Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0057] In the description of this application, it should be understood that if terms such as "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" appear, these terms indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0058] Furthermore, where the terms "first" and "second" appear, these terms are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, where the term "multiple" appears, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0059] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0060] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the use of descriptions such as "above" or "below" the second feature indicates that the first and second features are in direct contact or indirect contact via an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. Similarly, "below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0061] It should be noted that if an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. If an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. If so, the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0062] See Figure 1 As shown, one embodiment of this application provides a cigarette box quality inspection device, including a transport section (not shown), a support frame 1, an inspection section 2, and a rejection section 3. The transport section is used to transport cigarette boxes 4 containing cigarettes; the support frame 1 is disposed on one side of the transport section; the inspection section 2 is mounted on the support frame 1 and is movable along the height direction of the support frame 1; the inspection section 2 is used to inspect the cigarette boxes 4 on the transport section; the rejection section 3 is located downstream of the inspection section 2 along the transport direction of the transport section; the rejection section 3 is mounted on the support frame 1 and is movable along the height direction of the support frame 1; the rejection section 3 is used to reject the unqualified cigarette boxes 4 detected by the inspection section 2 from the transport section.

[0063] The cigarette pack quality inspection device provided in this application embodiment has a support frame 1 located on one side of the transport section, an inspection section 2 installed on the support frame 1, the inspection section 2 being able to move along the height direction of the support frame 1, and a rejection section 3 installed on the support frame 1, the rejection section 3 being able to move along the height direction of the support frame 1, and the rejection section 3 being located downstream of the inspection section 2 along the transport direction of the transport section. Thus, before the transport section is operational, the inspection section 2 and the rejection section 3 can be moved along the height direction of the support frame 1 as needed, so that the inspection section 2 is positioned at a preset height above the transport section, and the rejection section 3 is basically flush with or slightly higher than the transport surface of the transport section, so that the inspection section 2 can inspect the cigarette boxes 4 containing cigarettes on the transport section, and the rejection section 3 can remove the unqualified cigarette boxes 4 detected by the inspection section 2 from the transport section; during the operation of the transport section, the transport section moves the cigarette boxes 4 containing cigarettes, and the inspection section 2 inspects the quality of the cigarette boxes 4. When the quality of the cigarette boxes is found to be unqualified, the rejection section 3 removes the unqualified cigarette boxes 4 from the transport section; compared with manual inspection, the cooperation of the inspection section 2 and the rejection section 3 can greatly improve the accuracy and efficiency of inspection and greatly reduce the inspection cost.

[0064] Understandably, the transport section may include a conveying mechanism, such as a belt conveyor. The cigarettes may be cigars; therefore, the detection device of this application can be used to detect the quality of cigar boxes.

[0065] In one embodiment, see [reference] Figure 1As shown, the support frame 1 includes a first support member 11, a first connector 12, and a second connector 13. The first support member 11 is located on one side of the transport section. The first connector 12 is movable along the height direction of the first support member 11. The first connector 12 extends toward the transport section. The detection section 2 is mounted on the first connector 12. The second connector 13 is movable along the height direction of the first support member 11. The second connector 13 extends along the transport direction of the transport section. The rejection section 3 is mounted on the second connector 13.

[0066] Thus, the first connector 12 and the second connector 13 facilitate the installation of the detection unit 2 and the rejection unit 3; by moving the first connector 12 and the second connector 13 along the height direction of the first support member 11, the positions of the detection unit 2 and the rejection unit 3 on the support frame 1 can be easily adjusted, making the whole device more flexible to use and reducing the assembly difficulty of the whole device.

