DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more clear, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0027] As Figures 1-6 shown, one embodiment of the present application proposes a defect detection device for cigarette box printing, which comprises:

[0028] The transmission seat 1 is rotatably provided with transmission rollers 2 at both ends, and the transmission belt 3 is wound on the two transmission rollers 2, preferably, in actual use, the end of one of the transmission rollers 2 is connected with a motor provided on the transmission seat 1, the motor works to drive the transmission of the transmission belt 3, a plurality of air holes 4 are arrayed through the transmission surface of the transmission belt 3, the industrial camera 5 is provided on the transmission seat 1 through a mounting bracket, preferably, the industrial camera 5 adopts a high-resolution CCD camera, which can clearly capture the details on the surface of the cigarette box, and the industrial computer and image processing software matched with the industrial camera 5 are provided on the transmission seat 1, which can identify defects according to the images collected by the industrial camera 5, when the cigarette box is detected for defects, the cigarette box is placed on the transmission belt 3 for transmission, the industrial camera 5 collects images of the cigarette box, and then the collected images are identified through the industrial computer and image processing software, so as to complete the defect detection;

[0029] The adsorbing and impurity removing mechanism 6 comprises a negative pressure box 601 arranged on the transmission seat 1, the negative pressure box 601 is connected between the inner walls of the transmission seat 1 through a connecting rod, and the negative pressure box 601 is located between the upper and lower transmission sections of the transmission belt 3, the negative pressure box 601 is in strip shape and corresponds to the air holes 4, the top of the negative pressure box 601 is open and abuts and overlaps with the upper transmission section of the transmission belt 3, a partition plate 602 is arranged in the negative pressure box 601, a plurality of fans 603 are arranged on the partition plate 602, the fans 603 blow air downward, two guide plates 604 are arranged on the transmission seat 1, the bottom of the negative pressure box 601 is in communication with a plurality of air pipes 605 through the two guide plates 604, when the cigarette boxes are transmitted, the cigarette boxes are placed on the transmission belt 3 and located between the two guide plates 604, the two guide plates 604 guide the cigarette boxes to avoid left and right deviation of the cigarette boxes, at the same time, the cigarette boxes are just located above the air holes 4 (after the cigarette boxes are arranged in sequence, there is a certain distance between the cigarette boxes and the air holes 4 are not completely covered), when the transmission belt 3 is transmitted, the plurality of fans 603 work at the same time and blow air downward, because the fans 603 blow air downward, the air flow in the outside flows into the negative pressure box 601 through the air holes 4 on the transmission belt 3, it needs to be explained that, under the premise that the air holes 4 on the top of the negative pressure box 601 are not blocked by the cigarette boxes, the total air inlet amount of the plurality of air holes 4 is less than the air outlet amount of the fans 603, and the air inlet amount is less than the air outlet amount due to the blockage of the cigarette boxes, therefore, the negative pressure box 601 generates negative pressure, the negative pressure acts on the cigarette boxes through the air holes 4, so that the cigarette boxes are tightly attached to the transmission belt 3, under the limiting of the guide plates 604, when the transmission belt 3 is transmitted, the cigarette boxes do not deviate left and right, and the edges of the cigarette boxes do not have the phenomena of edge lifting and edge turning, which ensures the flat and stable transmission of the cigarette boxes, the industrial camera 5 is below the cigarette boxes, which ensures the effective and stable collection of images, at the same time, the air flow blown downward through the air pipes 605 connected between the guide plates 604 and the bottom of the negative pressure box 601, so that the surface of the cigarette boxes is blown, so that the paper scraps and other impurities on the surface of the cigarette boxes are blown away, which ensures that the collection of images is not affected, so as to ensure effective detection;

[0030] The rejection mechanism 7 is arranged on the transmission seat 1 and is used for removing the cigarette boxes with defects from the transmission belt 3, preferably, the rejection mechanism 7 is used in cooperation with the industrial computer, when the defective products (with defects) are detected, the rejection mechanism 7 removes the defective products from the transmission belt 3, and the normal good products continue to be transmitted by the transmission belt 3, so as to be used for subsequent processing;

[0031] In the scheme, two guide plates 604 are arranged to preliminarily guide the cigarette case to prevent deviation during transmission. Then, the negative pressure box 601 cooperates with the air holes 4 on the transmission belt 3 to adsorb the cigarette case on the surface of the transmission belt 3 by negative pressure. When the transmission belt 3 is transmitted at high speed, the cigarette case will not be displaced, warped or turned up due to the wind pressure generated by high-speed movement, ensuring that it passes stably and flatly below the industrial camera 5. Then, the discharged air blows the surface of the cigarette case to avoid the influence of paper scraps and other impurities on image acquisition, thereby ensuring the detection result.

