[0021] The following description is exemplary in nature and is not intended to limit the scope, application, or use of this disclosure. It should be understood that in all these figures, the same or similar reference numerals indicate the same or similar parts and features. The figures are merely schematic representations of the concept and principles of embodiments of this disclosure and do not necessarily show the specific dimensions and scale of the various embodiments of this disclosure. Certain details or structures of embodiments of this disclosure may be exaggerated in particular portions of certain figures.

[0022] Reference Figure 1-4 A cigarette pack shape detection device includes a vision detection component 4, a first conveying mechanism 1, a second conveying mechanism 2, and a support platform 3. The first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2 are distributed on both sides of the support platform 3. The first conveying mechanism 1 includes a support plate 11, a conveyor belt 12, and a roller group 13. The conveyor belt 12 is tactilely connected to the support plate 11 through the roller group 13, and the end of the conveyor belt 12 facing the second conveying mechanism 2 is conveyed in an inclined direction. The second conveying mechanism 2 and the first conveying mechanism 1 have the same structure. Two vision detection components 4 are provided, and the two vision detection components 4 are respectively fixed above the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2. The two vision detection components 4 are used to detect the two sides of the cigarette pack 6.

[0023] Specifically, the visual inspection component 4 includes a support platform 41 and a camera 42. The support platform 41 is fixed on the support plate 11, and the camera 42 is fixed through the support platform 41.

[0024] For example, the cigarette pack 6 is conveyed from the first conveying mechanism 1 to the area below the first visual inspection component 4 for the first side inspection. After the cigarette pack 6 continues to be conveyed to the end of the first conveying mechanism 1, since the end of the first conveying mechanism 1 is inclined, the cigarette pack 6 is in an inclined state when it is conveyed to the support 3. The cigarette pack 6 following on the first conveying mechanism 1 pushes the inclined cigarette pack 6 on the support 3, so that the cigarette pack 6 is reversed and placed on the second conveying mechanism 2. The second conveying mechanism 2 continues to convey the reversed cigarette pack 6 to the area below the second visual inspection component 4 for the second side inspection.

[0025] The purpose is to achieve the reverse side of the tobacco pack 6 by simply changing the conveying direction at the end of the first conveying mechanism 1 and pushing it with the following tobacco pack 6, without the need for additional mechanical structures and electronic controls. The structure is simple, easy to maintain, and low in cost.

[0026] It is worth mentioning that the camera 42 is electrically connected to an external computer via a wire. The image recognition technology in the computer identifies whether the shape of the cigarette pack is qualified by taking pictures of the cigarette pack. The shooting frequency of the camera 42 is automatically taken by determining the position of the cigarette pack 6. For example, the position of the cigarette pack 6 is determined by installing a proximity switch or an infrared grating on the support platform 41. The determination of the position of the cigarette pack 6 and the image recognition technology are both known and publicly available technologies, and will not be elaborated on here.

[0027] For details, please refer to Figure 2 As shown, the roller group 13 includes a first support roller 131, a second support roller 132, and a reversing roller 133. The ends of the first support roller 131, the second support roller 132, and the reversing roller 133 are all rotatably connected to the support plate 11. The first support roller 131 and the second support roller 132 are horizontally distributed. The reversing roller 133 is used to adjust the conveyor belt 12 to convey in an inclined direction. A servo motor 5 is fixed on the outer surface of the support plate 11. The output end of the servo motor 5 is fixedly connected to the reversing roller 133. For example, by driving the reversing roller 133 to rotate through the servo motor 5, the conveyor belt 12 can be driven to roll, thereby conveying the cigarette pack 6.

[0028] Furthermore, the first conveying mechanism 1 also includes a guide plate 14, with a guide rod 144 fixed on the outer surface of the guide plate 14. The guide plate 14 is slidably connected to the support plate 11 through the guide rod 144. There are two guide plates 14, which are distributed opposite to each other. An adjustment component is mounted on the outer surface of the guide plate 14. The adjustment component is used to adjust the distance between the two guide plates 14. By adjusting the distance between the two guide plates 14, it can adapt to the conveying of cigarette packs 6 of different sizes.

[0029] For details, please refer to Figure 3 As shown, the adjustment assembly includes a lead screw 141, the end of which is rotatably connected to a guide plate 14, and a threaded sleeve 142 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the lead screw 141, and the threaded sleeve 142 is fixed to the support plate 11; the adjustment assembly also includes a handwheel 143, which is fixed to the end of the lead screw 141, and a connecting sleeve 1411 is rotatably connected to the end of the lead screw 141 away from the handwheel 143, and the connecting sleeve 1411 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the guide plate 14;

[0030] For example, when it is necessary to adjust the distance between the two guide plates 14, simply hold the handwheel 143 and rotate it to drive the lead screw 141 to rotate. By utilizing the thread action between the lead screw 141 and the thread sleeve 142, the position of the lead screw 141 within the thread sleeve 142 can be controlled, thereby adjusting the position of the guide plate 14.

[0031] The exemplary implementation of the solution proposed in this disclosure has been described in detail above with reference to preferred embodiments. However, those skilled in the art will understand that various modifications and alterations can be made to the above specific embodiments without departing from the spirit of this disclosure, and various combinations can be made to the various technical features and structures proposed in this disclosure without exceeding the protection scope of this disclosure, which is determined by the appended claims.