[0067] Understandably, the first support member 11 can be a support rod, which can be vertically installed on one side of the transport section. In this way, by moving the first connecting member 12 and the second connecting member 13 along the height direction of the first support member 11, the positions of the detection section 2 and the rejection section 3 on the support frame 1 can be adjusted so that the detection section 2 is located at a preset height above the transport section, and the rejection section 3 is basically flush with or slightly higher than the transport surface of the transport section. This makes it convenient for the detection section 2 to detect the quality of the cigarette packs inside the cigarette box 4, and for the rejection section 3 to remove the unqualified cigarette boxes 4 detected by the detection section 2 from the transport section.

[0068] In one embodiment, see [reference] Figure 2 As shown, the first connector 12 includes a first mounting portion 121, a first connecting portion 123, a first locking portion 122, and a second locking portion 124; the first mounting portion 121 is slidably connected to the first support member 11; the first locking portion 122 is used to fix the first mounting portion 121 to the first support member 11; the first connecting portion 123 is slidably connected to the first mounting portion 121, and the first connecting portion 123 extends toward the transport portion, and the detection portion 2 is connected to the first connecting portion 123; the second locking portion 124 is used to fix the first connecting portion 123 to the first mounting portion 121.

[0069] Thus, when it is necessary to adjust the position of the detection unit 2 relative to the transport unit, the first mounting part 121 is moved along the height direction of the first support member 11. After adjustment, the first locking part 122 is used to fix the first mounting part 121 to the first support member 11; the first connecting part 123 is slid relative to the first mounting part 121. After adjustment, the second locking part 124 is used to fix the first connecting part 123 to the first mounting part 121. This is convenient and easy to operate, improves the usability of the entire device, and reduces the difficulty of using the entire device.

[0070] In one embodiment, see [reference] Figure 2 As shown, the first mounting part 121 is provided with a first through hole 1211, a second through hole 1212, a first gap 1213, a second gap 1214, a third through hole 1215, and a fourth through hole 1216; the first gap 1213 connects the outside to the first through hole 1211; the center line of the second through hole 1212 intersects the first gap 1213; the first support member 11 is movably inserted through the first through hole 1211; the first locking part 122 is inserted through the second through hole 1212 to adjust the first support member 1215. The space of the first perforation 1211 allows the sidewall of the first perforation 1211 to be tightly fitted to the first support member 11; the second gap 1214 connects the outside to the third perforation 1215; the centerline of the third perforation 1215 intersects with the second gap 1214; the first connecting part 123 is movably inserted through the third perforation 1215; the second locking part 124 is inserted through the fourth perforation 1216 to adjust the space of the third perforation 1215 so that the sidewall of the third perforation 1215 is tightly fitted to the first connecting part 123.

[0071] Thus, when the position of the detection part 2 needs to be adjusted, the first locking part 122 is released, causing the first mounting part 121 to rotate relative to the first support member 11 and move along the first support member 11. When it moves into place, the first locking part 122 is inserted into the second through hole 1212. The first locking part 122 squeezes the first gap 1213, reducing the gap of the first gap 1213 and the space of the first through hole 1211. The side wall of the first through hole 1211 is tightly held by the first support member 11, thereby fixing the first mounting part 121 onto the first support member 11. Release the second locking part 124, causing the first connecting part 123 to rotate relative to the first mounting part 121 and slide relative to the first mounting part 121. After adjustment, insert the second locking part 124 into the fourth mounting hole. The second locking part 124 presses against the second gap 1214, reducing the gap of the second gap 1214 and the space of the third through hole 1215. The side wall of the third through hole 1215 hugs the first connecting part 123, thereby fixing the first connecting part 123 onto the first mounting part 121, thus completing the position adjustment of the detection part 2.

[0072] It is understood that the first connecting part 123 and the second connecting part 133 can both be connecting rods, and the first locking part 122 and the second locking part 124 can both be fasteners, such as fastening bolts.

