Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of cigarette production equipment, and in particular to an adjustable detection device and packaging machine. Background Technology

[0002] The main function of a cigarette packaging machine is to arrange and package the cigarettes produced by the machine into packs, and then into cartons. During this process, the machine needs to add and replace various materials, such as aluminum foil, label paper, transparent cellophane, and pull tabs. In addition, the machine can also perform paper packaging and film labeling, making the finished cigarettes more attractive and moisture-proof.

[0003] The primary function of tracing paper in cigarette production is as packaging material, enhancing the product's cultural connotation and perceived sophistication. Therefore, to ensure the quality of the finished cigarettes, online inspection of the tracing paper's appearance is necessary during the feeding process. However, existing inspection devices are typically fixed within the production line, resulting in a fixed inspection angle. Furthermore, wrinkles or warping on the tracing paper as it flows along the conveyor line can obscure appearance defects, preventing comprehensive multi-directional inspection. This can lead to certain appearance defects on the tracing paper going undetected and flowing into subsequent packaging stages, impacting the quality of the finished cigarettes. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an adjustable testing device and packaging machine to address the problem of poor testing results leading to defects in finished products.

[0005] A first aspect of this application provides an adjustable detection device, comprising:

[0006] Mounting base;

[0007] A testing bracket, wherein the testing bracket is disposed on the mounting base;

[0008] A tray, which is rotatably mounted on the detection bracket;

[0009] Detector, the detector being mounted on the tray; and

[0010] A pressure roller mechanism is disposed on the mounting base and arranged on the opposite side of the detector. The pressure roller mechanism is used to flatten and convey the sulfuric acid paper.

[0011] The adjustable detection device in this solution is used in cigarette packaging machines to perform online inspection of the appearance quality of tracing paper. Specifically, the adjustable detection device can be installed on the main body of the packaging machine via a mounting bracket. The tracing paper to be inspected is conveyed into the pressure roller mechanism under the drive of the conveying module. The pressure roller mechanism flattens the tracing paper and assists in conveying it, thereby eliminating wrinkles and warping. On this basis, the detector installed on the opposite side of the pressure roller mechanism can perform real-time online inspection of the appearance quality of the conveyed tracing paper. Furthermore, by rotating the adjusting plate, the angle and position of the detector can be flexibly changed to achieve comprehensive multi-directional inspection of the tracing paper. This ensures that the detector can effectively detect any appearance defects on the tracing paper, improves the appearance quality inspection effect of the tracing paper, and prevents tracing paper with appearance defects from flowing to subsequent packaging stations, thus avoiding impact on the quality of the finished cigarettes.

[0031] Furthermore, where the terms "first" and "second" appear, these terms are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, where the term "multiple" appears, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0032] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited.

If so, the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0035] See Figures 1 to 3 An adjustable detection device 100 is shown in one embodiment of this application, which includes a mounting base 10, a detection bracket 20, a support plate 30, a detector 40, and a pressure roller mechanism 50.

[0036] The detection bracket 20 is mounted on the mounting base 10; the tray 30 is rotatably mounted on the detection bracket 20; the detector 40 is mounted on the tray 30; the pressure roller mechanism 50 is mounted on the mounting base 10 and arranged on the opposite side of the detector 40, and the pressure roller mechanism 50 is used to flatten and convey the sulfuric acid paper.

[0037] Optionally, the detector 40 can be any of the following, including but not limited to a visual camera, a laser sensor, etc., and can be flexibly selected according to actual needs.

[0038] In summary, implementing the technical solution of this embodiment will achieve the following beneficial effects: The adjustable detection device 100 of this solution is applied in a cigarette packaging machine to perform online detection of the appearance quality of the sulfuric acid paper. Specifically, the adjustable detection device 100 can be installed on the main body of the packaging machine through the mounting base 10. The sulfuric acid paper to be detected is conveyed into the pressure roller mechanism 50 under the drive of the conveying module. The pressure roller mechanism 50 plays a role in flattening and assisting in conveying the sulfuric acid paper, thereby eliminating wrinkles and warping of the sulfuric acid paper. On this basis, the detector 40 installed on the opposite side of the pressure roller mechanism 50 can perform real-time online detection of the appearance quality of the conveyed sulfuric acid paper. Furthermore, by rotating the adjusting plate 30, the angle position of the detector 40 can be flexibly changed to achieve comprehensive detection of the sulfuric acid paper in multiple directions. This ensures that the detector 40 can effectively detect possible appearance defects on the sulfuric acid paper, improve the appearance quality detection effect of the sulfuric acid paper, and prevent sulfuric acid paper with appearance defects from flowing to subsequent packaging stations, which would affect the quality of the finished cigarettes.

