarette packs. This not only increases the cost for the cigarette factory but also hinders the subsequent addition of other equipment in the packaging workshop. 2. Due to the lack of cigarette pack defect detection on the cigarette pack conveyor lines, defective cigarettes that are not detected due to defect detection failures in the packaging workshop flow into the cigarette product storage warehouse. This makes it impossible to guarantee the consistency of the number of cigarette packs in a cigarette pack, indirectly affecting the reputation of the cigarette factory among sellers.

[0039] Therefore, this application proposes a cigarette pack warehousing system to solve the problems of multiple cigarette pack conveyor lines needing to be built between the cigarette packing workshop and the finished cigarette storage warehouse because the cigarette packing workshop needs to pack multiple cigarette packs of different brands, which would hinder the subsequent addition of other equipment in the packing workshop; and the lack of cigarette pack missing detection on the conveyor lines, which would compromise the consistency of the number of cigarette packs in the already stored cigarette packs.

[0040] For details, please refer to Figure 1 A cigarette warehousing system includes a carton sealing machine 1, a cigarette conveyor line 2, a cigarette shortage detection conveyor 4, a finished product high-speed merging and splitting conveyor line 6, and a cigarette robotic arm clamp 10. The carton sealing machine 1, located in the lower layer of the sealing workshop, has its discharge end connected to the inlet end of a first lifting conveyor 3. The discharge end of the first lifting conveyor 3 is connected to the inlet end of a first conveyor line 30 in the upper layer. The discharge end of the first conveyor line 30 is connected to the inlet end of the cigarette conveyor line 2 in the upper layer of the sealing workshop. The cigarette shortage detection conveyor 4 is installed in the cigarette conveyor line 2. Cigarettes conveyed on the cigarette conveyor line 2 are weighed and detected by the cigarette shortage detection conveyor 4. The cigarette shortage detection conveyor 4 is electrically connected to a cigarette shortage rejection device 5 via a controller. The cigarette shortage rejection device 5 is located on the side wall of the cigarette conveyor line 2 downstream of the cigarette shortage detection conveyor 4. The high-speed merging and splitting conveyor line 6 located in the finished cigarette storage warehouse includes a detour conveyor line 7, a brand scanning diverter 8, and a diversion conveyor line 9. The inlet of the detour conveyor line 7 is connected to the outlet of the cigarette conveyor line 2 via the inner picking conveyor line 31 in the upper layer of the inner picking workshop. The opening on the side wall of the detour conveyor line 2 in the upper layer of the finished cigarette storage warehouse is connected to the inlet of the conditional cigarette diversion conveyor line 9, which extends inclined to the lower layer of the finished cigarette storage warehouse. A brand scanning diverter 8 is installed on one side wall of the detour conveyor line 7 corresponding to the inlet of the conditional cigarette diversion conveyor line 9. The outlet of each cigarette diversion conveyor line 9 is connected to the cigarette robotic arm clamp 10. The cigarette robotic arm clamp 10 in the lower layer of the finished cigarette storage warehouse is used in conjunction with the inbound transport vehicle 11 in the lower layer of the finished cigarette storage warehouse.