[0073] In one embodiment, see [reference] Figure 3As shown, the second connector 13 includes a second mounting portion 131, a second connecting portion 133, a third locking portion 132, and a fourth locking portion 134; the second mounting portion 131 is slidably connected to the first support member 11; the third locking portion 132 is used to fix the second mounting portion 131 to the first support member 11; the second connecting portion 133 is slidably connected to the second mounting portion 131 and extends along the transport direction of the transport section; the rejection portion 3 is connected to the second connecting portion 133; the fourth locking portion 134 is used to fix the second connecting portion 133 to the second mounting portion 131.

[0074] Thus, when it is necessary to adjust the position of the rejection part 3 relative to the transport part, the second mounting part 131 is moved along the height direction of the first support member 11. After adjustment, the second mounting part 131 is fixed to the first support member 11 by the third locking part 132. The second connecting part 133 slides relative to the second mounting part 131. After adjustment, the second connecting part 133 is fixed to the second mounting part 131 by the fourth locking part 134. The operation is convenient, simple and easy, improving the usability of the entire device and reducing the difficulty of using the entire device.

[0075] In one embodiment, see [reference] Figure 3 As shown, the second mounting part 131 is provided with a fifth through hole 1311, a sixth through hole 1312, a third gap 1313, a fourth gap 1314, a seventh through hole 1315, and an eighth through hole 1316; the third gap 1313 connects the outside to the fifth through hole 1311; the center line of the sixth through hole 1312 intersects with the third gap 1313; the first support member 11 is movably inserted through the fifth through hole 1311; the third locking part 132 is inserted through the sixth through hole 1312 to adjust the fifth through hole 1311. The space of the five perforations 1311 allows the sidewall of the fifth perforation 1311 to be tightly fitted to the first support member 11; the fourth gap 1314 connects the outside to the seventh perforation 1315; the centerline of the eighth perforation 1316 intersects with the fourth gap 1314; the second connecting part 133 is movably inserted through the seventh perforation 1315; the fourth locking part 134 is inserted through the eighth perforation 1316 to adjust the space of the seventh perforation 1315 so that the sidewall of the seventh perforation 1315 is tightly fitted to the second connecting part 133.

[0076] Thus, when the position of the rejection part 3 needs to be adjusted, the third locking part 132 is released, causing the second mounting part 131 to rotate relative to the second support member 21 and move along the second support member 21. When it moves into place, the third locking part 132 is inserted into the sixth through hole 1312, and the second locking part 124 squeezes the third gap 1313, thereby reducing the gap of the third gap 1313 and reducing the space of the fifth through hole 1311. The side wall of the fifth through hole 1311 is tightly held by the first support member 11, thereby fixing the second mounting part 131 onto the first support member 11. Release the fourth locking part 134, causing the second connecting part 133 to rotate relative to the second mounting part 131 and slide relative to the second mounting part 131. After adjustment, insert the fourth locking part 134 into the eighth mounting hole. The second locking part 124 presses against the fourth gap 1314, reducing the gap of the fourth gap 1314 and the space of the seventh through hole 1315. The side wall of the seventh through hole 1315 hugs the second connecting part 133, thereby fixing the second connecting part 133 onto the second mounting part 131, thus completing the position adjustment of the rejection part 3.

[0077] Understandably, both the third connecting part 26 and the fourth connecting part can be a connecting rod, and both the third locking part 132 and the fourth locking part 134 can be fasteners, such as fastening bolts.

[0078] In one embodiment, see [reference] Figure 4 As shown, the detection unit 2 includes a second support member 21, a detection camera 22, a detection light source 23, and a light-transmitting element 24; the second support member 21 has a frame-shaped structure; the first support member 11 is connected to the first connector 12; the detection camera 22 is disposed inside the second support member 21; the detection light source 23 is disposed inside the second support member 21; the light-transmitting element 24 is located on the light-emitting side of the detection camera 22; the light-transmitting element 24 is connected to the second support member 21.

