[0002] In the cigarette production and packaging process, the conveying and stacking of cigarettes are critical links. To ensure that cigarette boxes can move accurately on the production line and be stacked correctly, precise detection and control of the cigarette conveying process are required.

[0003] Especially during the cigarette packing process, it is crucial to accurately identify the stacking status of cigarette boxes in order to stop the conveyor belt promptly and prevent the boxes from piling up and becoming disorderly. Traditional detection methods may not be able to accurately and quickly identify the stacking status of cigarette boxes, leading to increased production line malfunctions and downtime, and impacting production efficiency.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, photoelectric detection technology has been increasingly applied to cigarette conveying equipment. A photoelectric detection system typically includes a detection component and a reflector. The detection component emits infrared signals; when a stack of cigarette boxes passes by, the signals are reflected back to the detection component by the reflector, thus detecting the position of the cigarette boxes. However, existing photoelectric detection installation structures often suffer from inconvenient installation, difficult adjustment, and complex maintenance. For example, the height and angle of the detection component may not be easily adjustable to accommodate cigarette boxes of different sizes and types; simultaneously, the surface of the detection component is prone to dust accumulation or contamination, affecting detection accuracy and reliability.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] This utility model provides a photoelectric detection installation structure for cigarette conveying, such as... Figures 1-5As shown, the device includes a detection component 1 and a reflector 3. The detection component 1 and reflector 3 are arranged opposite each other inside a cigarette conveyor 4. A guide seat 2 is installed on one inner wall of the cigarette conveyor 4, and the reflector 3 is installed on the other inner wall of the cigarette conveyor 4. A groove 21 is provided on the side wall of the guide seat 2. A base 11 is installed on the back of the detection component 1, and an adjusting bolt 12 is installed on the base 11. The adjusting bolt 12 slides with the groove 21 to adjust the height of the detection component 1, and is locked in place by a nut. The photoelectric detection installation structure for cigarette conveying provided by this utility model (including the detection component 1 and the reflector 3) achieves adjustable height of the detection component 1 through the sliding engagement of the groove 21 on the guide seat 2 and the adjusting bolt 12 on the base 11 on the back of the detection component 1, and is locked in place by a nut. This allows for flexible adjustment of the position of the detection component 1 within the cigarette conveyor 4, ensuring accurate relative positioning of the detection component 1 and the reflector 3, and improving the accuracy and reliability of the detection. The specific structure includes: detection component 1, reflector 3, cigarette channel 4, guide seat 2, base 11, and adjusting bolt 12.

[0027] In this embodiment, the interior of the cigarette channel 4 is equipped with a stack of cigarette boxes 6, which is conveyed by a conveyor belt 5. This achieves automated transport of the cigarette boxes 6 and improves production efficiency.

[0028] Specifically, the detection component 1 includes a housing 14, and an infrared module 13 is installed in the middle of the housing 14. The infrared module 13 can emit and receive infrared signals to detect the presence or state of the cigarette box 6, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the detection.

[0029] Furthermore, the infrared module 13 includes an infrared transmitter and an infrared receiver. The infrared transmitter emits a signal, which is reflected by the cigarette box 6 and received by the infrared receiver. The signal is then transmitted to an external control console via a line. This achieves non-contact detection of the cigarette box 6, avoiding the loss and errors caused by physical contact.

[0030] Furthermore, lifting components 15 are installed on both sides of the front of the outer casing 14, and a cleaning brush 16 is installed between the lifting components 15. Driven by the lifting components 15, the cleaning brush 16 can move up and down to clean the surface of the detection component 1, maintaining the cleanliness of the detection component 1 and improving the accuracy of detection. The lifting components 15 include a housing 151, a lead screw 152 is installed inside the housing 151, and a lead screw slider 153 is installed on the lead screw 152. A vertical strip hole is provided on one side of the housing 151, and one side of the lead screw slider 153 slides in cooperation with the strip hole. The outer wall of the lead screw slider 153 is connected to the end of the cleaning brush 16, and the top of the lead screw 152 is driven to rotate by a drive motor 154. By driving the lead screw 152 to rotate by the drive motor 154, the lead screw slider 153 moves up and down on the lead screw 152, driving the lifting and lowering of the cleaning brush 16, realizing the automated lifting and lowering control of the cleaning brush 16.

[0031] Furthermore, the cleaning brush 16 includes a fixing plate 161, with a brush 162 mounted on the bottom of the fixing plate 161. The fixing plate 161 has slots at both ends, and one side of the lead screw slider 153 engages with one of these slots and is locked in place by a locking bolt 163. This structure makes the cleaning brush 16 easy to install and remove, facilitating maintenance and replacement.

[0032] Furthermore, the bristles 162 of the cleaning brush 16 are in contact with the front surface of the detection component 1, and the lifting component 15 drives the cleaning brush 16 to rise and fall, thereby cleaning the surface of the infrared module 13 of the detection component 1. This effectively removes dust and dirt from the surface, maintaining the cleanliness and sensitivity of the detection component 1.

[0033] In use, the photoelectric detection installation structure for cigarette conveying of this utility model first arranges the detection component 1 and the reflector 3 opposite each other inside the cigarette channel 4. A guide seat 2 is installed on one inner wall of the cigarette channel 4, and the reflector 3 is installed on the other inner wall of the cigarette channel 4.

[0034] The guide seat 2 has a sliding groove 21 on its side wall, and a base 11 is mounted on the back of the detection component 1. An adjusting bolt 12 is mounted on the base 11. The height of the detection component 1 can be adjusted by sliding the adjusting bolt 12 with the sliding groove 21. After adjustment, the height is locked in place by a nut to ensure that the position of the detection component 1 is stable within the cigarette channel 4.

[0035] The cigarette channel 4 contains stacks of cigarette boxes 6, which are conveyed by a conveyor belt 5. The infrared module 13 in the detection component 1 emits infrared signals. These signals are reflected by the cigarette boxes 6 and received by an infrared receiver. The signals are then transmitted to an external control console via a line, enabling non-contact detection of the cigarette boxes 6. When a stack collapses, the infrared light is not reflected by the cigarette boxes 6 but instead illuminates a reflector on the other side, where it is received by the infrared receiver. This detects an anomaly, and upon receiving the data, the control console immediately stops the equipment via the host computer.

[0036] The infrared module 13 includes an infrared transmitter and an infrared receiver, which are responsible for transmitting and receiving infrared signals to detect the presence or status of the cigarette box 6.

[0037] Lifting assemblies 15 are installed on both sides of the front of the housing 14, and a cleaning brush 16 is installed between the lifting assemblies 15. The lifting assembly 15 includes a housing 151, a lead screw 152, a lead screw slider 153, and a drive motor 154. The drive motor 154 drives the lead screw 152 to rotate, and the lead screw slider 153 moves up and down on the lead screw 152, thereby raising and lowering the cleaning brush 16. The cleaning brush 16 includes a fixing plate 161 and a brush 162. The fixing plate 161 has slots at both ends, and one side of the lead screw slider 153 engages with one of the slots and is locked in place by a locking bolt 163. The brush 162 of the cleaning brush 16 is in contact with the front surface of the detection assembly 1. The lifting assembly 15 drives the cleaning brush 16 to rise and fall, thereby cleaning the surface of the infrared module 13 of the detection assembly 1, effectively removing dust and dirt from the surface, and maintaining the cleanliness and sensitivity of the detection assembly 1.
