[0024] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0025] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The foldable cigarette box appearance inspection device provided by this utility model will now be described. The foldable cigarette box appearance inspection device includes: a base 1, multiple sliding plates 7, a folding and lifting assembly 3, and a bracket 4. The multiple sliding plates 7 are slidably mounted on the base 1 and arranged in pairs opposite each other. One of the sliding plates 7 is designated as the inspection plate, which is horizontally positioned and used to store the cigarette box. The folding and lifting assembly 3 is mounted on the base 1. The bracket 4 is mounted on top of the folding and lifting assembly 3, located above the inspection plate. The bracket 4 contains an inspection element for detecting the appearance of the cigarette box; the folding and lifting assembly 3 is used to horizontally adjust the height of the bracket 4.

[0026] The advantages of the foldable cigarette box appearance inspection device provided by this utility model are as follows: Compared with the prior art, in the foldable cigarette box appearance inspection device of this utility model, multiple slide plates 7 are slidably mounted on the base 1, and the multiple slide plates 7 are arranged opposite each other in pairs. One of the slide plates 7 is designated as the inspection plate, and the inspection plate is horizontally positioned. A folding and lifting assembly 3 is installed on the base 1, and a bracket 4 is installed at the top of the folding and lifting assembly and located above the inspection plate.

[0027] In practical applications, the detection element for inspecting the appearance of cigarette boxes is snapped into the bracket 4. At this time, the detection element is located above the detection plate, and cigarette boxes are placed on the slide plate 7. By sequentially positioning the cigarette boxes on the detection plate, the appearance of the cigarette boxes can be inspected. The folding and lifting assembly 3 can horizontally change the height of the bracket 4. As the height of the bracket 4 changes, the corresponding detection element can remain parallel to the detection plate, thus ensuring the accuracy of the inspection results. This application has a simple structure, can ensure the horizontal state of the detection element under different height conditions, and the entire device is easy to store, occupies a small volume, and has a high level of integration.

[0028] In some embodiments of the foldable cigarette box appearance inspection device provided in this application, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The top surface of the base 1 has a groove that slides and engages with the slide plate 7. The detection plate is horizontally set, and the groove on the top surface of the base 1 is also horizontally set. In application, cigarette boxes on the other slide plates 7 can be placed on the detection plate one by one to achieve the detection of multiple cigarette boxes.

[0029] When the height of bracket 4 needs to be adjusted, the folding and lifting assembly 3 is activated. It smoothly and horizontally adjusts the height of bracket 4 to adapt to different inspection heights. As the height of bracket 4 changes, the detection element inside it moves up and down accordingly, always maintaining the optimal inspection position for the cigarette boxes on the inspection plate. Once bracket 4 is adjusted to the appropriate height, the detection element begins to accurately inspect the appearance of the cigarette boxes on the inspection plate, comprehensively acquiring various information about the cigarette box appearance through various inspection methods such as visual inspection and dimensional measurement. After inspection, the cigarette boxes on the inspection plate can be removed, and the remaining cigarette boxes on the slide 7 can be placed on the inspection plate in sequence for the next round of inspection. This cycle is repeated, greatly improving the efficiency and accuracy of cigarette box appearance inspection.

[0030] In some embodiments of the foldable cigarette box appearance inspection device provided in this application, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2The device has multiple sliding grooves arranged sequentially along the height of the base 1. During use, the slide plate 7 needs to slide into the corresponding groove. Taking two slide plates 7 as an example, the two grooves are on the same horizontal plane. For easy storage, the slide plate 7 can slide out of the groove, at which point there are two corresponding grooves, and the slide plate 7 can slide into the two grooves sequentially, thus achieving stacking and convenient storage. Based on the above-mentioned foldable cigarette box appearance inspection device, to further improve the stability of the device, an anti-slip pad is also provided at the bottom of the base 1. The anti-slip pad is made of wear-resistant rubber material, has good anti-slip performance, and can effectively prevent the device from sliding or shifting during use. At the same time, to facilitate operation and maintenance by operators, operation buttons and indicator lights are also provided on the side of the base 1. The operation buttons are used to control the sliding of the slide plate 7, the raising and lowering of the folding lifting assembly 3, and the start and stop of other related functions. The indicator lights are used to display the working status of the device, such as power status and fault status. These design features ensure that the foldable cigarette box appearance inspection device not only has convenient storage capabilities but also stable performance and a user-friendly operating experience.

