[0026] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0027] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The automated cigarette box appearance inspection device provided by this utility model is described below. The automated cigarette box appearance inspection device includes: a base 1, a servo motor 8, a lifting and tilting platform, a stepper 7, and two clamping plates 6. A detector for inspecting the appearance of a cigarette box 9 is mounted on the top of the base 1. The servo motor 8 is mounted on one side of the base 1. The lifting and tilting platform is mounted on the base 1 and is used to place the cigarette box 9. The stepper 7 is mounted on the servo motor 8 and rotates at a certain angle with the help of the servo motor 8. The two clamping plates 6 are located above the base 1, facing each other and situated on both sides of the lifting and tilting platform; one clamping plate 6 is fixed to the stepper 7; the two clamping plates 6 rotate synchronously and move closer together with the help of the stepper 7 to clamp the cigarette box 9; the servo motor 8, with the help of the two clamping plates 6, drives the cigarette box 9 to rotate at a preset angle.

[0028] The advantages of the automated cigarette box appearance inspection device provided by this utility model are as follows: Compared with the prior art, the automated cigarette box appearance inspection device of this utility model has a detector for detecting the appearance of cigarette box 9 installed above the base 1, a servo motor 8 installed on one side of the base 1, a lifting and tilting platform installed on the base 1, a stepper 7 installed on the servo motor 8, and two clamping plates 6 located above the base 1 and opposite to each other on both sides of the lifting and tilting platform.

[0029] In practical applications, the cigarette box 9 is placed on a lifting and tilting platform. Two clamping plates 6 approach each other and clamp the cigarette box 9 with the help of stepping members 7. A servo motor 8 drives the stepping members 7 to move, which in turn moves the clamping plates 6. Finally, the servo motor 8, with the help of the two clamping plates 6, rotates the cigarette box 9 to a preset angle, thus facilitating the detection of the cigarette box 9 from multiple angles. This application can achieve multi-angle, all-round display of the cigarette box 9, with a simple structure, a high level of integration, and high detection accuracy.

[0030] In some embodiments of the automated cigarette box appearance inspection device provided in this application, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The lifting and tilting platform includes two lifting components 11 and a support plate 4 connected to the two lifting components 11. The support plate 4 is used to support the cigarette box 9. The two lifting components 11 adjust the spatial position and angle of the support plate 4 by changing their own length.

[0031] The lifting member 11 can change its length. If the two lifting members 11 extend or shorten by the same length, the support plate 4 will translate. If the two lifting members 11 extend or shorten by different lengths, the spatial angle of the support plate 4 will change.

[0032] Specifically, when the spatial position of the cigarette box 9 needs to be adjusted, the two lifting components 11 can extend or shorten synchronously or asynchronously, thereby raising or lowering the support plate 4 to accommodate the detection requirements of the cigarette box 9 at different angles. Simultaneously, by controlling the difference in the extension of the two lifting components 11, the tilt angle of the support plate 4 can also be adjusted, allowing the cigarette box 9 to be detected at different angles, improving the comprehensiveness and accuracy of the detection. For example, when inspecting the side appearance of the cigarette box 9, the support plate 4 can be tilted at a certain angle, making the side of the cigarette box 9 easier for the detector to observe and detect. This design allows the lifting and tilting platform to flexibly adapt to various placement and detection requirements of the cigarette box 9, providing a more convenient and efficient solution for automated cigarette box appearance inspection.

[0033] In some embodiments of the automated cigarette box appearance inspection device provided in this application, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2The lifting component 11 can be any one of a hydraulic cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder, or a lifting motor. When a hydraulic cylinder is selected as the lifting component 11, it can smoothly lift the cigarette box 9 from below through the operation of the hydraulic system, facilitating the detector to perform visual inspection of the bottom of the cigarette box 9. When a pneumatic cylinder is used as the lifting component 11, the extension and retraction characteristics of the cylinder are utilized to quickly and accurately complete the lifting action of the cigarette box 9, providing strong support for the inspection process. If a lifting motor is selected as the lifting component 11, the rotation of the motor drives the relevant transmission mechanism to achieve the lifting and lowering of the cigarette box 9. This method has high precision and stability and can meet the requirements for lifting the cigarette box 9 under different inspection needs.