[0041] In practical application, when packing different brands of cigarettes into cartons by the sealing machine 1 in the cigarette packaging workshop to the finished cigarette storage warehouse, the sealing machine 1 on the lower level of the sealing workshop first processes the packing of cigarettes into cartons. After packaging, the cartons of cigarettes are then fed into the first lifting conveyor 3 via the conveyor line of the sealing machine 1. The first lifting conveyor 3 then lifts the input cartons of cigarettes to the position of the first conveyor line 30 on the upper level of the sealing workshop and feeds them into the first conveyor line 30. Then, the cartons of cigarettes fed into the first conveyor line 30 enter the upper level of the sealing workshop. In the cigarette conveyor line 2, the cigarettes are fed into the cigarette shortage detection unit 4 and weighed to check if the cigarettes are missing a piece. If the cigarette shortage detection unit 4 detects a missing piece, it controls the cigarette shortage rejection unit 5 located downstream of the cigarette shortage detection unit 4 to remove the cigarettes with missing pieces from the cigarette conveyor line 2. If the cigarette shortage detection unit 4 detects that the cigarettes are not missing a piece, the cigarette conveyor line 2 continues to carry the cigarettes through the upper cigarette picking conveyor in the inner cigarette picking workshop. The cigarette cartons are fed into the upper-level circular conveyor line 7 inside the finished cigarette storage warehouse via the feeder line 31. The circular conveyor line 7 carries the cigarette cartons through different locations on the conveyor line 7 where brand scanning and diversion devices 27 identify and divert the cigarette cartons by scanning their codes. During this scanning process, if the brand scanning and diversion device 27 identifies a brand that matches the brand to be conveyed by the inclined cigarette diversion conveyor line 9 extending into the lower level of the finished cigarette storage warehouse, the brand scanning and diversion device 27 will then divert the cigarette cartons from the circular conveyor line 7. The delivered cigarette packs are pushed into the matching cigarette pack diversion conveyor line 9. The cigarette pack diversion conveyor line 9 delivers cigarette packs of the same brand to the discharge end of the cigarette pack diversion conveyor line 9. The cigarette pack robotic arm clamp 10 located at the discharge end of the cigarette pack diversion conveyor line 9 then picks up the cigarette packs and places them on the warehouse transport vehicle 11 for transporting that brand for stacking. During this stacking process, if the number of stacked cigarette packs reaches the number of cigarette packs to be stored in the warehouse, the warehouse transport vehicle 11 transports the stacked cigarette packs to the temporary storage rack of the same brand of cigarette packs in the finished cigarette storage warehouse for unloading and storage.

[0042] In the above-mentioned cigarette conveying process, the first lifting conveyor 3, the first conveyor line 30, the cigarette conveying line 2, and the cigarette shortage detection device 4 set up in the cigarette packaging workshop, together with the inner picking cigarette conveying line 31 set up in the inner picking workshop and the cigarette detour conveying line 7, cigarette brand scanning diverter 8, cigarette diversion conveying line 9, and cigarette robotic arm clamp 10 set up in the finished cigarette storage warehouse, can complete the process of sorting and storing cigarettes of different brands into the warehouse. This eliminates the need for the traditional method of separating cigarettes from the cigarette packaging workshop. Multiple cigarette conveyor lines, such as the first lifting conveyor 3, the first conveyor line 30, the cigarette pack conveyor line 2, the cigarette shortage detection device 4, the inner picking cigarette conveyor line 31, the cigarette pack detour conveyor line 7, the cigarette pack brand scanning diverter 8, the cigarette pack diversion conveyor line 9, and the cigarette pack robotic arm clamp 10, are arranged side by side between the cigarette packaging workshop and the finished cigarette storage warehouse to individually transport cigarette packs of different brands. This solves the problem of having to build multiple cigarette pack conveyor lines between the cigarette packaging workshop and the finished cigarette storage warehouse because the cigarette packaging workshop needs to package multiple cigarette packs of different brands. This issue creates obstacles for adding other equipment in the packaging workshop or finished cigarette storage warehouse. Furthermore, because a missing cigarette pack detection conveyor 4 is installed on the cigarette pack conveyor line 2, the cigarette packs conveyed on line 2 are weighed and detected by this conveyor 4. The missing cigarette pack detection conveyor 4 is electrically connected to a missing cigarette pack rejection unit 5 via a controller. The missing cigarette pack rejection unit 5 is located on the side wall of the cigarette pack conveyor line 2 downstream of the missing cigarette pack detection conveyor 4. Therefore, the missing cigarette pack detection unit 4 detects missing cigarette packs. The missing cigarette pack detection unit 4 controls the action of the missing cigarette pack rejection unit 5 located downstream of the cigarette pack detection unit 4 through the controller 1. The missing cigarette packs on the cigarette pack conveyor line 2 are removed from the cigarette pack conveyor line 2, ensuring the consistency of the number of cigarette packs in the subsequent cigarette packs entering the warehouse. This solves the problem that due to the lack of missing cigarette pack detection on the cigarette pack conveyor line, missing cigarette packs that were not detected by the missing cigarette pack detection malfunction in the packaging workshop flow into the cigarette product storage warehouse, and the consistency of the number of cigarette packs in the same brand of cigarette packs cannot be guaranteed.

