Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cigarette packaging machine carton beautification container technology, and in particular to a carton beautification container detection alarm device. Background Technology

[0002] After the cigarette packaging machine completes the folding and packaging of the outer transparent paper of the carton, it first performs a heat sealing by a heat sealing iron. The carton with CV completed (i.e., the transparent paper wrapping and heat sealing process) then enters the beautification channel, where a beautification iron performs a second beautification heat sealing to make the transparent paper packaging more aesthetically pleasing.

[0003] Currently, the beautifying device at the CV outlet of cigarette packaging machines consists of two pairs of four soldering irons placed opposite each other to complete the heat sealing of the carton's upper and lower planes and left and right end transparent paper. When the vertically moving soldering iron of the beautifying device is not in operation, it needs to be higher than the top of the carton to facilitate the carton's entry into the beautifying device body. However, during long-term operation, wear and tear on the cylinder and solenoid valve used to drive the soldering iron can sometimes lead to side leakage at the cylinder edge, malfunction of the solenoid valve, or improper air pressure adjustment. All of these factors affect the accuracy of the soldering iron's lifting position, causing the carton to collide or rub against the edge of the soldering iron, resulting in damage to the carton. Since this damage is not easily detected during the high-speed operation of the packaging machine, damaged cartons proceed to the next process, seriously affecting product quality. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a detection alarm device for beauty device strips, which solves the problem that in the prior art, the strips collide or rub against the edge of the soldering iron of the beauty device, causing damage to the strips. In the high-speed operation of the packaging machine, the damage is not easily detected, and the damaged strips enter the next process, which seriously affects the quality of the product.

[0005] This utility model solves the above-mentioned technical problems through the following technical means: a carton beauty container detection alarm device, including a beauty container body, the beauty container body is set in the conveying channel of the CV outlet of the cigarette packaging machine, and the beauty container body is provided with an upper soldering iron;

[0006] It also includes a strip box detection module for detecting the height position of the strip box, a soldering iron detection module for detecting the height position of the soldering iron, and a controller. The strip box detection module and the soldering iron detection module are respectively signal-connected to the controller, wherein:

[0007] The carton detection module includes a height detection device, which includes a swing arm rotatably mounted above the conveying channel. The swing arm is equipped with a return spring and a proximity switch. The bottom of the swing arm is provided with a limiting surface, and the initial height of the limiting surface is greater than the standard height of the carton.

[0008] The soldering iron detection module includes a guide limiting device, which includes magnetic guide wheels disposed on both sides of the upper soldering iron, and guide rails disposed on both sides of the conveying channel. Magnetic switches are disposed at the end points of the travel of both ends of the guide rails.

[0009] Optionally, the limiting surface facing the carton has an inclined section and a flat section on one side, and the initial height is based on the flat section. This prevents the carton from being directly jammed when there are occasional instances of the carton exceeding its height by a large margin, reducing potential damage to the carton.

[0010] Optionally, the magnetic guide wheel is radially magnetized, so that the outer surface of the roller and the inner hole of the magnetic guide wheel are two magnetic poles respectively. This ensures the magnetic pole strength, allowing the magnetic switch to be triggered.

[0011] Optionally, when the magnetic guide wheel is at the end of its travel at both ends, there is a gap between it and the magnetic switch.

[0012] Optionally, the controller is connected to an alarm device. When the proximity switch is triggered or the magnetic switch is not triggered, the controller controls the alarm device to issue an alarm.

[0013] Optionally, the alarm device is an audible and visual alarm, used to alert operators.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] This invention incorporates a carton detection module for detecting the height of the carton, a soldering iron detection module for detecting the height of the soldering iron, and a controller. A height detection device with a swing arm structure detects the height of the carton and issues an alarm for excessively tall cartons, preventing collision risks. A guide wheel structure with a guide limit device monitors the lifting position of the soldering iron in real time. Specifically, when the soldering iron reaches a designated travel position, the magnetic switch is activated, and the controller receives the activation signal without issuing an alarm signal. Conversely, if the controller does not receive the activation signal, it issues an alarm signal. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can understand the advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and represent schematic diagrams, not actual pictures.

To better illustrate the embodiments of this utility model, some components in the figures may be omitted, enlarged, or reduced, and do not represent the actual product dimensions. It is understandable that some well-known structures and their descriptions may be omitted in the figures for those skilled in the art.

[0021] In the figures of this utility model embodiment, the same or similar reference numerals correspond to the same or similar components. In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that if terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "front", "rear", etc. indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the figure, they are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the terms used to describe the positional relationship in the figure are only for illustrative purposes and should not be construed as limiting this utility model. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above-mentioned terms can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0022] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this utility model discloses a carton cosmetic container detection alarm device, which includes a cosmetic container body. The cosmetic container body is set in the conveying channel of the CV outlet of the cigarette packaging machine. The cosmetic container body is provided with an upper soldering iron 11. The upper soldering iron 11 is driven by a vertically set cylinder to realize reciprocating motion in the vertical direction, thereby driving the upper soldering iron 11 to be lifted and lowered. The cylinder is controlled by a solenoid valve.

