[0002] In existing technologies, the desiccant removal method involves manual opening and pouring of the desiccant, combined with a semi-automatic conveyor line and detection. Operators manually open the packaging box lid, pour the desiccant into a designated area, and then transport the box via a conveyor belt or simple mechanical structure. However, key steps still require manual intervention, using manual methods, weight sensors, or simple photoelectric sensors to determine desiccant residue. The above methods have the following shortcomings:

[0003] (1) Inefficiency: Manual operation speed is limited and it is difficult to match the needs of high-speed production lines;

[0004] (2) Dust hazards: Desiccant dust can easily spread during the dumping process, threatening the respiratory health of operators;

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the preferred embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, so as to facilitate the understanding of those skilled in the art.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the desiccant dispensing device includes a desiccant adding mechanism 1, a desiccant pushing mechanism 2, a desiccant opening and conveying mechanism 3, a desiccant receiving mechanism 4, a desiccant residue rejection receiving box 5, a finished desiccant output mechanism 6, a finished desiccant lifting mechanism 7, and a desiccant residue detection and rejection mechanism 8.

[0029] The carton pushing mechanism 2 is installed on the rear side of the carton adding mechanism 1. A carton opening and conveying mechanism 3 is provided on the front side of the carton adding mechanism 1. The carton opening and conveying mechanism 3 is configured as a reciprocating conveying structure along the pushing direction of the carton pushing mechanism 2. A desiccant receiving mechanism 4 is provided at the bottom of the front end of the carton opening and conveying mechanism 3. A feeding plate is installed on the rear outlet frame. A carton rejection receiving box 5 with residual desiccant is provided on the lower side of the feeding plate. A finished carton output mechanism 6 is provided on the lower side of the carton opening and conveying mechanism 3 in front of the carton rejection receiving box 5 with residual desiccant. A finished carton output mechanism 6 is provided on the lower side of the carton opening and conveying mechanism 3 in front of the carton rejection receiving box 5 with residual desiccant. A finished carton lifting mechanism 7 is installed on the discharge end of the finished carton output mechanism 6. A desiccant residue detection and rejection mechanism 8 is installed between the desiccant receiving mechanism 4 and the finished carton output mechanism 6.

[0030] The carton feeding mechanism 1 is a conveyor belt with baffles. The carton pushing mechanism 2 includes a linear guide rail 21 and a push plate 22. The linear guide rail 21 is installed on the upper side of the carton feeding mechanism 1 perpendicular to the conveying direction of the carton feeding mechanism 1. The push plate 22 is installed at its rear end and corresponds to the carton on the carton feeding mechanism 1.

[0031] During operation, cigarette cartons are added manually or by machine to the carton adding mechanism 1. The linear guide 21 controls the push plate 22 to push the cigarette cartons on the carton adding mechanism 1 to the carton opening and conveying mechanism 3. When the carton opening and conveying mechanism 3 opens the carton and conveys it above the desiccant receiving mechanism 4, the desiccant falls into the desiccant receiving mechanism 4. The empty carton continues to be conveyed to the finished carton output mechanism 6. During the process of the empty carton passing through the desiccant residue detection and rejection mechanism 8, the desiccant residue detection and rejection mechanism 8 detects that there is still desiccant in the carton. When the desiccant residue detection and rejection mechanism 8 detects that there is still desiccant in the carton, the desiccant residue detection and rejection mechanism 8 rejects the corresponding carton on the finished carton output mechanism 6 and slides from the feeding plate to the carton rejection receiving box 5. When the desiccant residue detection and rejection mechanism 8 does not detect that there is still desiccant in the carton, the empty carton is conveyed through the finished carton output mechanism 6 to the finished carton lifting mechanism 7, and then conveyed to the next process through the finished carton lifting mechanism 7.

[0032] The control system described above is a conventional control system and will not be described in detail here.