[0043] To rationally arrange the sealing machine 1 and the cigarette conveyor line 2 in the sealing workshop, the inner picking cigarette conveyor line 31 in the inner picking workshop, and the cigarette detour conveyor line 7, the cigarette diversion conveyor line 9, the cigarette robotic arm clamp 10, and the warehousing transport vehicle 11 in the finished cigarette storage warehouse, the sealing machine 1 is located on the first platform in the sealing workshop, the cigarette conveyor line 2 is located on the second platform in the sealing workshop, the inner picking cigarette conveyor line 31 is located on the second platform in the inner picking workshop, the cigarette detour conveyor line 7 is located on the second platform in the finished cigarette storage warehouse, and the cigarette diversion conveyor line 9, the cigarette robotic arm clamp 10, and the warehousing transport vehicle 11 are located on the first platform in the finished cigarette storage warehouse.

[0044] In practical application, before the packaged cigarettes of different brands are sent to the cigarette product storage warehouse after being sealed in the sealing workshop, the sealing machine 1 can be placed on the first platform inside the sealing workshop (the first platform inside the sealing workshop: the ground inside the sealing workshop). The cigarette conveyor line 2 and the first conveyor line 30 are erected on the second platform inside the sealing workshop (the area above the ground inside the sealing workshop) and connected to each other. The cigarette missing carton detection device 4 and the cigarette missing carton rejection device 5 are installed on the cigarette conveyor line 2 on the second platform inside the sealing workshop. The first lifting conveyor 3 is placed between the first conveyor line 30 and the sealing machine 1 on the first platform inside the sealing workshop and connected to both. The inner picking cigarette conveyor line 31 is erected on the second platform inside the inner picking workshop (the area above the ground inside the inner picking workshop) and connected to the cigarette conveyor line 2 on the second platform inside the sealing workshop. The cigarette detour conveyor line 7 is erected on the second platform inside the finished cigarette storage warehouse (the area inside the finished cigarette storage warehouse). The second-level platform (the area above ground level within the finished cigarette storage warehouse) connects to the inner picking cigarette conveyor line 31 on the second-level platform within the inner picking workshop. The cigarette diversion conveyor line 9 is erected on the first-level platform within the finished cigarette storage warehouse (the first-level platform within the finished cigarette storage warehouse: the ground level within the finished cigarette storage warehouse) and connects to the inclined, extended, and detour cigarette conveyor line 7 on the second-level platform within the finished cigarette storage warehouse. The cigarette brand scanning diverter 8 is installed on the detour cigarette conveyor line 7 corresponding to the feed end of the conditional cigarette diversion conveyor line 9. On one side wall, the robotic arm clamp 10 for cigarettes is placed on the first-level platform inside the finished cigarette storage warehouse and is located on the side of the discharge end of the cigarette diversion conveyor line 9. The inbound transport vehicle 11 is placed on the first-level platform inside the finished cigarette storage warehouse to complete the layout of the sealing machine 1, the cigarette conveyor line 2, the inner picking cigarette conveyor line 31, the cigarette detour conveyor line 7, the cigarette diversion conveyor line 9, the robotic arm clamp 10 for cigarettes and the inbound transport vehicle 11, in preparation for sending the different brands of cigarettes sealed in the sealing workshop into the finished cigarette storage warehouse.

[0045] It should be noted that the sealing workshop, the inner sorting workshop, and the finished cigarette storage warehouse are interconnected in some areas to facilitate the construction of conveyor lines between them; among them, the inner sorting conveyor line in the inner sorting workshop only serves to transport cigarettes in packages.

[0046] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 To meet the packaging needs of different brands of cigarettes, at least six carton sealing machines 1 are arranged in the first-level platform of the carton sealing workshop. The discharge end of each carton sealing machine 1 is connected to the feed end of the first lifting conveyor 3, the discharge end of the first lifting conveyor 3 is connected to the feed end of the first conveyor line 30, and the discharge end of the first conveyor line 30 is connected to the feed end of the cigarette pack conveyor line 2.

[0047] In practical application, when packaging and transporting different brands of cigarette cartons into the warehouse, six carton sealing machines 1 are used to seal different brands of cigarette cartons. The cigarette cartons sealed by the six carton sealing machines 1 are then fed into the first lifting conveyor 3 by the conveyor lines of each of the six carton sealing machines 1. The first lifting conveyor 3 lifts the cigarette cartons to the first conveyor line 30 and sends them into the first conveyor line 30. The first conveyor line 30 sends the cigarette cartons to the cigarette carton conveyor line 2. The cigarette carton missing detection conveyor 4 set on the cigarette carton conveyor line 2 weighs and detects the missing cartons. The cigarette cartons that are not missing cartons are then transported by the cigarette carton conveyor line 2 and the inner picking cigarette conveyor line 31 to the cigarette carton detour conveyor line 7 for brand identification and diversion. The diverted cigarette cartons are then sent to the cigarette carton robotic arm clamp 10 by their respective cigarette carton diversion conveyor lines 9. The cigarette carton robotic arm clamp 10 then picks up the cigarette cartons and places them on the warehouse transport vehicle 11 that transports that brand for stacking.

