Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tobacco manufacturing technology, and in particular to a device for collecting defective cigarette packs and a carton sealing machine. Background Technology

[0002] In tobacco industry logistics and packaging, carton sealing machines are widely used in the product packaging process to improve packaging efficiency and quality. With the implementation of QR codes by the State Tobacco Monopoly Administration and the increasing market demands for product quality and traceability, carton sealing machines must not only complete the basic sealing task but also inspect the QR codes and appearance of the cigarette packs to ensure they are clear, complete, and compliant with standards. If problems such as unreadable QR codes or defects in the appearance of the cigarette packs occur during the cigarette packing process, unqualified products must be promptly removed to ensure the quality of products entering the market. Currently, carton sealing machines handle both QR code removal and appearance removal. Existing defective product collection devices cannot meet current production needs. Defective cigarette packs enter from the top of the collection device, are easily ejected, and the current collection device does not differentiate between defective product categories. After a pack of cigarettes is removed, the operator cannot confirm whether it was removed due to an abnormal QR code or an abnormal appearance.

[0033] In tobacco industry logistics and packaging, carton sealing machines are widely used in the product packaging process to improve packaging efficiency and quality. With the implementation of QR codes by the State Tobacco Monopoly Administration and the increasing market demands for product quality and traceability, carton sealing machines must not only complete the basic sealing task but also inspect the QR codes and appearance of the cigarette packs to ensure they are clear, complete, and compliant with standards. If problems such as unreadable QR codes or defects in the appearance of the cigarette packs occur during the cigarette packing process, unqualified products must be promptly removed to ensure the quality of products entering the market. Currently, carton sealing machines handle both QR code removal and appearance removal. Existing defective product collection devices cannot meet current production needs. Defective cigarette packs enter from the top of the collection device, are easily ejected, and the current collection device does not differentiate between defective product categories. After a pack of cigarettes is removed, the operator cannot confirm whether it was removed due to an abnormal QR code or an abnormal appearance.

[0034] To address the aforementioned problems, this embodiment provides a defective cigarette pack collection device, capable of classifying and collecting defective cigarette packs while preventing them from popping out. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the defective cigarette collection device includes a box body 10 and a partition plate 20. The partition plate 20 divides the interior of the box body 10 into two independent collection spaces 11. The top of the box body 10 is closed, and two entrances 12 are opened on the upper front side. The entrances 12 are connected to the collection spaces 11 one by one, and the two types of defective cigarettes can enter the corresponding collection spaces 11 from the corresponding entrances 12 respectively.

[0035] The aforementioned defective cigarette collection device, by setting a partition plate 20 in the box body 10, allows two different defective products detected from upstream to enter two separate collection spaces 11, with the first type entering through one inlet 12 and the second type entering through the other inlet 12, thus preventing the two types of defective products from being mixed up. In addition, the inlet 12 is located on the front side of the box body 10, and the top of the box body 10 is closed to prevent the cigarette packs from popping out from the top.

[0036] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, the box 10 includes a main body 13 and a cover 14. At least a portion of the top of the main body 13 is open. The cover 14 is fastened to the top of the main body 13 and forms an entrance 12 with the main body 13. The cover 14 is transparent. With the above arrangement, the cover 14 can not only cover the top opening of the main body 13, but also allow the operator to see the inside of the collection space 11 and then take out the cigarette pack.

[0037] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, the main body 13 includes a frame 131 and a baffle 132. Each side of the frame 131, except for the top side, is provided with a baffle 132 to cover the corresponding side of the frame 131. The above arrangement facilitates the manufacturing of the main body 13. Specifically, the frame 131 is made of hollow profile. The connection of the frame 131 can be achieved by locking connection, insertion and riveting, etc., which are not limited here.

[0038] Optionally, some baffles 132 are embedded in the corresponding frame 131, that is, the frame 131 has an embedding groove. During the assembly of the frame 131, the corresponding baffle 132 is first embedded in the embedding groove, and then the frame 131 is assembled in place.

[0039] In other embodiments, the baffle 132 may also be connected to the corresponding side of the frame 131 by welding, bolting or other fixing methods, which are not limited here.