[0039] Optionally, the mounting base 10 can be fixed to the main body of the packaging machine by at least one of the following methods: screw connection, snap connection, magnetic connection, welding, riveting, etc.

[0040] The adjustable detection device 100 has a cube-shaped overall shape. Therefore, the adjustable detection device 100 has a first direction, a second direction, and a third direction, and the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are arranged to intersect each other.

[0041] For example, the first direction can specifically refer to the length direction of the adjustable detection device 100, such as... Figure 1 The arrow S1 points in the middle; the second direction can specifically refer to the width direction of the adjustable detection device 100, such as... Figure 1 The arrow S2 in the diagram points to the direction of the height of the adjustable detection device 100; the third direction can specifically refer to the height direction of the adjustable detection device 100, such as... Figure 1 The direction of arrow S3 in the diagram.

[0042] Please continue reading. Figure 3 In one embodiment, a rotating shaft 30a is mounted on the tray 30, and the tray 30 is rotatably connected to the detection bracket 20 via the rotating shaft 30a. The rotating shaft 30a and the tray 30 are an integral structure, reducing the number of parts and facilitating the installation of the tray 30. The rotating shaft 30a is rotatably connected to the holes in the detection bracket 20, providing the tray 30 with a degree of freedom of rotation. This allows the detector 40 to rotate at any angle in space around the rotating shaft 30a as the rotation center, thereby creating different angular positional relationships between the detector 40 and the sulfuric acid paper, facilitating multi-directional detection of the sulfuric acid paper.

[0043] It should be noted that the rotation of the tray 30 and the detector 40 can be accomplished manually or by setting a power device on the mounting base 10, which drives the tray 30 to rotate automatically. The choice can be made flexibly according to actual needs.

[0044] Please continue reading. Figure 1 In another embodiment, the tray 30 is provided with a first connector 30b and a second connector 30c. The first connector 30b and the second connector 30c are arranged side by side at intervals along a first direction of the adjustable detection device 100. The detector 40 is assembled and fixed with the first connector 30b and the second connector 30c. Mounting the detector 40 on the tray 30 via the first connector 30b and the second connector 30c effectively restricts the degree of freedom of the detector 40, improves the installation stability and reliability of the detector 40, and helps to improve the accuracy of the detection results of the detector 40.

[0045] For example, both the first connector 30b and the second connector 30c use studs, and the housing of the detector 40 has two through holes, with a stud inserted into each through hole. The installation structure is simple; the detector 40 can be fixed to the support plate 30 by placing it from top to bottom, and can be removed by lifting it upwards. The installation and removal operations are convenient and labor-saving.

[0046] Please continue reading. Figures 1 to 3 In one optional embodiment of this application, the detection bracket 20 includes a first bracket body 21, a connecting column 22, and a second bracket body 23. The first bracket body 21 includes a first plate 211 and a second plate 212 connected at an angle. The first plate 211 extends along a second direction of the adjustable detection device 100. One end of the first plate 211 is connected to the support plate 30. One end of the second plate 212 is connected to the other end of the first plate 211. The second plate 212 extends along a third direction of the adjustable detection device 100. The connecting column 22 is mounted on the second plate 212 and is connected to the second bracket body 23. The second bracket body 23 is connected to the mounting base 10.

[0047] The tray 30 is fixed to the mounting base 10 by the first bracket 21, the connecting column 22 and the second bracket 23, so that the tray 30 can be suspended in the mounting base 10, thus avoiding scratching interference with the mounting base 10 when rotating the tray 30 and the detector 40.