[0048] It should be noted that the sealing machine 1 is existing equipment in the cigarette factory, and no improvements or designs have been made to it; therefore, its structure will not be described in detail.

[0049] Please see Figure 1 To increase the amount of cigarettes of different brands input into the cigarette detour conveyor line 7 per unit time, the cigarette conveyor line 2 is set as two lines. The two conditional cigarette conveyor lines 2 are the first conditional cigarette conveyor line 12 and the second conditional cigarette conveyor line 13. The first conditional cigarette conveyor line 12 is used to convey cigarettes packaged by five carton sealing machines 1, and the second conditional cigarette conveyor line 13 is used to convey cigarettes packaged by one carton sealing machine 1. The first conditional cigarette conveyor line 12 and the second conditional cigarette conveyor line 13 are connected to the feeding end of the cigarette detour conveyor line 7 through the inner picking cigarette conveyor line 31.

[0050] In practical application, when the cigarettes sealed by the carton sealing machine 1 are conveyed to the cigarette detour conveyor line 7 via the cigarette conveyor line 2, the cigarettes sealed by the five carton sealing machines 1 are input into the cigarette detour conveyor line 7 via their own conveyor lines, the first lifting conveyor 3, the first conveyor line 30, and the first conditional cigarette conveyor line 12. At the same time, the cigarettes sealed by one carton sealing machine 1 are input into the cigarette detour conveyor line 7 via its own conveyor line, another first lifting conveyor 3, another first conveyor line 30, and the second conditional cigarette conveyor line 13. In this way, by working together through the first conditional cigarette conveyor line 12 and the second conditional cigarette conveyor line 13 to input the cigarettes into the cigarette detour conveyor line 7, not only is the amount of cigarettes of different brands input into the cigarette detour conveyor line 7 per unit time increased, but the efficiency of cigarette warehousing is also indirectly improved.

[0051] It should be noted that the discharge end of the cigarette detour conveyor 7 is connected to the cigarette case detour conveyor 7 so that cigarette cases that were not diverted due to faster transportation can re-enter the cigarette detour conveyor 7 for diversion.

[0052] Please see Figure 2To detect missing pieces of cigarettes on the first conditional smoke conveyor line 12 and the second conditional smoke conveyor line 13, a missing piece detection conveyor 4 is respectively installed on the first conditional smoke conveyor line 12 and the second conditional smoke conveyor line 13. A missing piece rejection device 5 is located on the inner wall of the first conditional smoke conveyor line 12 and the inner wall of the second conditional smoke conveyor line 13 downstream of the missing piece detection conveyor 4. Rejection outlets 14 are respectively opened on the side walls of the first conditional smoke conveyor line 12 and the second conditional smoke conveyor line 13 corresponding to the missing piece rejection device 5. The rejection outlets 14 on the side walls of the second conditional smoke conveyor line 13 and the first conditional smoke conveyor line 12 are respectively connected to the feed end of the second conveyor line 15. The feed end of the second conveyor line 15 is connected to the feed end of the second lifting conveyor 16. The discharge end of the second lifting conveyor 16 is connected to the feed end 17 of the third conveyor line 17.

[0053] In practical application, when the cigarette pack missing strip detection unit 4 on the first condition cigarette conveyor line 12 detects and rejects cigarette packs that are missing strips, the first condition cigarette conveyor line 12 sends the cigarette packs into the cigarette pack missing strip detection conveyor 4. The cigarette pack missing strip detection conveyor 4 then weighs and detects the passing cigarette packs. If the weight of the cigarette pack is not within the weight range when it is full of cigarettes (meaning that the cigarette pack is missing strips), the cigarette pack missing strip detection conveyor 4 controls the cigarette pack missing strip rejection unit 5 located downstream of the cigarette pack missing strip detection conveyor 4 to act through the controller, thus removing the missing strips from the first condition cigarette conveyor line 12. The missing cigarette packs are pushed into the second conveyor line 15 through the rejection outlet 14 on the side wall of the first condition cigarette conveyor line 12. The second conveyor line 15 then sends the cigarette packs into the second lifting conveyor 16. The second lifting conveyor 16 then carries the input cigarette packs down to the position of the third conveyor line 17 and sends them into the third conveyor line 17. The third conveyor line 17 sends the missing cigarette packs back to the sealing workshop for temporary storage. The cigarette packs are then manually unsealed, refilled, and sealed again. This completes the process of the missing cigarette pack detection conveyor 4 detecting and rejecting the missing cigarette packs conveyed by the first condition cigarette conveyor line 12.