[0034] In some embodiments of the automated cigarette box appearance inspection device provided in this application, please refer to... Figure 1 A sliding plate 10 is slidably mounted on the support plate 4, and the cigarette box 9 is placed on the sliding plate 10. When the sliding plate 10 slides to the appropriate position, the stepper 7 starts to drive the clamping plate 6 to move. The clamping plate 6 rotates at a certain angle with the help of the servo motor 8, so that the two clamping plates 6 rotate synchronously and move closer to each other, thereby clamping the cigarette box 9. Then, the servo motor 8 drives the clamped cigarette box 9 to start to flip at a preset angle. During this process, the sliding plate 10 moves downward under the action of the two lifting members 11 to avoid the cigarette box 9, so as to ensure that the flipping action of the cigarette box 9 is stable and accurate. The sliding plate 10 can slide a certain distance on the support plate 4. This is because when the appearance dimensions of the cigarette box 9 are checked, the clamping plate 6 needs to be in a non-contact state with the cigarette box 9. For this purpose, the clamping plate 6 on one side of the servo motor 8 is separated from the cigarette box 9 under the action of the stepper 7. At this time, the sliding plate 10 slides towards the servo motor 8, thereby separating the cigarette box 9 from the clamping plate 6 on the other side.

[0035] In some embodiments of the automated cigarette box appearance inspection device provided in this application, please refer to... Figure 1 The slide plate 10 slides along the line connecting the center points of the two clamping plates 6. This configuration defines the sliding direction of the slide plate 10. The slide plate 10 is connected to a drive mechanism, which allows it to move smoothly along this line. Thus, when inspecting cigarette boxes 9 at different locations, the drive mechanism can control the sliding of the slide plate 10, enabling the inspection device to accurately reach the location of the cigarette box 9, improving inspection efficiency and accuracy. Simultaneously, because the sliding direction of the slide plate 10 is defined, inspection errors caused by the deviation of the slide plate 10 during inspection are avoided, ensuring the reliability of the inspection results.

[0036] In some embodiments of the automated cigarette box appearance inspection device provided in this application, please refer to... Figure 1 A connecting plate 2 and a support base 3 are fixed on the base 1, and two clamping plates 6 are respectively rotatably set on the connecting plate 2 and the support base 3.

[0037] The clamping plate 6 itself needs to rotate. Therefore, the clamping plate 6 connected to the connecting plate 2 usually needs to be equipped with a motor. It should be noted that the motor needs to rotate synchronously with the servo motor 8 in the same direction and at the same speed, so as to ensure the spatial angle of the swing of the cigarette box 9 when it is clamped. High-precision bearings are set on the connecting rod of the clamping plate 6 to reduce friction and wear during rotation and improve the accuracy and stability of the rotation of the clamping plate 6.

[0038] In some embodiments of the automated cigarette box appearance inspection device provided in this application, please refer to... Figure 1 The servo motor 8 is mounted on the support base 3. The clamping plate 6 includes a connecting rod and a clamping plate 6, which is mounted on the connecting rod. The two clamping plates 6 are used to clamp the cigarette box 9. The two connecting rods are respectively connected to the connecting plate 2 and the stepper 7. The two connecting rods can rotate on the connecting plate 2 and the stepper 7.