[0040] In the existing technology, without a cover 14, the operator takes out the cigarette pack from the top. At this time, the upstream is still removing defective cigarette packs, which may easily hit the operator's arm.

[0041] To address the aforementioned issues, a first baffle 133 is installed on the left side of frame 131, and a second baffle 132 (not labeled) is installed on the right side of frame 131. Both the first baffle 133 and the second baffle can open or close the corresponding side of frame 131. With this configuration, when there are enough cigarette packs in the collection space 11, opening the first baffle 133 and the second baffle allows the cigarette packs in the corresponding collection space 11 to be removed from the side, preventing cigarette packs falling from the top from hitting the operator.

[0042] Optionally, one side of the first baffle 133 is hinged to the frame 131, and the other side is magnetically or snap-fitted to the frame 131, so that the first baffle 133 can open or close the corresponding collection space 11.

[0043] Optionally, one side of the second baffle is hinged to the frame 131, and the other side is magnetically or snap-fitted to the frame 131, so that the second baffle can open or close the corresponding collection space 11.

[0044] In other embodiments, the first baffle 133 and the side of the frame 131 corresponding to the second baffle can also be connected by a snap-fit ​​connection, which is not limited here.

[0045] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, the cover 14 is U-shaped, with both ends connected to the left and right sides of the main body 13. At least the front side of the main body 13 is lower than the rear side, so that the front side of the main body 13 and the cover 14 form an entrance 12. Therefore, the rear side of the main body 13 can serve as a limiting position for the cover 14. During installation, the bottom of the top surface of the cover 14 abuts against the top of the rear side of the main body 13, making the installation of the cover 14 more convenient and faster. In this embodiment, the rear side of the main body 13 is higher, while the front, left, and right sides are of equal height. In other embodiments, the front side of the main body 13 forms a groove, meaning the rear, left, and right sides of the main body 13 are of equal height, with the front side being lower. This allows the left and right sides to also provide support for the installation of the cover 14.

[0046] Optionally, the cover 14 is sealed to the body 13, thereby providing better dust protection.

[0047] Specifically, the cover 14 and the body 13 are connected by adhesive, which allows for quick installation of the cover 14 and also ensures a seal at the connection point. In other embodiments, the cover 14 and the body 13 can also be connected by screws with a sealing gasket between them to achieve a seal, which is not limited here.

[0048] Furthermore, the cover 14 is made of high-strength transparent plastic material, which can effectively protect the internal components of the main body 13 and prevent external dust and debris from entering, while also allowing operators to clearly observe the rejection of products inside the box.

[0049] Optionally, the inner walls of the collection space 11 are provided with buffers 15. This can prevent the cigarette packs from colliding sharply with the inner walls during their entry into the collection space 11, which could damage the cigarette packs or cause their surface to collapse.

[0050] In this embodiment, the cushioning element 15 is a sponge. In other embodiments, the cushioning element 15 may also be a flexible fabric, cushioning mesh, cushioning foam, etc., which are not limited here.

[0051] Optionally, the defective cigarette collection device also includes four bases 30, which are respectively connected to the four corners of the bottom side of the frame 131 to support the entire box 10. In another optional embodiment, the bases 30 can also be replaced by casters, which is not limited here.

[0052] This embodiment also provides a carton sealing machine, which includes the aforementioned defective cigarette collection device and a detection device. The detection device is located downstream of the defective cigarette collection device and is used to detect qualified cigarettes, cigarettes with appearance defects, and cigarettes with barcode defects. Cigarettes with appearance defects can enter the corresponding collection space 11 through one of the inlets 12, and cigarettes with barcode defects can enter the corresponding collection space 11 through the other inlet 12. By employing the aforementioned defective cigarette collection device, the carton sealing machine allows operators to easily categorize defective cigarettes after removal, facilitating subsequent remediation of defects in the cigarette cartons.

[0053] Specifically, after inspection, the testing device can use three conveyor systems to transport qualified products, products with poor appearance, and products with poor barcodes respectively. The ends of the conveyor systems for products with poor appearance and products with poor barcodes are set up one-to-one with the two inlets 12.

[0054] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
