[0002] With the development and increasing competition in the cigarette market, people have higher and higher requirements for the appearance of cigarettes. Cigarette manufacturers need to inspect the appearance of cigarettes during production to minimize the probability of product damage. By reducing appearance damage, they can improve the quality of the cigarette brand. Therefore, cigarette packaging machines with cigarette pushing and removing devices are needed. Cigarette packaging machines are essentially highly specialized automated assembly equipment. Their essence lies in the synergy of precision mechanical motion, sensing technology, and program control to transform disordered cigarettes into consumer products that meet commercial standards. With the development of intelligent manufacturing, the next generation of equipment is evolving towards digital twins and AI adaptive adjustment, further improving production efficiency and flexibility.
[0003] In existing technologies, cigarette packaging machines typically use visual inspection and rejection machines to detect and reject cigarettes. Alternatively, for small batches of cigarettes, manual selection may be used. However, manual rejection not only increases the labor intensity of workers but is also inefficient. Furthermore, visual inspection and rejection methods involve complex mechanical structures and have a high system failure rate. Therefore, the cigarette packaging machine's cigarette pushing and rejection structure needs further improvement. Utility Model Content

[0017] 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.
[0018] Please see Figure 1-4 As shown, the cigarette packaging machine's cigarette pushing and removing device includes a frame 1, with a cigarette conveyor belt fixedly connected to both sides of the frame 1, a conveying mechanism on the top of the frame 1, and a removing mechanism above the conveying mechanism. The smoke removal mechanism includes a connecting frame 2, which is fixed to the frame 1 by several reinforcing ribs and support rods. A circular rotating disk 3 is provided below the connecting frame 2. A negative pressure pump 4 is fixedly connected to the top edge of the rotating disk 3, and a smoke extraction pipe 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom edge of the rotating disk 3. The smoke extraction pipe 5 is connected to the suction end of the negative pressure pump 4. A rotating motor 8 is provided below the connecting frame 2. A rotating shaft 9 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the rotating motor 8. The rotating shaft 9 is fixed to the center of the rotating disk 3.
[0019] Specifically, by starting the rotating motor 8, the output shaft of which rotates, the rotating shaft 9 can rotate. The rotation of the rotating shaft 9 can rotate the rotating disk 3. The rotation of the rotating disk 3 can adjust the position of the negative pressure pump 4 and the smoke extraction pipe 5. When the negative pressure pump 4 and the smoke extraction pipe 5 are above the smoke, starting the negative pressure pump 4 can suck up the smoke. When the smoke is on the storage box on one side of the frame 1, the negative pressure pump 4 can be stopped, and the defective smoke can be taken out.
[0020] As a further improvement of this utility model, a smoke-pressing pad 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the smoking pipe 5. The smoke-pressing pad 6 is made of rubber. An opening 7 is provided on the inner wall of the bottom of the smoke-pressing pad 6. The opening 7 is connected to the smoking pipe 5. The outer walls on both sides of the smoke-pressing pad 6 are arc-shaped structures. The center of the arc surface of the smoke-pressing pad 6 is far away from the smoke-pressing pad 6. An electric telescopic rod 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting frame 2. The bottom of the piston rod of the electric telescopic rod 10 is fixed to the top of the rotating motor 8.
[0021] Specifically, by activating the electric telescopic rod 10, the piston rod moves, causing the rotating motor 8 to move downwards and press the smoke-pressing pad 6 onto the smoke. The rounded side of the smoke-pressing pad 6 allows for a certain expansion of the bottom of the smoke-pressing pad 6, so that the smoke is in the inner wall of the opening 7. At this time, the negative pressure pump 4 is activated, which can draw out the air from the smoking pipe 5 and the smoke-pressing pad 6, creating a negative pressure inside, which can draw the smoke into the opening 7.
[0022] As a further improvement of this utility model, the smoke removal mechanism includes a detection camera, which is fixed to one side of the rotating disk 3. The detection camera is electrically connected to a controller. A rotating plate 11 is provided inside the frame 1. A smoke conveying duct 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating plate 11. The smoke conveying duct 12 has a V-shaped structure and the bottom inner wall of the smoke conveying duct 12 has an arc-shaped structure. The smoke extraction pipe 5 is located directly above the corner of the smoke conveying duct 12.
[0023] Specifically, the detection camera can detect the smoke rolling down the smoke conveyor 12. If the smoke is intact, the smoke conveyor 12 can operate normally so that the smoke can be conveyed to the next process. If the smoke is defective, it can be removed. In actual use, the angle of the smoke conveyor 12 can also be adjusted to facilitate the installation of the conveyor belts on both sides and increase the installation range of the equipment.
[0024] As a further improvement of this utility model, a rotary motor 13 is fixedly connected to one outer wall of the frame 1, and a rotary shaft 14 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the rotary motor 13. The rotary shaft 14 is fixed to the rotating plate 11. The controller is electrically connected to the rotary motor 13, the rotary motor 8 and the electric telescopic rod 10 respectively. It should be noted that the system operation part of the controller controlling the rotary motor 13, the rotary motor 8 and the electric telescopic rod 10 is applied for separately and will not be described in detail here. This utility model can be implemented by existing technology and does not affect the integrity of this application.
[0025] Specifically, by activating the set rotary motor 13, the output shaft of which rotates, the rotary shaft 14 can rotate, the rotation of the rotary shaft 14 can rotate the rotary plate 11, and the rotation of the rotary plate 11 can rotate the smoke conveyor 12, so that the smoke can roll down through the smoke conveyor 12 to the next stage conveyor belt for subsequent packaging operations.
[0026] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.
[0027] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The detection camera can detect the smoke rolling down through the smoke conveyor 12. If the smoke is intact, the controller can start the rotary motor 13. The output shaft of the rotary motor 13 rotates, which causes the rotary shaft 14 to rotate. The rotation of the rotary shaft 14 causes the rotary plate 11 to rotate, which in turn causes the smoke conveyor 12 to rotate, allowing the smoke to roll down through the smoke conveyor 12 to the next stage conveyor belt for subsequent packaging operations. If the detection camera detects a defect in the smoke, and the smoke is still inside the smoke conveyor 12, the controller can start the rotary motor 8. The output shaft of the rotary motor 8 rotates, which causes the rotary shaft 9 to rotate. The rotation of the rotary shaft 9 causes the rotary disc 3 to rotate, and the rotation of the rotary disc 3 is adjustable. The positions of the negative pressure pump 4 and the smoke pipe 5 are such that when the negative pressure pump 4 and the smoke pipe 5 are above the smoke, the controller can cause the electric telescopic rod 10 to move. The piston rod of the electric telescopic rod 10 can move the rotating motor 8 downward and cause the smoke pressing pad 6 to press down to the position of the smoke. The arc shape of the side of the smoke pressing pad 6 can facilitate a certain expansion of the bottom of the smoke pressing pad 6 so that the smoke is in the inner wall of the opening 7. At this time, the negative pressure pump 4 is started, which can draw out the air in the smoke pipe 5 and the smoke pressing pad 6, so that a negative pressure is created inside, which can suck the smoke into the opening 7. The rotating motor 8 is started again to make the rotating disk 3 rotate. When the smoke is on the storage box on one side of the frame 1, the negative pressure pump 4 can be stopped, and the defective smoke can be taken out. When conveying smoke, if the smoke is intact, the smoke conveying duct 12 can operate normally so that the smoke can be conveyed to the next stage. If the smoke is defective, it can be removed. In actual use, the angle of the smoke conveying duct 12 can also be adjusted to facilitate the installation of the conveyor belts on both sides and increase the installation range of the equipment.
