Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cigarette production equipment, and in particular relates to a cigarette stacking detection device for a sorting line. Background Technology

[0002] In the cigarette production process, rolled cigarettes are placed on a sorting conveyor belt for transport, followed by packaging and other processes. During the transport of cigarettes via the sorting conveyor belt, the conveyor belt's transport volume usually needs to be adjusted according to the subsequent packaging progress. The stacking height of cigarettes on the conveyor belt needs to be monitored and controlled in real time. Currently, the commonly used method for controlling the stacking height of cigarettes in cigarette sorting lines is to limit the stacking height of cigarettes by using fixed guide plates. This method is difficult to adjust based on the real-time arrangement, stacking height, and spacing deviation of cigarettes on the sorting line, and it is also impossible to detect the cigarette condition and stacking coverage. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a cigarette stacking detection device for sorting lines, so as to solve the technical problems of the commonly used cigarette sorting line stacking height control method, which restricts the stacking height of cigarettes by a fixed guide plate, making it difficult to adjust according to the real-time arrangement of cigarettes on the sorting line, stacking height, spacing deviation, etc., and unable to detect the cigarette status, stacking coverage, etc.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the specific technical solution of this utility model for a cigarette stacking detection device for a sorting line is as follows:

[0005] A cigarette stacking detection device for a sorting line includes a sorting conveyor belt; baffles are provided on both sides of the sorting conveyor belt; multiple mounting brackets are provided on one side of the sorting conveyor belt; a scanning camera is provided on the top of the mounting bracket extending upwards towards the sorting conveyor belt; two sliding grooves are provided opposite to each other on the baffles on both sides of the sorting conveyor belt; connecting rods are slidably arranged in the two sliding grooves on the two baffles on both sides; guide plates are fixedly provided on the two connecting rods on the upper side of the sorting conveyor belt; support plates are provided opposite to the two connecting rods extending outwards from the baffles and connected to them; a motor is provided on one side of the sorting conveyor belt; a threaded rod extends from the motor shaft and is rotatably connected to the baffle; the threaded rod passes through the support plate and is threadedly connected to the support plate; a height indicator mark is provided on the baffle relative to the position of the scanning camera.

[0006] Furthermore, a cylinder is fixedly mounted downwards on the top of the mounting bracket; the scanning camera is rotatably mounted on the cylinder head.

[0007] Furthermore, the chute is located on one side of the conveying direction of the mounting frame sorting conveyor belt.

[0008] Furthermore, the guide plate has an arc-shaped, upward-arched shape at one end near the mounting bracket.

[0009] This utility model provides a cigarette stacking detection device for a sorting line, which has the following advantages: Multiple mounting frames are installed on one side of the sorting conveyor belt. Scanning cameras mounted on these frames detect and scan the cigarettes passing through the conveyor belt. Combined with height indicator lines positioned on the baffles relative to the scanning cameras, the device can detect the stacking height of the cigarettes and determine their arrangement on the conveyor belt, such as the spacing between cigarettes, their tilt, and whether there is any overlapping. This allows for convenient real-time monitoring of the cigarette stacking height, enabling adjustments based on subsequent packaging and efficiency. The sorting conveyor belt can be shut down and an alarm can be issued to remind staff to handle the situation when the stacking height of cigarettes exceeds the limit. Connecting rods and guide plates are slidably installed in multiple grooves within the baffle. A motor and threaded rod drive a support plate to move the guide plates up and down within the grooves, allowing for free adjustment of the guide plate height. This adjustment is combined with the cigarette stacking height detected by a scanning camera and the number of cigarettes required for subsequent packaging, thus controlling the stacking height of cigarettes on the sorting conveyor belt. This facilitates the supply of cigarettes for subsequent packaging processes and increases work efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0014] To better understand the purpose, structure, and function of this utility model, the following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, provides a more detailed account of a cigarette stacking detection device for a sorting line.

[0015] like Figure 1-3As shown, this utility model discloses a cigarette stacking detection device for a sorting line, comprising a sorting conveyor belt 1; baffles 2 are provided on both sides of the sorting conveyor belt 1; multiple mounting frames 3 are provided on one side of the sorting conveyor belt 1; a scanning camera 4 extends from the top of the mounting frame 3 towards the upper side of the sorting conveyor belt 1; two chute 5 are provided opposite to each other on the baffles 2 on both sides of the sorting conveyor belt 1; connecting rods 6 are slidably provided in the two chute 5 on the two chute 5 on the two baffles 2 on both sides; guide plates 7 are fixedly provided on the upper side of the two connecting rods 6; support plates 8 are provided connecting to the two connecting rods 6 extending to the outside of the baffles 2; a motor 9 is provided on one side of the sorting conveyor belt 1; a threaded rod 10 extends from the shaft of the motor 9 and is rotatably connected to the baffle 2; the threaded rod 10 passes through the support plate 8 and is threadedly connected to the support plate 8; a height indicator line 11 is provided on the baffle 2 opposite to the scanning camera 4; the chute 5 is provided on the side of the mounting frame 3 on the conveying direction of the sorting conveyor belt 1.

[0016] Combination Figure 1-3 As shown, during operation, cigarettes are transported via the sorting conveyor belt 1. Baffles 2 on both sides of the conveyor belt 1 restrict the position of the cigarettes, preventing them from falling off. The cigarettes pass through multiple mounting brackets 3 and then reach the guide plate 7. During this process, scanning cameras 4 mounted on the mounting brackets 3 detect and scan the cigarettes passing through the conveyor belt 1. Height indicator lines 11 positioned on the baffles relative to the scanning cameras 4 can detect the stacking height of the cigarettes and determine their arrangement on the conveyor belt 1, such as the spacing between cigarettes, the degree of inclination, and whether there is any overlapping. This allows for convenient real-time monitoring of the cigarette stacking height, adjusting the conveyor belt 1's speed based on subsequent packaging and efficiency. When the cigarette stacking height exceeds the limit, the conveyor belt 1 can be shut down immediately, and an alarm can be triggered to alert staff.

[0017] A connecting rod 6 and a guide plate 7 are slidably installed within multiple grooves 5 of the baffle 2. A motor 9 and a threaded rod 10 drive a support plate 8, which in turn drives the guide plate 7 to slide up and down within the grooves 5. The height of the guide plate 7 can be freely adjusted. This adjustment, combined with the cigarette stacking height detected by the scanning camera 4 and the required number of cigarettes for subsequent packaging, controls the stacking height of cigarettes on the sorting conveyor belt 1. This facilitates the supply of cigarettes for subsequent packaging processes, increasing work efficiency.

[0018] The mounting bracket 3 has a cylinder 12 fixedly mounted on the top and facing downwards; the scanning camera 4 is rotatably mounted on the cylinder head of the cylinder 12. The rotatable scanning camera 4 makes it easier to adjust the shooting and scanning angle. In conjunction with the cylinder 12, the height of the scanning camera 4 can be freely adjusted, increasing the detection field of view to cover all cigarettes and ensuring sufficient shooting and scanning clarity. It is easy to dynamically adjust according to the number of cigarettes and the thickness of the cigarettes.

[0019] The guide plate 7 is close to the mounting frame 3 at one end in an arc shape that arches upwards. The arc shape of the guide plate 7 guides the cigarettes stacked on the sorting conveyor belt 1 to the lower side of the guide plate 7, thereby realizing the function of controlling the stacking height of cigarettes and making it easier to control the amount of cigarettes conveyed.