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the carton opening and conveying mechanism 3 includes an annular conveyor belt 31, an opening suction cup assembly 32, a limiting device 33, a limiting seat 34, and an opening cover plate 35. The annular conveyor belt 31 is installed on the front side of the carton adding mechanism 1 corresponding to the push plate 22, and the conveying direction is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the carton adding mechanism 1. The opening suction cup assembly 32 is installed on the upper side of the annular conveyor belt 31, and the opening cover plate 35 is installed on the front section of the annular conveyor belt 31. One side of the opening cover plate 35 is connected to one side baffle of the annular conveyor belt 31, and the other side is connected to the other side of the annular conveyor belt 31. A slot is left between the baffles on one side for the carton cover to pass through. The distance between the cover plate 35 and the surface of the annular conveyor belt 31 is matched with the thickness of the carton. One end of the cover plate 35 near the cover suction cup assembly 32 is equipped with a limiting device 33 through the limiting seat 34. The other end of the cover plate 35 is directly above the desiccant receiving mechanism 4, and a carton support rod is connected between its rear end and the top of the finished carton output mechanism 6. The carton support rod is located on both sides of the annular conveyor belt 31 and the distance between them is less than the width of the carton. A pressure rod is provided at the rear end of the carton support rod for closing the carton cover.

[0034] During operation, the carton is pushed onto the circular conveyor belt 31 by the push plate 22. The opening suction cup assembly 32 opens the carton cover, and then the limiting device 33 restricts the carton cover to the open state. Next, the carton is between the opening cover plate 35 and the surface of the circular conveyor belt 31. The opening cover plate 35 can prevent the desiccant from falling and also prevent dust. During this process, the carton cover is in the slot left between the opening cover plate 35 and the baffle of the circular conveyor belt 31. When it reaches above the desiccant receiving mechanism 4, the carton support rod supports both sides of the carton, and the desiccant falls onto the desiccant receiving mechanism 4. The empty carton continues to run to the finished carton output mechanism 6 by the circular conveyor belt 31. During this process, the pressure rod closes the carton cover.

[0035] In some embodiments, the desiccant receiving mechanism 4 includes a desiccant conveyor belt 41 and a desiccant collection box 42. The desiccant conveyor belt 41 is installed on the lower front end of the carton opening conveyor mechanism 3, and its conveying direction is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the annular conveyor belt 31. The desiccant collection box 42 is provided at the lower part of the conveying end of the desiccant conveyor belt 41.

[0036] During operation, the desiccant falls from the desiccant box opening and conveying mechanism 3 onto the desiccant conveyor belt 41, which then transports the desiccant to the desiccant collection box 42 for collection.

[0037] In some embodiments, the finished carton output mechanism 6 includes a finished carton output flat belt 61 and a finished carton output hook belt 62. The finished carton output flat belt 61 is located at the lower part of the rear end of the carton support rod, and its conveying direction is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the annular conveyor belt 31. The finished carton output hook belt 62 is provided on the upper side of the conveying end of the finished carton output flat belt 61. The conveying direction of the finished carton output hook belt 62 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the finished carton output flat belt 61. Hooks with a spacing greater than the length of the carton are provided on the belt surface of the finished carton output hook belt 62. A finished carton lifting mechanism 7 is installed at the conveying end of the finished carton output hook belt 62. The end belt surface of the finished carton lifting mechanism 7 is flush with the belt surface of the finished carton output flat belt 61.

[0038] The desiccant residue detection and rejection mechanism 8 includes a five-camera monitoring system 81 and a rejection cylinder 82. The five-camera monitoring system 81 is installed at an angle upward on the lower side of the annular conveyor belt 31, and its monitoring head corresponds to the inner side of the open strip box on the lower side of the annular conveyor belt 31. The rejection cylinder 82 is installed on the front side of the finished strip box output flat belt 61 and is electrically connected to the five-camera monitoring system 81. The rejection direction of the rejection cylinder 82 is towards the material feeding plate.

[0039] During operation, when the five-camera monitoring system 81 detects that there is still desiccant in the carton, the rejection cylinder 82 rejects the corresponding carton on the finished carton output flat belt 61, and it slides down from the feeding plate to the carton rejection receiving box 5. When the five-camera monitoring system 81 does not detect that there is still desiccant in the carton, the empty carton is conveyed through the finished carton output flat belt 61 to the finished carton output hook plate belt 62 at its end, and then pushed by the hook plate on the finished carton output hook plate belt 62 to the finished carton lifting mechanism 7, and then conveyed to the next process by the finished carton lifting mechanism 7.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above preferred embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail through the above preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes can be made to it in form and detail without departing from the scope defined by the claims of this utility model.
