[0002] During the cigarette logistics process, cigarette products are transported on conveyor belts. However, during this process, dust, cigarette residue, and other impurities accumulate on the surface of the conveyor belt. The accumulation of these impurities not only affects the service life of the conveyor belt but may also adversely affect the quality of the cigarette products.

[0003] In existing technologies, there is a lack of effective automated cleaning methods. Traditional manual cleaning not only consumes a lot of manpower, but also results in untimely and incomplete cleaning, leading to the accumulation of impurities, affecting the service life of the conveyor belt, and increasing equipment maintenance costs.

The spacing between adjacent dust collection ports 76 is 5-10 cm. The lower input end of the dust collection device 73 and the upper output end of the dust collection ports 76 are located at the bottom and top of the dust collection ports 76, respectively. A suction channel 77 is fixedly connected between the ends; the internal shaft of the electric drive wheel 71 and the corresponding position of the drive wheel frame 72 are rotatably connected, and the outer wall of the electric drive wheel 71 and the outer wall of the slide rod 5 are rolled together; the suction channel 77 adopts an electrically controllable telescopic pipe structure design, and the top of the suction channel 77 is fixedly connected to the input end interface of the suction device 73, and the bottom of the suction channel 77 and the upper output end of the suction port 76 are also fixedly connected; when the electric drive wheel 71 is powered on, its outer wall is rolled together with the outer wall of the slide rod 5, driving the entire cleaning structure 7 to move along the slide rod 5, the suction device 73 is turned on, and the suction port 76 evenly distributed below is used to clean the surface of the conveyor belt 4 through the suction channel 77.

[0031] The front sleeve 63 is made of elastic material and has anti-slip texture on its inner wall, which can firmly lock and fix the detection module 64, while facilitating the insertion and removal of the detection module 64.

[0032] Specifically, the surface of the conveyor belt 4 is provided with anti-slip protrusions, which are distributed in a rectangular array and have a height of 2-3 mm. These protrusions can effectively prevent cigarettes from slipping on the conveyor belt and ensure the stability of the conveying process. During the conveying process of cigarettes placed on the conveyor belt 4, the anti-slip protrusions with a rectangular array distribution and a height of 2-3 mm play a role in effectively preventing cigarettes from slipping on the conveyor belt, ensuring the stability of the conveying process, avoiding situations such as cigarette position deviation and stacking, improving logistics efficiency, and ensuring the smooth progress of subsequent processes.

At the same time, the detection module 64 (a TOF camera with intelligent recognition function) is activated to detect the position, quantity, and impurity distribution of the cigarettes on the conveyor belt in real time, and transmits the data to the equipment control device; if it is necessary to adjust the position of the detection module 64, the handwheel at the end of the adjusting screw 65 is rotated to drive the front retaining sleeve 63 and the detection module 64 to move. After adjustment, the adjusting screw 65 is locked with the locking bolt 66 to fix the position of the detection module 64.

[0034] When it is necessary to clean the dust and soot on the conveyor belt 4, the control device starts the cleaning structure 7 based on the data fed back by the detection module 64. The electric drive wheel 71 is powered on, and the outer wall of the wheel rolls against the outer wall of the slide bar 5, which drives the cleaning structure 7 to move along the slide bar 5. The dust collection device 73 (centrifugal dust collection fan) is started. Through the electrically controllable telescopic dust collection channel 77, the dust collection ports 76 evenly distributed under the lower horizontal frame 74 are used to thoroughly clean the surface of the conveyor belt 4, removing dust, soot and other impurities.

[0035] The conveyor belt 4 continuously transports cigarettes, while the detection module 64 and the cleaning structure 7 work in cycles to detect and clean the conveyor belt 4 in real time, ensuring a stable and clean cigarette transport process.

[0036] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