[0023] In this embodiment, it also includes a carton detection module for detecting the height position of the carton, a soldering iron detection module for detecting the height position of the soldering iron 11, and a controller. The carton detection module and the soldering iron detection module are respectively connected to the controller via signals. The controller can also be connected to the main unit of the cigarette packaging machine.

[0024] Specifically, the carton detection module includes a height detection device, which comprises a swing arm 21 rotatably mounted above the conveyor channel. The swing arm 21 has a return spring 22 and a proximity switch 23. A limiting surface 211 is located at the bottom of the swing arm 21, and the initial height of the limiting surface 211 is greater than the standard height of the carton. When the carton height is normal, the proximity switch 23 is not triggered, and the carton passes through normally. When the carton height exceeds the limit, the carton contacts the limiting surface 211, lifting the swing arm 21 and triggering the proximity switch 23. The controller then issues an alarm signal. For example, the alarm signal can be transmitted to the cigarette packaging machine or an alarm device to control the conveyor channel to slow down or stop, or to alert the operator via the alarm device. It should be understood that in existing technologies, an out-of-height carton can also be directly rejected by setting up a rejection device, preventing it from entering the downstream packaging area.

[0025] Specifically, the soldering iron detection module includes a guide limiting device, which comprises magnetic guide wheels 31 disposed on both sides of the upper soldering iron 11, and guide rails 32 disposed on both sides of the corresponding conveying channel. Magnetic switches 33 are disposed at the end points of the travel of both ends of the guide rails 32. Since the cylinder push rod can only withstand axial thrust, but in actual operation there may be lateral interference or lack of guiding constraint that accelerates cylinder wear, the guide wheel structure can control the linearity of the movement of the upper soldering iron 11, ensuring that the upper soldering iron 11 rises and falls vertically, thereby reducing wear and extending service life. The rolling friction of the guide wheel structure also hardly interferes with the operation of the cylinder.

[0026] In this embodiment, the limiting surface 211 has a sloping section and a flat section on the side facing the carton. The initial height is based on the flat section. When the carton occasionally exceeds the height by a large amount, the carton is prevented from being directly stuck, reducing the potential damage to the carton.

[0027] In this embodiment, the magnetic guide wheel 31 is radially magnetized, so that the outer surface and inner hole of the magnetic guide wheel 31 are two magnetic poles respectively. When the magnetic guide wheel 31 is at the end of its stroke, there is a gap between it and the magnetic switch 33. The movement of the carton in the conveying channel is "stepping". The magnetic switch 33 can be identified by the synchronization signal of the encoder of the cigarette packaging machine. For example, after the cylinder is lifted to the position, the magnetic switch 33 is turned on, the controller receives the on signal and does not issue an alarm signal, and the cigarette packaging machine operates normally. Conversely, when the magnetic switch 33 is not turned on within the signal cycle of the encoder (indicating that the lifting of the soldering iron has not reached the specified stroke position), the controller does not receive the on signal and issues an alarm signal.

[0028] In this embodiment, the controller is connected to an alarm device. When the proximity switch 23 is triggered or the magnetic switch 33 is not triggered, the controller controls the alarm device to sound an alarm. For example, the alarm device is an audible and visual alarm, used to remind operators to check the quality of the strip box, and, if necessary, to remind maintenance workers to check and troubleshoot mechanical and electrical faults.

[0029] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0030] When using the inspection alarm device of this utility model, if the height of the carton at the CV outlet of the cigarette packaging machine is normal before entering the body of the beauty container, it will pass through the height detection device normally. If the height of the carton exceeds the standard height due to deformation or other faults, the carton will contact the limiting surface 211, lift the swing arm 21, trigger the proximity switch 23, and the controller will issue an alarm signal.

[0031] When the cylinder of the soldering iron 11 is raised to the position, the magnetic switch 33 is turned on. The controller receives the on signal and does not issue an alarm signal. The cigarette packaging machine then operates normally, and the carton enters the beauty container for beauty treatment. Conversely, if the magnetic switch 33 is not turned on within the encoder's signal cycle, the controller does not receive the on signal and issues an alarm signal.

[0032] During this process, both alarm signals (or logic) can be transmitted to the controller, and then to the cigarette packaging machine or alarm device to control the conveyor channel to slow down or stop, or to alert the operator through the alarm device.

[0033] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model. Technologies, shapes, and structural parts not described in detail in this utility model are all known technologies.
