Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of smoking posture correction technology, and in particular to a universal smoking posture correction device. Background Technology
[0002] During the sorting or coding process of cigarette packs, since the cigarette packs are usually distributed crookedly and randomly on the conveyor, it is generally necessary to correct the cigarette posture in order to keep them in a relatively straight state for conveying to the next process.
[0003] However, the current industry solutions to the problem of improper cigarette posture mostly involve adding guide devices or lever devices to a sorting line. While these methods achieve the purpose of cigarette posture correction to a certain extent, the guide devices are not adaptable due to the different brands of cigarette packs and cannot correct cigarette packs of different sizes. Furthermore, the existing technology still relies on manual operation for straightening, which is inefficient and costly. Therefore, a universal cigarette posture correction device is needed.

Detailed Implementation
[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Example
[0021] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a universal smoking posture correction device, including a base frame 1, a bracket 2 fixedly installed on the upper surface of the base frame 1, a support block 3 fixedly installed on the upper surface of the bracket 2, a conveyor belt 4 installed inside the support block 3, an installation rod 5 fixedly installed on the upper surface of the bracket 2, a camera analyzer 6 fixedly installed on the installation rod 5, a guide rod 7 fixedly installed on the upper surface of the bracket 2, an orientation correction mechanism 8 provided on the guide rod 7, a support rod 9 fixedly installed on the upper surface of the bracket 2, a guide curtain 10 fixedly installed on the support rod 9, a control rod 11 slidably installed inside the support rod 9, a first correction plate 12 fixedly installed on the control rod 11, an angle correction mechanism 13 provided on the guide rod 7, a power controller 14 fixedly installed on the bracket 2, a conveyor belt 4 fixedly installed at the output end of the power controller 14, and a cigarette strip 15 provided on the conveyor belt 4;
[0022] The power controller 14 drives the conveyor belt 4 to move, placing the cigarette stick 15 on it. The orientation correction mechanism 8 can correct the orientation of cigarette sticks 15 of different sizes, providing good adaptability. As the cigarette stick 15 is conveyed on the conveyor belt 4, the camera analyzer 6 scans and extracts a frame of the image in real time. The image is analyzed to first identify the cigarette stick 15 in the image, then identify cigarette sticks 15 with incorrect posture, analyze the offset and rotation angle of abnormal posture, store the identified parameters in a buffer queue, and design an algorithm to calculate the movement required to correct the posture. The camera analyzer 6 sends a command to move the control lever 11, which in turn moves the first correction plate 12. The first correction plate 12 corrects the cigarette stick 15, whose offset angle is in the range of 35 degrees to 90 degrees, to within 30 degrees. Then, it is conveyed to the vicinity of the angle correction mechanism 13 through the guide curtain 10. The angle correction mechanism 13 can correct the cigarette stick 15 with an offset angle within 30 degrees to the center of the conveyor belt 4 and correct the offset angle to close to 0 degrees. This setting can further correct the offset angle of the cigarette posture, which is convenient for subsequent operation and processing.
[0023] In this embodiment of the utility model, specifically, the orientation correction mechanism 8 includes a support plate 81 fixedly installed on the upper surface of the guide rod 7, a slide rod 82 slidably installed inside the support plate 81, a correction strip 83 fixedly installed at the bottom of the slide rod 82, the correction strip 83 slidably installed inside the support plate 81, a limit box 84 fixedly installed on the upper surface of the support plate 81, a screw 85 threadedly installed inside the limit box 84, a rotating block 86 fixedly installed at one end of the screw 85, and a pull block 87 fixedly installed on the slide rod 82;
[0024] To correct the upward orientation of cigarette sticks 15 of different sizes, pull block 87 moves slide bar 82, which in turn moves correction bar 83 so that it is positioned just above cigarette stick 15 without contacting it. Then, rotating block 86 drives screw 85 to rotate, and screw 85 rotates onto slide bar 82 to fix slide bar 82. When cigarette stick 15 is conveyed on conveyor belt 4, it is corrected to face upward by correction bar 83. This corrects the upward orientation of cigarette sticks 15 of different sizes and has good adaptability.
[0025] In this embodiment of the utility model, specifically, the angle correction mechanism 13 includes a sliding rod 131 slidably installed in the guide rod 7, a second correction plate 132 fixedly installed at one end of the sliding rod 131, a connecting strip 133 fixedly installed at the other end of the second correction plate 132, a mounting frame 134 fixedly installed on the bracket 2, an electric telescopic rod 135 fixedly installed on the mounting frame 134, and the connecting strip 133 fixedly installed at the output end of the electric telescopic rod 135.
[0026] To further correct the offset angle of the smoke posture, the electric telescopic rod 135 is activated. The electric telescopic rod 135 drives the connecting bar 133 to move. The movement of the connecting bar 133 drives the moving rod 131 to move. The movement of the moving rod 131 drives the second correction plate 132 to move. The movement of the second correction plate 132 will correct the smoke bar 15 with an offset angle within 30 degrees to the center of the conveyor belt 4 and correct the offset angle to close to 0 degrees. This setting can further correct the offset angle of the smoke posture, which is convenient for subsequent operation and processing.
[0027] Working Principle: In use, first place the cigarette stick 15 face up directly below the correcting strip 83 on the conveyor belt 4. Pulling the pull block 87 moves the sliding rod 82, which in turn moves the correcting strip 83, positioning it just above the cigarette stick 15 without contacting it. Then, rotating the rotating block 86 drives the screw 85 to rotate, fixing it onto the sliding rod 82. As the cigarette stick 15 travels on the conveyor belt 4, it is corrected by the correcting strip 83 to face up. This corrects the orientation of cigarette sticks 15 of different sizes, offering good adaptability. While the cigarette stick 15 is traveling on the conveyor belt 4, the camera analyzer 6 scans and extracts a frame from the conveyor belt 4 in real time. The analyzer first identifies the cigarette sticks 15 in the frame, then identifies those with incorrect posture, analyzing the offset and rotation angle of the abnormal posture. The identified parameters are then stored in a cache queue, and an algorithm is designed to calculate the motion command parameters needed to correct the smoke posture. The camera analyzer 6 then issues a command to move the control lever 11, which in turn moves the first correction plate 12. The movement of the first correction plate 12 corrects the smoke stick 15, whose offset angle is in the range of 35-90 degrees, to within 30 degrees. The smoke stick 15 is then conveyed to the vicinity of the second correction plate 132 via the guide curtain 10. The electric telescopic rod 135 is then activated, which moves the connecting bar 133. The movement of the connecting bar 133 moves the moving rod 131, which in turn moves the second correction plate 132. The movement of the second correction plate 132 corrects the smoke stick 15, whose offset angle is within 30 degrees, to the center of the conveyor belt 4 and corrects the offset angle to close to 0 degrees. This setting can further correct the offset angle of the smoke posture, facilitating subsequent operations and processing.
[0028] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