[0031] In some embodiments of the foldable cigarette box appearance inspection device provided in this application, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 A magnetic chuck 8 is installed on the slide plate 7. The magnetic chuck 8 is used to attract and position adjacent slide plates 7 during storage. By setting the magnetic chuck 8 on the slide plate 7, it can be used for initial positioning of the device holding the cigarette box, and the magnetic chuck 8 facilitates the positioning of adjacent slide plates 7, achieving positioning of the slide plates 7 within the base 1 through magnetic force. At the same time, the setting of the magnetic chuck 8 also increases the stability of the entire device, preventing the slide plates 7 from shaking or shifting during the detection process. When the slide plates 7 need to be unfolded, the magnetic force of the magnetic chuck 8 can maintain the stability between the two slide plates 7. Furthermore, the position and number of magnetic chuck 8 can be adjusted and optimized according to actual needs to meet the detection requirements of cigarette boxes of different sizes and specifications. In practical applications, the magnetic chuck 8 can be made of permanent magnet material, possessing strong magnetic force and stability, and can maintain good performance over a long period.

[0032] In some embodiments of the foldable cigarette box appearance inspection device provided in this application, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The two opposing slide plates 7 are detachably connected, and the top surface of the detection plate is used to install the clips for attaching cigarette boxes. The two adjacent slide plates 7 can be connected by magnets or spliced ​​by slots and blocks. After splicing, the two slide plates 7 can form a relatively wide flat surface, which is convenient for personnel to operate.

[0033] To further improve the stability of the device, an anti-slip pad is installed at the bottom of the base 1. The anti-slip pad is made of rubber and has good friction, which can effectively prevent the device from sliding during use. At the same time, to facilitate the inspection of the appearance of the cigarette box by the inspectors, a lighting device is also installed on the side of the bracket 4. The lighting device uses LED beads to provide sufficient light, allowing the inspectors to clearly observe the appearance details of the cigarette box.

[0034] In addition, to improve the automation level of the device, a motor and transmission mechanism are also set in the folding and lifting assembly 3. The motor drives the support 4 to move up and down through the transmission mechanism, realizing the automatic adjustment of the height of the support 4 and improving the detection efficiency.

[0035] During the use of the device, the cigarette box is first placed on the sliding plate 7. The sliding plate 7 then moves the cigarette box to the detection plate, where it is secured by clips. At this point, the folding and lifting assembly 3 is activated, raising the support 4 to a suitable height. The detection element is then inserted into the support 4, and the appearance of the cigarette box is inspected. After the inspection is complete, the folding and lifting assembly 3 lowers the support 4 back to its initial position, and the cigarette box is removed from the detection plate, completing the entire inspection process. Normally, once the detection element is positioned, its spatial position remains unchanged, unless inspecting cigarette boxes of different sizes.

[0036] Through the above design, the foldable cigarette box appearance inspection device provided in this application has the advantages of simple structure, convenient operation, good stability and high degree of automation, which can meet the needs of cigarette box appearance inspection and improve inspection efficiency and quality.

[0037] In some embodiments of the foldable cigarette box appearance inspection device provided in this application, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2The folding and lifting assembly 3 includes two sets of fork arms 301; the two sets of fork arms 301 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the detection plate. The two fork arms 301 jointly support the bracket 4. Each set of fork arms 301 consists of two arms, which are arranged in an X-shape. The bottom of each fork arm 301 is hinged to the base 1, and the top is hinged to the connecting plate 302. The two sets of fork arms 301 move simultaneously to ensure the connecting plate 302 is horizontal. The connecting plate 302 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the bracket 4. The cross movement of the two sets of fork arms 301 drives the connecting plate 302 to move up and down, thereby achieving the lifting and lowering of the bracket 4. When it is necessary to inspect the appearance of the cigarette box, the folding and lifting assembly 3 is activated, and the two sets of fork arms 301 unfold outward, driving the connecting plate 302 to rise, so that the bracket 4 is raised to a suitable height, so that the detection element can be accurately engaged in the bracket 4 to inspect the appearance of the cigarette box; after the inspection is completed, the two sets of fork arms 301 of the folding and lifting assembly 3 retract inward, driving the connecting plate 302 to descend, so that the bracket 4 returns to the initial position, which facilitates the storage and movement of the device.