[0039] This design allows the cigarette box 9 to be manipulated and fixed more flexibly during the inspection process. When the servo motor 8 drives the stepper 7 to rotate at a certain angle, the two clamping plates 6 can move closer or further apart through the rotation of the connecting rod, thereby precisely clamping or releasing the cigarette box 9. When it is necessary to rotate the cigarette box 9 to a preset angle, the rotation of the servo motor 8 is transmitted to the connecting rod through the stepper 7, and the connecting rod then drives the clamping plates 6 and the cigarette box 9 to rotate together. The whole process is stable and efficient, and can meet various needs of automated cigarette box appearance inspection.

[0040] In some embodiments of the automated cigarette box appearance inspection device provided in this application, please refer to... Figure 1 A drive rod connects the stepper 7 and the servo motor 8, and the drive rod passes through the support base 3. The servo motor 8 is fixed on the support base 3, and the servo motor 8 drives the stepper 7 to rotate via the drive rod. Furthermore, the support base 3 is provided with a guide groove, in which the drive rod can slide to ensure smooth and precise movement of the drive rod. This allows the servo motor 8 to stably drive the stepper 7 to rotate at a certain angle, thereby ensuring that the two clamping plates 6 can accurately clamp the cigarette box 9 and rotate the cigarette box 9 to a preset angle, improving the working stability and reliability of the entire automated cigarette box appearance inspection device.

[0041] In some embodiments of the automated cigarette box appearance inspection device provided in this application, please refer to... Figure 1The support base 3 is slidably mounted on the base 1. By allowing the support base 3 to slide on the base 1, the applicability of this structure is improved. In practical applications, when it is necessary to inspect cigarette boxes 9 of different sizes or specifications, the position of the support base 3 on the base 1 can be adjusted to accommodate them. For example, if the cigarette box 9 being inspected is large, the support base 3 can be slid to one side of the base 1 to provide more space for the cigarette box 9 to be placed and operated. If the cigarette box 9 is small, the support base 3 can be slid to the other side of the base 1, making the device more compact. This design allows this automated cigarette box appearance inspection device to flexibly handle various types of cigarette boxes 9, greatly improving its versatility and applicability in actual production, and bringing great convenience to cigarette box appearance inspection work.

[0042] In some embodiments of the automated cigarette box appearance inspection device provided in this application, please refer to... Figure 1 Both the support plate 4 and the support base 3 are equipped with electromagnets 5 for driving the sliding plate 10. When energized, the electromagnet 5 generates a magnetic field. Through the interaction between the magnetic field and the sliding plate 10, the sliding position of the sliding plate 10 on the support plate 4 and the support base 3 can be precisely controlled. When it is necessary to inspect cigarette boxes 9 at different locations, the smooth sliding of the sliding plate 10 can be achieved by controlling the energizing state and current magnitude of the electromagnet 5, enabling the inspection device to quickly and accurately reach the location of the cigarette box 9, thus improving inspection efficiency. Furthermore, the control method of the electromagnet 5 is flexible and diverse, and can be programmed and adjusted according to different inspection needs to meet various complex inspection scenarios.

[0043] By altering the magnetism and magnetic field strength of the two electromagnets 5, the position of the slide plate 10 relative to the support plate 4 can be changed without contact. The magnetism and magnetic field strength of the two electromagnets 5 can be precisely adjusted by controlling the magnitude and direction of the current flowing through them. When the position of the slide plate 10 needs to be changed, a current signal is transmitted to the electromagnets 5, causing a corresponding change in their magnetic field, which in turn exerts a magnetic force on the slide plate 10. Under the push or pull of the magnetic force, the slide plate 10 moves smoothly along a specific track or guide rail. This non-contact position adjustment method avoids friction and wear between the slide plate 10 and the support plate 4, improving the stability and lifespan of the system. Simultaneously, by precisely controlling the parameters of the electromagnets 5, rapid switching and precise positioning of the slide plate 10 between different positions can be achieved, meeting various application requirements. For example, in automated production lines, this slide plate 10 position adjustment system can be used for precise conveying and positioning of workpieces, ensuring high efficiency and accuracy in the production process.

[0044] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
