[0027] Example 1

[0028] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution:

[0029] A device for detecting damage to the inner lining paper 4 of a cigar box 7, comprising at least, but not limited to, a detection camera 1, a detection light source 2, and a support frame 3, wherein the detection camera 1 and the detection light source 2 are mounted on the rear end face of the inner lining paper 4 to be detected via the support frame 3.

[0030] Based on the above structure, the detection camera 1 takes pictures of the damage level of the cut and packaged inner lining paper 4, and the detection light source 2 provides supplementary lighting for the inner lining paper 4, so that the detection camera 1 can more clearly take pictures of each end face of the inner lining paper 4. The support frame 3 supports the detection camera 1 and the detection light source 2. This solution takes pictures of the inner lining paper 4 by the detection camera 1, which facilitates subsequent automated judgment and avoids the problems of high cost, low efficiency and easy error caused by manual inspection.

[0031] As an example, the support frame 3 may include a first support rod 31, a second support rod 32, and a third support rod 33. A first connector 34 is provided between the first support rod 31 and the second support rod 32, and the first connector 34 is movable along the length direction of the first support rod 31. The first support rod 31 and the second support rod 32 are arranged perpendicularly by the first connector 34. A second connector 35 is provided between the second support rod 32 and the third support rod 33, and the second connector 35 is movable along the length direction of the second support rod 32. The second support rod 32 and the third support rod 33 are arranged perpendicularly by a second member, and the third support rod 33 is able to freely extend and retract within the second connector 35. An adjustment frame 36 is provided on the third support rod 33, which is in direct contact with the detection camera 1 and the detection light source 2. The adjustment frame 36 is rotatable around the third support rod 33.

[0032] Based on the above structure, the first connector 34 can move along the length of the first support rod 31, giving the overall support frame 3 lateral adjustment capability. The second connector 35 can move along the length of the second support rod 32, giving the overall support frame 3 vertical adjustment capability. The third support rod 33 can freely extend and retract within the second connector 35, giving the overall support frame 3 longitudinal adjustment capability. Finally, the adjustment frame 36 can rotate around the third support rod 33, allowing it to adjust the angles of the detection camera 1 and the detection light source 2. Through multiple adjustment mechanisms, the adjustment of the detection camera 1 and the detection light source 2 becomes more flexible, reducing the difficulty of installation and maintenance.

[0033] As an example, the first connector 34 may include a first through hole 341, a second through hole 342, a first gap groove 343, a second gap groove 344, a first locking hole 345, and a second locking hole 346; the first gap groove 343 connects the side wall of the first connector 344 and the first through hole 341 respectively, and the first locking hole 345 is set perpendicular to the first gap groove 343; the second gap groove 344 connects the side wall of the first connector 34 and the second through hole 342 respectively, and the second locking hole 346 is set perpendicular to the second gap groove 344.

[0034] Based on the above structure, the first support rod 31 is inserted into the first through hole 341 for connection, and the second support rod 32 is inserted into the second through hole 342 for connection. The first support rod 31 is locked on the first connector 34 by passing a bolt through the first locking hole 345. Similarly, the second support rod 32 is locked on the second connector 35 by passing a bolt through the second locking hole 346.

[0035] As an example, the second connector 35 may include a third through hole 351, a fourth through hole 352, a first abutting hole 353, and a second abutting hole 354; the second support rod 32 passes through the third through hole 351 and is connected to the second connector 35; the first abutting hole 353 extends from the end face of the second connector 35 into the third through hole 351; the third support rod 33 passes through the fourth through hole 352 and is connected to the second connector 35; the second abutting hole 354 extends from the end face of the second connector 35 into the fourth through hole 352; and abutting bolts are provided in the first abutting hole 353 and the second abutting hole 354 to lock the second support rod 32 and the third support rod 33.

[0036] Based on the above structure, the second support rod 32 and the third support rod 33 are respectively inserted into the third through hole 351 and the fourth through hole 352 to achieve connection with the second connector 35. At the same time, since they are through holes, the second support rod 32 and the third support rod 33 can extend, retract and rotate around the third through hole 351 and the fourth through hole 352, making it easier to adjust.