[0054] When the cigarette pack missing strip detection conveyor 4 on the second condition cigarette conveyor line 13 detects and rejects cigarette packs with missing strips, the second condition cigarette conveyor line 13 sends cigarette packs into the cigarette pack missing strip detection conveyor 4. The cigarette pack missing strip detection conveyor 4 then weighs the passing cigarette packs. If the weight of the cigarette pack is not within the weight range when it is full of cigarettes (meaning that the cigarette pack is missing strips), the cigarette pack missing strip detection conveyor 4 controls the cigarette pack missing strip rejection unit 5 located downstream of the cigarette pack missing strip detection unit 4 to act through the controller, and removes the cigarette packs with missing strips from the second condition cigarette conveyor line 13. The rejection outlet 14 on the side wall of conveyor line 13 pushes into another second conveyor line 15, which then sends the cigarette pack into another second lifting conveyor 16. The second lifting conveyor 16 then carries the input cigarette pack down to the position of another third conveyor line 17 and sends it into another third conveyor line 17. The third conveyor line 17 sends the missing cigarette pack back to the sealing workshop for temporary storage, where it is manually unsealed, refilled, and sealed again. This completes the process of the missing cigarette pack detection conveyor 4 rejecting the missing cigarette packs conveyed by the second condition cigarette pack conveyor line 13.

[0055] It should be noted that the first conditional smoke conveying line 12, the second conditional smoke conveying line 13, the second conveying line 15, the first conveying line 30, and the third conveying line 17 in this embodiment can be powered roller conveyors.

[0056] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The cigarette defect detection conveyor 4, which weighs and detects defective cigarettes conveyed on the first condition cigarette conveyor line 12 and the second condition cigarette conveyor line 13, is a belt weighing conveyor 18. The belt weighing conveyor 18 is respectively set at the gap 19 of the first condition cigarette conveyor line and the gap 20 of the second condition cigarette conveyor line. The conveying surface of the belt weighing conveyor 18 is flush with the conveying surfaces of the first condition cigarette conveyor line 12 and the second condition cigarette conveyor line 13.

[0057] In practical application, when the belt weighing conveyor 18 on the first condition cigarette conveyor line 12 weighs and detects missing pieces of cigarettes, the first condition cigarette conveyor line 12 sends the cigarettes to the belt weighing conveyor 18 on the first condition cigarette conveyor line 12. The belt weighing conveyor 18 conveys the cigarettes to the conveying area of ​​the first condition cigarette conveyor line 12 on the other side of the belt weighing conveyor 18, and at the same time performs weighing and detection of missing pieces of cigarettes. If the belt weighing conveyor 18 detects that the weight of the cigarettes is not within the weight range when the cigarettes are fully loaded, the belt weighing conveyor 18 controls the missing piece 5 of the cigarettes on the first condition cigarette conveyor line 12 through the controller, and removes the cigarettes with missing pieces from the first condition cigarette conveyor line 12.

[0058] When the belt weighing conveyor 18 on the second condition cigarette conveyor line 13 weighs and detects missing pieces of cigarettes, the second condition cigarette conveyor line 13 sends the cigarettes to the belt weighing conveyor 18 on the second condition cigarette conveyor line 13. The belt weighing conveyor 18 conveys the cigarettes to the conveying area of ​​the second condition cigarette conveyor line 13 on the other side of the belt weighing conveyor 18, and at the same time, it weighs and detects missing pieces of cigarettes. If the belt weighing conveyor 18 detects that the weight of the cigarettes is not within the weight range when the cigarettes are full, the belt weighing conveyor 18 controls the missing piece rejection piece 5 on the second condition cigarette conveyor line 13 through the controller, and removes the cigarettes with missing pieces from the second condition cigarette conveyor line 13.

