Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tobacco processing technology, specifically to a detection device for a tobacco shortage detector in a packaging machine's tobacco storage area. Background Technology

[0002] As an indispensable and crucial detection device in modern tobacco production lines, the cigarette shortage detector in the packaging machine's cigarette storage compartment provides a strong guarantee for tobacco companies to achieve high-quality and high-efficiency production goals due to its high precision and real-time performance. The application of the cigarette shortage detector in the packaging machine's cigarette storage compartment significantly improves the control capability of product quality and efficiency in tobacco packaging production lines. Modern ZB-type cigarette packaging machines generally use photoelectric cigarette shortage detectors to detect cigarettes in the lower flue of the cigarette storage compartment, utilizing the principle of diffuse reflection of light. When there are no cigarettes in the lower flue of the packaging machine's cigarette storage compartment, the detector sends an electrical signal, and the machine stops, preventing mechanical failure at the next workstation due to a lack of cigarettes. In actual production, the detection accuracy of photoelectric smoke shortage detectors is affected by ambient light and lens contamination. Due to dust accumulation or light source attenuation, the detection channels of the detector may fail. To address this, in most cases, when there is smoke in the smoke channel of the smoke storage, it is necessary to remove the smoke from each channel one by one to check whether the detection performance of each channel of the detector is normal. After removing the smoke from each channel, the smoke must be put back before the next channel can be checked. This method is time-consuming and labor-intensive, which not only affects production efficiency and consumes manpower, but also easily leads to equipment failure due to negligence in inspection. Therefore, a testing device for smoke shortage detectors in the smoke storage of packaging machines is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

The support plate is installed at the front end of the U-shaped plate, the cover plate is installed on the top of the support plate and the U-shaped plate, and the bottom plate is installed at the bottom of the support plate and the U-shaped plate.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the number of detection rods is 5-9, and both ends of the detection rods extend out of the housing.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the protrusion of the detection rod is a flat circular cylinder, the detection rod on one side of the protrusion is a square cylinder, and the detection rod on the other side of the protrusion is a circular cylinder.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the support plate is provided with the same number of square holes as the detection rods, the structure of the square holes is matched with the square column of the detection rod, and the square column of the detection rod is inserted into the square holes of the support plate.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the U-shaped plate has the same number of circular holes as the number of detection rods on one side relative to the support plate. The structure of the circular holes matches the circular cylinder of the detection rod, and the circular cylinder of the detection rod is inserted into the circular hole of the support plate.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the surface of the cylindrical portion of the detection rod extending out of the housing is provided with spiral patterns.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the number of magnet pieces is four, which are respectively arranged on the upper and lower, and left and right sides of the support plate.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, two countersunk screws are provided on both sides of the magnet piece, and the magnet piece is mounted on the support plate by means of the countersunk screws.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This invention involves attaching an inspection device to the cigarette storage channel of a packaging machine. The square cylindrical end of the detection rod is close to the cigarette shortage detector. When the cigarette shortage detector detects all the end faces of the detection rods, the detector lights up green. The detection rods are pulled out sequentially, and the cigarette shortage detector lights up red for each rod pulled out. If the detector does not light up red after pulling out a certain detection rod but remains green, then that cigarette shortage detector is faulty. The inspection device can effectively detect faulty cigarette shortage detectors. It is easy to operate, highly practical, and solves the problems of difficult performance verification, low efficiency, and high loss of cigarette shortage detectors in the cigarette storage channel of packaging machines. It improves verification efficiency, reduces losses, and increases the production efficiency of cigarette products. Attached Figure Description