[0037] As an example, the adjustment frame 36 may include a main support frame 361 and an auxiliary frame 362; the main support frame 361 is provided with a fifth through hole and a third abutment hole 363 connected to the third support rod 33, the auxiliary frame 362 is fixed on the main support frame 361, and the third abutment hole 363 extends from the end plate of the main support frame 361 to the fifth through hole, and the third support rod 33 and the main support frame 361 are locked by abutment bolts.

[0038] The auxiliary frame 362 may include a first end face 364 and a second end face 365. The first end face 364 and the second end face 365 are set at a predetermined angle. The first end face 364 is provided with a through hole for connecting to the detection camera 1, and the second end face 365 is provided with a through hole for connecting to the detection light source 2.

[0039] Based on the above structure, the detection camera 1 and the detection light source 2 can be connected through the auxiliary frame 362. At the same time, through the multi-level flexible adjustment structure, the detection camera 1 and the detection light source 2 can be adjusted efficiently, so that the detection camera 1 can more accurately detect the damage to the inner lining paper 4 to be tested.

[0040] As an example, detection camera 1 can perform real-time image acquisition using two high-speed area scan cameras, with a camera frame rate of 560fps. All image acquisition is based on a packaging machine production speed of 420 cigarettes / minute. The maximum frame rate of the area scan cameras used is greater than 10 times the cigarette production speed to obtain instantaneous images of the inner liner paper 4. According to the production cycle of the cigar packaging machine, real-time images of the inner liner paper 4 before it is placed into the box are obtained using an external triggering method. The higher the frame rate of the camera, the shorter the minimum exposure time, the less motion blur is generated during high-speed photography, and the higher the accuracy of the algorithm's judgment.

[0041] As an example, the detection light source 2 uses a 24V light source controller to control one light source to cooperate with the camera to acquire images. The light source used is a white cold light source. According to the production cycle of the cigar packaging machine, the light source is triggered by external triggering for short exposure to acquire high-quality images.

[0042] Example 2

[0043] Based on the detection device described in Embodiment 1 above, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution:

The paper cutter assembly 6 is disposed on the pusher assembly 5 and the cigar box 7. The detection device is disposed near the bottom of the paper cutter assembly 6. The pusher assembly 5 is capable of pushing the upstream cigars into the cigar box 7 according to a predetermined specification.

[0045] Based on the above structure, the paper cutting component 6 cuts the inner lining paper 4 to a predetermined length in a predetermined area, and the pushing component 5 pushes batches of cigars into the cigarette box 7. During the pushing process, the cut inner lining paper 4 is pushed into the cigarette box 7 together, and the detection device detects the inner lining paper 4.

[0046] As an example, the feeding assembly 5 may include a power component 51, a limiting plate 52, and a pushing plate 53; the limiting plate 52 is disposed at one end of the pushing plate 53, and the output end of the power component 51 is connected to the pushing plate 53.

[0047] Based on the above structure, the limit plate 52 restricts the extreme position of the cigar. As the cigars are gradually transported from upstream, when a specified number of cigars have been transported, the power component 51 is activated, causing the push plate 53 to send the specified number of cigars, along with the inner lining paper 4, into the cigarette box 7.

[0048] As an example, the power component 51 can be an electric telescopic rod, a telescopic hydraulic cylinder, or a telescopic pneumatic cylinder.

[0049] As an example, the paper cutting assembly 6 may include a feed roll 61, a support arc plate 62, a cutting roller 63, and an auxiliary roller 64; the center of the feed roll 61 is fixed to the support plate by a rotating shaft, the support arc plate 62 is set close to the cutting roller 63, the horizontal height of the highest position of the support arc plate 62 is not lower than the horizontal height of the highest position of the cutting roller 63, the roller surfaces of the cutting roller 63 and the auxiliary roller 64 are arranged in contact with each other, and cutters 65 are evenly arranged in the circumferential position of the cutting roller 63.

[0050] Based on the above structure, the feed roll 61 provides the inner paper material as a whole, the support arc plate 62 supports the output inner paper, and the inner liner paper 4 passes through the contact surface of the cutting roller 63 and the auxiliary roller 64. When the cutting roller 63 rotates, it can pull the inner liner paper 4 on the one hand, and the cutter 65 can cut the inner liner paper 4 to a predetermined length on the other hand. Finally, it automatically falls to the predetermined length and is pushed into the cigarette box 7 in conjunction with the cigar.

[0051] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