[0079] Thus, when the inspection unit 2 inspects the cigarette box 4 containing cigarettes, the second support member 21 provides support for the inspection camera 22 and the inspection light source 23. The inspection camera 22 takes pictures of the cigarettes in the cigarette box 4, and the inspection light source 23 provides supplementary lighting for the cigarettes in the cigarette box 4, enabling the inspection camera 22 to more clearly photograph and inspect the cigarettes inside the cigarette box 4. By photographing the cigarettes inside the cigarette box 4 with the inspection camera 22, a basis is provided for subsequent rejection operations, making the entire rejection operation efficient and avoiding the problems of high cost, low efficiency, and easy error caused by manual inspection.

[0080] It should be noted that the detection unit 2 may include multiple detection light sources 23, which may be spaced apart around the detection camera 22. For details, please refer to... Figure 5As shown, the detection unit 2 may include two detection light sources 23, and the detection camera 22 may be located at the center of the second support member 21. The two detection light sources 23 may be located on both sides of the detection camera 22. Thus, the two detection light sources 23 can illuminate the cigarettes in the cigarette box 4, enabling the detection camera 22 to take clearer pictures of the cigarettes in the cigarette box 4, thereby improving the detection accuracy.

[0081] In one embodiment, see [reference] Figure 5 As shown, the detection unit 2 includes an adjustment mechanism 25, which includes a light source fixing plate 251, a rotating screw 252, a drive handle 253, and a locking ring. The light source fixing plate 251 is disposed inside the second support member 21, and the detection light source 23 is disposed on the light source fixing plate 251. The rotating screw 252 is rotatably connected to the second support member 21. One end of the rotating screw 252 extends into the second support member 21 and is connected to the light source fixing plate 251. The other end of the rotating screw 252 is located outside the second support member 21. The drive handle 253 is disposed at the other end of the rotating screw 252. The locking ring 254 is disposed on the rotating screw 252 and can rotate relative to the rotating screw 252.

[0082] Therefore, when it is necessary to adjust the angle of the detection light source 23, the rotating screw 252 is driven to rotate by the drive handle 253. The rotating screw 252 drives the light source fixing plate 251 and the detection light source 23 to rotate. After the adjustment is in place, the locking ring 254 rotates on the rotating screw 252. The locking ring 254 abuts against the second support member 21, thereby locking the rotating screw 252 on the second support member 21, thus realizing the angle adjustment and fixation of the detection light source 23.

[0083] Understandably, the locking ring 254 can be a locking nut.

[0084] In one embodiment, see [reference] Figure 4 As shown, the detection unit 2 also includes a third connecting part 26 and a fifth locking part 27; the third connecting part 26 is connected to the second support member 21; the third connecting part 26 is provided with a ninth through hole 261, a fifth gap 262 and a tenth through hole 263, the fifth gap 262 connects the outside and the ninth through hole 261; the center line of the tenth through hole 263 intersects with the fifth gap 262; the first connecting member 12 passes through the ninth through hole 261; the fifth locking part 27 passes through the tenth through hole 263 to adjust the space of the ninth through hole 261 so that the side wall of the ninth through hole 261 is tightly hugged by the first connecting member 12.

[0085] Therefore, the second support member 21 can be easily connected to the first connector 12 through the third connecting part 26 and the fifth locking part 27, thereby facilitating the assembly of the entire device.

[0086] In one embodiment, see [reference] Figure 3 As shown, the rejection unit 3 includes a fixed base 31, an air storage component 32, an air blowing pipe 33, and a nozzle 34. The fixed base 31 is connected to the second connecting member 13 and can rotate relative to the second connecting member 13. The air storage component 32 is disposed on the fixed base 31 and has an air storage chamber 321. The air blowing pipe 33 communicates with the air storage chamber 321. The nozzle 34 is disposed at the end of the air blowing pipe 33 away from the air storage component 32.

[0087] Therefore, during operation, the gas storage chamber 321 can be connected to an external gas source, and high-pressure gas is sprayed out through the nozzle 34 to remove unqualified cigarette boxes 4 from the transportation section.

[0088] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0089] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