[0059] It should be noted that the belt weighing conveyor 18 is respectively set at the gap 19 of the first condition smoke conveyor line, which means that there is a gap in the conveying area of ​​the first condition smoke conveyor line 12 that makes the conveying area of ​​the first condition smoke conveyor line 12 discontinuous, and the belt weighing conveyor 18 is set at the gap, so that the belt weighing conveyor 18 connects the conveying area of ​​the first condition smoke conveyor line 12 completely; the belt weighing conveyor 18 is respectively set at the gap 20 of the second condition smoke conveyor line, which means that there is a gap in the conveying area of ​​the second condition smoke conveyor line 13 that makes the conveying area of ​​the second condition smoke conveyor line 13 discontinuous, and the belt weighing conveyor 18 is set at the gap, so that the belt weighing conveyor 18 connects the conveying area of ​​the second condition smoke conveyor line 13 completely.

[0060] The belt weighing conveyor 18 in this embodiment is existing technology, and no improvements or designs have been made to it, so its structure will not be described in detail.

[0061] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The defective cigarette rejection component 5, which rejects defective cigarettes detected by the belt weighing conveyor 1 on the first cigarette conveyor line 12 and the belt weighing conveyor 1 on the second cigarette conveyor line 13, includes a rejection cylinder 21 and a rejection push plate 22. The rejection cylinder 21 is electrically connected to the belt weighing conveyor 1 via a controller 2, so that the belt weighing conveyor 1 and the controller 2 can control the rejection cylinder 21. The rejection push plate 22 is connected to the drive end of the rejection cylinder 21, so that the rejection cylinder 21 drives the rejection push plate 22 to push the defective cigarettes out of the first cigarette conveyor line 12 or the second cigarette conveyor line 13.

[0062] Specifically, the rejection cylinders 21 are respectively installed on the inner walls of the first conditional smoke conveyor line 12 and the second conditional smoke conveyor line 13. The rejection cylinders 21 are electrically connected to the belt weighing conveyor 18 through the controller. The drive end of the rejection cylinders 21 is connected to the rejection push plate 22. One rejection push plate 22 corresponds to the rejection outlet 14 on the side wall of the first conditional smoke conveyor line 12 and the second conveyor line 15. The other rejection push plate 22 corresponds to the rejection outlet 14 on the side wall of the second conditional smoke conveyor line 13 and the other second conveyor line 15.

[0063] In practical application, when the rejection cylinder 21 on the first condition smoke conveyor line 12 rejects the defective smoke detected by the belt weighing conveyor on the first condition smoke conveyor line 12, the belt weighing conveyor 18 will control the rejection cylinder 21 on the first condition smoke conveyor line 12 through the controller to drive the rejection push plate 22 to push the defective smoke on the first condition smoke conveyor line 12 out from the rejection outlet 14 on the other side wall of the first condition smoke conveyor line 12, so as to complete the process of rejecting the defective smoke detected on the first condition smoke conveyor line 12 by the rejection cylinder 21 and the rejection push plate 22.

[0064] When the rejection cylinder 21 on the second condition smoke conveyor line 13 rejects the defective smoke detected by the belt weighing conveyor on the second condition smoke conveyor line 13, the belt weighing conveyor 18 will control the rejection cylinder 21 on the second condition smoke conveyor line 13 through the controller to drive the rejection push plate 22 to push the defective smoke on the second condition smoke conveyor line 13 out from the rejection outlet 14 on the other side wall of the second condition smoke conveyor line 13, so as to complete the process of rejecting the defective smoke detected on the second condition smoke conveyor line 13 by the rejection cylinder 21 and the rejection push plate 22.

[0065] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The first lifting conveyor 3, which lifts the packaged cigarettes from the sealing machine 1 to the first cigarette conveyor line 12 or the second cigarette conveyor line 13, and the second lifting conveyor 16, which carries the defective cigarettes from the first cigarette conveyor line 12 or the second cigarette conveyor line 13 back to the sealing workshop for resealing, are both lifting conveyors with the same lifting mechanism. The lifting conveyor includes a lifting gantry 23, a linear guide slide module 24, and a powered roller conveyor 25. The lifting gantry 23 serves as the base for mounting the linear guide slide module 24 and the powered roller conveyor 25. The linear guide slide module 24 drives the powered roller conveyor 25 to move up or down between the first platform and the second platform in the sealing workshop. The powered roller conveyor 25 sends the packaged cigarettes into the powered roller conveyor 25 to the first conveyor line 30 or sends the defective cigarettes into the powered roller conveyor 25 to the third conveyor line 17.