[0038] In some embodiments of the foldable cigarette box appearance inspection device provided in this application, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 Each set of fork arms 301 has a connecting plate 302 mounted on its top, and the top of each set of fork arms 301 is slidably mounted on the connecting plate 302. A bracket 4 is mounted on two connecting plates 302. The bracket 4 can slide a certain distance relative to the connecting plate 302 to adjust the coverage area of ​​the detection plate, ensuring accurate reading of the cigarette box's external dimensions. During the detection process, the bracket 4 is moved up and down by controlling the folding lifting assembly 3 to detect cigarette boxes of different heights. When different specifications of cigarette boxes need to be detected, the sliding plate 7 on the base 1 can be used to adjust different sliding plates 7 to the detection position to store cigarette boxes of the corresponding specifications. Simultaneously, the sliding adjustment of the bracket 4 relative to the connecting plate 302 can accurately position the detection element according to the actual placement and size of the cigarette box, ensuring accurate detection of various parts of the cigarette box's appearance, improving the accuracy and efficiency of the detection, and providing reliable data support for the production quality control of cigarette boxes.

[0039] In some embodiments of the foldable cigarette box appearance inspection device provided in this application, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2A slider is hinged to the top of the fork arm 301, and the slider is slidably mounted on the connecting plate 302. The purpose of the slider is to ensure stable support for the connecting plate 302 and to ensure that the connecting plate 302 does not deflect and remains horizontal during the adjustment of the angle of the fork arm 301. The sliding of the slider on the connecting plate 302 enables flexible connection and relative movement between the fork arm 301 and the connecting plate 302. This sliding design allows the fork arm 301 to evenly transmit force to the connecting plate 302 during angle adjustment through the smooth sliding of the slider, thus ensuring that the connecting plate 302 remains horizontal. Even if the angle of the fork arm 301 changes, the slider can slide accordingly on the connecting plate 302 to adjust its position in time, maintaining the horizontal state of the connecting plate 302, providing a reliable foundation for the stable operation of the subsequent cigarette box appearance inspection device.

[0040] In some embodiments of the foldable cigarette box appearance inspection device provided in this application, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 A positioning block 6 is fixed on the slider, and multiple positioning holes 5 are provided on the connecting plate 302 to engage with the positioning block 6. When the slider slides to the designated position, it engages with the corresponding positioning hole 5, thereby achieving the positioning of the slider and the connecting plate 302. After the slider is positioned, the spatial angle of the corresponding fork arm 301 is determined, and the position of the bracket 4 is also determined. In the above-mentioned foldable cigarette box appearance inspection device, the precise positioning of the slider and the connecting plate 302 is achieved through the engagement of the positioning block 6 and the positioning hole 5. This design not only improves the stability of the device but also makes the position adjustment of the bracket 4 more accurate. After the position of the bracket 4 is determined, the detection element can be accurately engaged in the bracket 4 for efficient inspection of the cigarette box appearance. The folding lifting assembly 3 can flexibly adjust the height of the bracket 4 according to different specifications of cigarette boxes to ensure that the detection element can make good contact with all parts of the cigarette box, thereby obtaining comprehensive and accurate inspection data. This foldable design allows the device to be folded up when not in use, saving space and making it convenient to carry and store, bringing great convenience to the cigarette box appearance inspection work.

[0041] In some embodiments of the foldable cigarette box appearance inspection device provided in this application, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2Multiple suction cups 2 are installed beneath the base 1. The presence of multiple suction cups 2 ensures the stability of the base 1. When the device is subjected to external interference or slight shaking during operation, the suction cups 2 can firmly adhere to the working surface, preventing the base 1 from moving and thus ensuring the accuracy and stability of the inspection process. The multiple suction cups 2 are evenly distributed beneath the base 1, providing a wider support area and allowing the device to remain stable in various working environments. This effectively avoids inspection errors caused by the movement of the base 1, providing a reliable foundation for the inspection of cigarette box appearance.

[0042] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are 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.
