[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a cigarette pack inspection fixture for detecting the position of the transparent paper opening strip and the position of the transparent paper overlap on the outside of the cigarette pack. The cigarette pack inspection fixture includes a cigarette pack inspection fixture body, on which the cigarette pack can be placed. The cigarette pack inspection fixture body is provided with a first detection interval 1 and a second detection interval 2 at intervals. The first detection interval 1 can detect the position of the transparent paper opening strip, and the second detection interval 2 can detect the position of the transparent paper overlap.
[0029] During inspection, the opening strip of the transparent paper on the outside of the cigarette pack is aligned with the first inspection zone 1. If the opening strip does not exceed the inspection range of the first inspection zone 1, the position of the opening strip is acceptable; if it exceeds the inspection range, the position is unacceptable. The overlap of the transparent paper is then aligned with the second inspection zone 2. If the overlap does not exceed the inspection range of the second inspection zone 2, the position is acceptable; if it does, the position is unacceptable. This cigarette pack inspection fixture has a simple measurement method. By using the first inspection zone 1 and the second inspection zone 2, it can quickly and accurately detect whether the position of the opening strip and the overlap of the transparent paper on the outside of the cigarette pack meets the requirements, improving inspection efficiency and the accuracy of the results, and ensuring the pass rate of the cigarette pack's appearance quality. Furthermore, this cigarette pack inspection fixture has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture.
[0030] Specifically, the cigarette pack inspection fixture body has a rectangular structure, and its specific dimensions are determined according to the dimensions of the cigarette pack; this embodiment does not limit this. In other embodiments, the cigarette pack inspection fixture body can also be a U-shaped or L-shaped structure. The cigarette pack inspection fixture body is manufactured using 3D printing, which is simple and low-cost.
[0031] Optionally, the main body of the cigarette pack testing fixture is made of acrylic. Acrylic is lightweight, which can effectively reduce the weight of the main body of the cigarette pack testing fixture and improve its portability.
[0032] Alternatively, the body of the cigarette pack inspection fixture may be made of a transparent material, which allows the fixture to maintain good visibility and facilitates observation of the first inspection zone 1, the second inspection zone 2, and the details of the cigarette pack.
[0033] Optionally, the cigarette pack inspection fixture body is provided with a groove 3 for placing the cigarette pack, so that the cigarette pack can be stably placed on the cigarette pack inspection fixture body, which facilitates the inspection of the position of the transparent paper opening strip and the position of the transparent paper overlap on the outside of the cigarette pack.
[0034] Specifically, the groove 3 has a cuboid structure. The size of the groove 3 is the same as the size of the cigarette pack. The cigarette pack can be placed inside the groove 3 through the opening, and the outside of the cigarette pack fits against the side wall of the groove 3 to prevent the cigarette pack from shaking inside the groove 3.
[0035] Optionally, two parallel first scale lines 11 are provided on the side wall of the groove 3. The two first scale lines 11 together form a first detection zone 1, which corresponds to the transparent paper opening strip. During testing, the cigarette pack is placed in the groove 3, with the transparent paper opening strip corresponding to the first detection zone 1. If the transparent paper opening strip is located between the two first scale lines 11, that is, within the first detection zone 1, then the position of the transparent paper opening strip meets the requirements. If the transparent paper opening strip exceeds the range of the first detection zone 1, then the position of the transparent paper opening strip does not meet the requirements. Specifically, the distance between the two first scale lines 11 is set according to the width of the transparent paper opening strip, and the position of the first scale lines 11 is set according to the specific packaging form. This embodiment does not limit this.
[0036] Optionally, there are two first detection zones 1, which are respectively located on two opposite side walls of the groove 3, so as to simultaneously detect the transparent paper opening strips on both sides of the cigarette pack and improve detection efficiency.
[0037] Optionally, two parallel second scale lines 21 are provided on the side wall of the groove 3. The two second scale lines 21 together form a second detection zone 2, which corresponds to the opening of the transparent paper. During testing, the cigarette pack is placed in the groove 3, with the opening of the transparent paper corresponding to the second detection zone 2. If the opening of the transparent paper is located between the two second scale lines 21, that is, within the second detection zone 2, then the position of the transparent paper opening meets the requirements. If the opening of the transparent paper exceeds the range of the second detection zone 2, then the position of the transparent paper opening does not meet the requirements. Specifically, the distance between the two second scale lines 21 is set according to the width of the transparent paper opening, and the position of the second scale lines 21 is set according to the specific packaging form. This embodiment does not limit this.
[0038] Specifically, the side wall where the second scale line 21 is set is adjacent to the side wall where the first scale line 11 is set, that is, the second scale line 21 and the first scale line 11 are not set on the same side wall. When the cigarette pack is placed in the groove 3, the first detection zone 1 and the second detection zone 2 can simultaneously detect the transparent paper opening strip and the transparent paper overlap, thereby improving detection efficiency.
[0039] Optionally, there are two second detection zones 2, which are respectively located on two opposite side walls of the groove 3, enabling simultaneous detection of the transparent paper overlap at both ends of the cigarette pack, thereby improving detection efficiency.
[0040] Optionally, the bottom wall of the groove 3 is provided with a through hole 4, which facilitates the pushing of the cigarette pack out of the groove 3. Specifically, the through hole 4 is an oblong hole, which gives the through hole 4 a larger size, further facilitating the push of the cigarette pack out of the groove 3 by the staff.
[0041] This embodiment also provides a packaging machine, which includes a testing platform and the aforementioned cigarette pack testing fixture, the cigarette pack testing fixture being disposed on the testing platform. During testing, the cigarette pack testing fixture is placed on the testing platform, and the cigarette pack is placed in the groove 3, thereby detecting the position of the transparent paper opening tape and the position of the transparent paper overlap on the outside of the cigarette pack. Specifically, the packaging machine model is FOCKE-FXS.