[0066] Specifically, the bottom of the lifting gantry 23 is set on or fixedly connected to the first-level platform of the sealing workshop. The lifting gantry 23 is located between the first-level platform and the second-level platform of the sealing workshop. Linear guide slide modules 24 are respectively set on the two inner side walls of the lifting gantry 23. The moving end of the linear guide slide module 24 is connected to the outer side wall of the lifting seat 26, that is, the slider in the linear guide slide module 24 is connected to the outer side wall of the lifting seat 26. The top of the lifting seat 26 is connected to the bottom of the frame of the power roller conveyor 25.

[0067] In practical application, when the first lifting conveyor 3 lifts the packaged cigarettes from the sealing machine 1 to the first cigarette conveyor line 12 or the second cigarette conveyor line 13, the packaged cigarettes from the sealing machine 1 will be fed into the powered roller conveyor 25 in the first lifting conveyor 3 by the conveyor line of the sealing machine 1 itself. The first lifting conveyor 3 then lifts the input packaged cigarettes to the first cigarette conveyor line 12 or the second cigarette conveyor line 13 and stops. At this time, the powered roller conveyor 25 in the first lifting conveyor 3 will perform a conveying action, inputting the packaged cigarettes on the powered roller conveyor 25 into the first conveyor line 30, and the first conveyor line 30 inputs the packaged cigarettes into the first cigarette conveyor line 12 or the second cigarette conveyor line 13, thus completing the process of lifting the packaged cigarettes from the sealing machine 1 to the first cigarette conveyor line 12 or the second cigarette conveyor line 13 by the first lifting conveyor 3.

[0068] When the second lifting conveyor 16 removes the defective cigarettes detected by the first cigarette conveyor line 12 or the second cigarette conveyor line 13 and returns them to the sealing workshop, the rejection pusher 22 pushes the defective cigarettes into the second conveyor line 15 corresponding to the first cigarette conveyor line 12 or the second cigarette conveyor line 13. The second conveyor line 15 then conveys the defective cigarettes into the powered roller conveyor 25 in the second lifting conveyor 16. The second lifting conveyor 16 then moves down to the third conveyor line 17 with the defective cigarettes and stops. At this time, the powered roller conveyor 25 in the second lifting conveyor 16 begins its conveying action, inputting the defective cigarettes on the powered roller conveyor 25 into the third conveyor line 17. The third conveyor line 17 then sends them to the sealing workshop's temporary sealing area for resealing, thus completing the process of using the second lifting conveyor 16 to remove the defective cigarettes detected by the first cigarette conveyor line 12 or the second cigarette conveyor line 13 and return them to the sealing workshop.

[0069] It should be noted that the linear guide slide module 24 is existing technology, and no improvements or designs have been made to it; therefore, its structure will not be described in detail.

[0070] Please see Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9The cigarette brand scanning diverter 8, which identifies and diverts cigarettes within the input cigarette detour conveyor line 7 to the matching cigarette diversion conveyor line 9, includes a cigarette brand recognition scanner 27, a cigarette diversion cylinder 28, and a cigarette diversion pusher plate 29. The cigarette brand recognition scanner 27 scans the brand information barcode affixed to the cigarette box to identify the brand of cigarettes to be conveyed by each cigarette diversion conveyor line 9. The cigarette diversion cylinder 28 is electrically connected to the cigarette brand recognition scanner 27 via a controller, allowing the scanner and controller to control the cylinder. The cigarette diversion pusher plate 29 is connected to the drive end of the cigarette diversion cylinder 28, enabling the cylinder to drive the pusher plate 29 to push different brands of cigarettes into the corresponding cigarette diversion conveyor line 9.

[0071] Specifically, each cigarette diversion cylinder 28 is respectively set on the side wall of the cigarette detour conveyor 7 corresponding to the feeding end of each cigarette diversion conveyor line 9. Each cigarette brand identification scanner 27 is located on the side wall of the cigarette detour conveyor 7 on one side of each cigarette diversion cylinder 28. Each cigarette brand identification scanner 27 identifies a brand of cigarette. Each cigarette brand identification scanner 27 is electrically connected to each cigarette diversion cylinder 28 through controller 2. The drive end of each cigarette diversion cylinder 28 is connected to each cigarette diversion push plate 29. Each cigarette diversion push plate 29 corresponds to the feeding end of the cigarette diversion conveyor line 9 and the opening on the cigarette detour conveyor 7. The opening on the cigarette detour conveyor 7 is connected to the feeding end of each cigarette diversion conveyor 9. The cigarette diversion conveyor 9 connected to the opening on the detour conveyor 7 is set at an inclination, that is, the cigarette diversion conveyor 9 extends at an inclination to the lower layer of the cigarette finished product storage warehouse.