[0032] As shown in Figure 2 , in some embodiments, a screw rod 8 is screwed through the transmission seat 1, the guide plates 604 are rotationally connected to the ends of the screw rod 8, and a guide rod 9 slidingly penetrating the transmission seat 1 is arranged on the guide plate 604. By rotating and moving the screw rod 8, the guide plate 604 is horizontally moved under the sliding guidance of the guide rod 9, thereby driving the guide plate 604 to slide. The two guide plates 604 can be adjusted to adjust the distance between them, so as to adapt to cigarette cases of different sizes, thereby improving the practicability.

[0033] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 4 , in some embodiments, the communication ports of the guide plates 604 and the air pipes 605 are inclined downward, and the communication ports on the two guide plates 604 are staggered. By inclining the communication ports of the guide plates 604 and the air pipes 605 downward, the airflow sprayed through the air pipes 605 blows obliquely on the surface of the cigarette case. Since the cigarette case is adsorbed on the transmission belt 3 by negative pressure, the obliquely blowing airflow blows on the surface of the cigarette case, blowing away impurities while giving the cigarette case a downward air pressure. By using this air pressure, the cigarette case can be more firmly attached to the transmission belt 3. The communication ports on the two guide plates 604 are staggered to avoid convection caused by airflows on both sides, thereby improving the practicability.

[0034] As shown in Figure 3 , in some embodiments, a light shielding box 10 is arranged on the transmission seat 1, and the industrial camera 5 is located in the light shielding box 10. A fill light 11 is arranged in the light shielding box 10. By arranging the light shielding box 10 and the fill light 11 in the light shielding box 10, the influence of external light on the light in the light shielding box 10 can be avoided, and the fill light 11 can be used for lighting, so that the industrial camera 5 can capture the patterns on the cigarette case more clearly, thereby improving the practicability.

[0035] As shown in Figure 3 , in some embodiments, the fill light 11 is a ring-shaped LED lamp, and the fill light 11 is arranged on the inner top wall of the light shielding box 10 and coaxial with the industrial camera 5. The fill light 11 is a ring-shaped LED lamp, which makes the illumination clearer. The ring shape and coaxiality with the industrial camera 5 can uniformly illuminate the surface of the cigarette case, reducing shadow interference, thereby improving the practicability.

[0036] As Figure 2 shown, in some embodiments, the rejection mechanism 7 includes an electric push rod 701 arranged on one side of the transmission seat 1, the piston end of the electric push rod 701 is provided with a push plate 702, the side of the transmission seat 1 away from the electric push rod 701 is provided with a notch and a collection frame 703, when a defective cigarette case is detected and the cigarette case is transmitted to the position of the electric push rod 701, the electric push rod 701 quickly operates one stroke (its piston rod first protrudes and then retracts), the piston rod drives the push plate 702 to hit the cigarette case, so that the cigarette case is pushed from the transmission belt 3 into the collection frame 703, thereby realizing the rejection operation of defective products.

[0037] As Figure 3 and Figure 6 shown, in some embodiments, a plurality of guide rollers 12 are arranged on the transmission seat 1, the upper transmission section of the transmission belt 3 is sequentially arranged around the plurality of guide rollers 12, so that the upper transmission section of the transmission belt 3 has a notch when transmitting, and the push plate 702 is located in the notch. Figure 6 As shown, the number of guide rollers 12 is three, which forms a V-shaped notch for the transmission belt 3, and the cigarette case can normally pass through the V-shaped notch. By configuring the notch and locating the push plate 702 in the notch, even if the cigarette case is thin, the push plate 702 can effectively push the cigarette case for rejection, and at the same time, the push plate 702 can avoid rubbing and scratching the transmission belt 3, so as to ensure that the transmission belt 3 can normally transmit.

[0038] Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, a limiting plate 13 is arranged on the transmission seat 1 through a mounting frame, the limiting plate 13 is provided with an avoiding slot 14, preferably, the limiting plate 13 is horizontally arranged above the transmission belt 3, and the limiting plate 13 has a gap with the transmission belt 3, which is sufficient for the cigarette case to pass through normally, the avoiding slot 14 corresponds to the push plate 702, so that the push plate 702 can move along the avoiding slot 14. Since the cigarette case is thin, when the push plate 702 pushes the cigarette case at high speed, the cigarette case is easily affected by wind pressure and flies and stays on the transmission belt 3. By arranging the limiting plate 13, the push plate 702 can limit the cigarette case when pushing the defective cigarette case, so as to avoid the cigarette case from flying, so that the cigarette case can effectively separate from the transmission belt 3, thereby improving the practicability.

[0039] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables a person skilled in the art to implement or use the present application. Various modifications to these embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein can be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present application. Therefore, the present application will not be limited to these embodiments shown herein, but will conform to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
