AI Technical Summary
The existing cigarette packaging production line lacks buffer space during the conveying, stacking, packing and sealing processes, resulting in low production efficiency. Furthermore, if any link has a problem, the entire production line must be shut down, making it impossible to pause some equipment while others continue to operate normally.
The flexible cigarette packaging production line is designed by setting up a buffer return module between the input module and the packaging and sealing module to form a closed-loop conveyor. The turnover box moves back and forth in the loop, realizing independent control of each module and allowing any module to stop alone without affecting the normal operation of other modules.
It improves production efficiency, ensures that other modules can continue to work when any module stops, avoids downtime of the entire production line, and enhances production flexibility and efficiency.