[0072] In practical application, when a cigarette is fed into the detour conveyor line 7 and then diverted to the matching cigarette diversion conveyor line 9 by the cigarette brand scanning diverter 8, the cigarette in the detour conveyor line 7 will be conveyed along one side of the conveyor line 7. The cigarette brand recognition scanner 27 on that side of the conveyor line will first scan the barcode (barcode: a two-dimensional barcode containing the cigarette brand) attached to the passing cigarette. When the scan identifies a brand that matches the brand to be conveyed by the cigarette diversion conveyor line 9, the cigarette brand scanning diverter 27, through controller 2, controls the cigarette diversion cylinder 28 to drive the cigarette diversion pusher 29 to push the cigarette conveyed on one side of the detour conveyor line 7 into the matching cigarette diversion conveyor line 9. The cigarettes are then fed into line 9. Next, cigarettes that were not diverted due to excessive speed continue to be conveyed along the other side of the cigarette detour conveyor line 7 and scanned again by the cigarette brand identification scanner 27 on that side conveyor line. When the scanner identifies a brand that matches the cigarette brand to be conveyed by the cigarette diversion conveyor line 9, the cigarette brand scanning diverter 27 controls the cigarette diversion cylinder 28 via controller 2 to drive the cigarette diversion pusher 29, pushing the cigarettes conveyed on the other side of the cigarette detour conveyor line 7 into the matching cigarette diversion conveyor line 9. This completes the process of diverting different brands of cigarettes input into the detour conveyor line 7 to their respective cigarette diversion conveyor lines 9.

[0073] It should be noted that, in order to increase the amount of cigarettes of a certain brand conveyed by the cigarette diversion conveyor line 9, such as... Figure 1 The cigarette diversion conveyor 9 is configured with 15 lines, each of which has three cigarette diversion conveyor lines corresponding to one cigarette robotic arm clamp 10 (warehouse transport vehicle 11: AGV trolley). Each of the three cigarette diversion conveyor lines 9 is for conveying cigarettes of the same brand, and can divert and store cigarettes of five different brands. Figure 1 For reference, looking from left to right, the cigarette brand scanning dividers 8 installed on the side wall of the cigarette detour conveyor 7 corresponding to the feed end of each of the three-condition cigarette diversion conveyor lines 9 are all barcode scanners that scan cigarettes of the same brand. There are a total of five different barcode scanners that identify cigarette brands. Two of the three-condition cigarette diversion conveyor lines 9 that transport cigarettes of the same brand are connected to one side of the cigarette detour conveyor line 7, and one of the condition cigarette diversion conveyor lines 9 passes under the bottom of the cigarette detour conveyor line 7 and is connected to the other side of the cigarette detour conveyor line 7.

[0074] It should be noted that the cigarette brand identification scanner 27 is a barcode scanner. This barcode scanner is existing technology and has not been improved or redesigned. Therefore, its structure will not be described in detail.

[0075] It should be noted that the cigarette detour conveyor line 7, cigarette diversion conveyor line 9, and internal cigarette picking conveyor line 31 in this example can be powered roller conveyors.

[0076] It should be noted that the cigarette robotic arm clamp 10 includes a robotic arm and a clamp. The robotic arm is installed in the finished cigarette storage warehouse and is close to the discharge end of the conditional cigarette diversion conveyor line 9. The execution end of the robotic arm is connected to the clamp. The clamp can be a suction cup structure or a similar centering mechanism structure. The cigarette robotic arm clamp 10 is existing technology and has not been improved or designed. Therefore, its structure will not be described in detail.

[0077] Although the present invention has been described herein with reference to several illustrative embodiments, it should be understood that many other modifications and implementations can be devised by those skilled in the art, which will fall within the scope and spirit of the principles disclosed herein. More specifically, various variations and modifications can be made to the components and / or layout of the subject matter combination within the scope of the disclosure, drawings, and claims.