[0048] Please continue reading. Figure 1 and Figure 2Furthermore, the mounting base 10 includes a first base plate 11, and the second support body 23 has a first sliding groove hole 231. The detection bracket 20 also includes a first adjusting member 24, which is slidably inserted into the first sliding groove hole 231. The second support body 23 is movably connected to the first base plate 11 through the first adjusting member 24 and can reciprocate along a second direction. By reciprocating the detection bracket 20 along the second direction, the distance between the detector 40 and the tracing paper conveyed through the pressure roller mechanism 50 can be flexibly adjusted, thereby adjusting the focal length of the detector 40 and obtaining a clearer image of the tracing paper.

[0049] Furthermore, the second support body 23 also has a second sliding groove hole 232, and the detection support 20 also includes a second adjusting member 25, which is slidably inserted into the second sliding groove hole 232. The connecting column 22 is movably connected to the second support body 23 through the second adjusting member 25 and can reciprocate along the first direction of the adjustable detection device 100. The reciprocating sliding of the detection support 20 along the first direction can drive the detector 40 to move laterally relative to the tracing paper. When the size of the tracing paper changes, it ensures that the detector 40 can always be aligned with the center of the tracing paper, thereby better acquiring a complete image of the tracing paper and ensuring the detection effect.

[0050] Furthermore, based on any of the above embodiments, the mounting base 10 also includes a second mounting plate 12 connected at an angle to the first mounting plate 11. Specifically, the first mounting plate 11 and the second mounting plate 12 are vertically connected, forming a working cavity between them. At least a portion of the detector 40 and the pressure roller mechanism 50 are disposed within this working cavity. By making full use of the working cavity, the overall structure of the adjustable detection device 100 is made more compact and its volume is reduced, thereby reducing the space occupied during installation.

[0051] The first base plate 11 and the second base plate 12 can be integrally formed or detachable and assembled, depending on actual needs.

[0052] Please continue reading. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The pressure roller mechanism 50 includes a pressure roller support 51, a roller 52 and a roller shaft 53. The pressure roller support 51 is mounted on the second seat plate 12, the roller 52 is rotatably mounted on the pressure roller support 51, and the roller shaft 53 is rotatably mounted on the first seat plate 11. The roller shaft 53 and the roller 52 are in clearance fit.

[0053] During operation, the tracing paper moves along a preset path into the gap between roller 53 and roller 52. At this time, roller 52 and roller 53 flatten the tracing paper, preventing it from springing back. Simultaneously, their rotation guides and conveys the tracing paper. As a result, the tracing paper presented in the field of view of detector 40 is flatter, helping detector 40 acquire a more complete image of the tracing paper for accurate detection of any potential surface defects.

[0054] Based on the above embodiments, the pressure roller mechanism 50 further includes a first fastener 54, and the pressure roller bracket 51 has a third sliding groove hole 511. The first fastener 54 is slidably inserted through the third sliding groove hole 511 and connected to the second seat plate 12, so that the pressure roller bracket 51 can reciprocate along the second direction. When the first fastener 54 is tightened, the pressure roller bracket 51 and the second seat plate 12 can be assembled and fixed; when the first fastener 54 is loosened, the pressure roller bracket 51 can reciprocate along the second direction relative to the first fastener 54 and the second seat plate 12, so as to adjust the width of the gap between the roller 52 and the roller shaft 53, so as to adapt to the installation needs of sulfuric acid paper of different thicknesses and improve the applicability of the adjustable detection device 100.

[0055] Furthermore, the pressure roller mechanism 50 also includes a second fastener 55, and the pressure roller bracket 51 is provided with a fourth sliding groove hole 512. One end of the second fastener 55 is rotatably connected to the roller 52, and the other end of the second fastener 55 is slidably inserted into the fourth sliding groove hole 512, so that the roller 52 can reciprocate along a third direction. When the second fastener 55 is loosened, the second fastener 55 reciprocates in the fourth sliding groove hole 512 along a third direction, which can drive the roller 52 to move synchronously along a third direction, so as to adjust the relative height position between the roller 52 and the roller shaft 53, which can meet the installation requirements of sulfuric acid paper of different thicknesses while avoiding obstruction of the field of view of the detector 40.

[0056] In addition to the above, this application also proposes a packaging machine that includes an adjustable detection device 100 as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0057] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0058] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
