Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tobacco packaging machines, specifically a tobacco packaging machine with sorting function. Background Technology
[0002] Tobacco packaging machines are used to package tobacco. A conveying device is required when transporting tobacco within the packaging machine. However, most existing conveying devices for tobacco packaging machines have a single conveying mode, resulting in limitations in real-time operation during transport.
[0003] To solve the above problems, after searching, Chinese Patent No. CN213230251U was found, which discloses a conveying device for a tobacco packaging machine. The device includes a conveyor belt, a drive roller connected to the inner side of the conveyor belt, protective plates on both the front and rear sides of the conveyor belt, a stepper motor connected to the back of the drive roller, a motor plate fixedly installed at the bottom of the stepper motor, and the motor plate fixedly connected to the protective plate.
[0004] While the aforementioned devices can meet conveying needs under different circumstances and offer advantages such as adjustable conveying modes, in actual use, they cannot detect defects in the tobacco cartons on the conveyor belt and sort and remove them. This leads to a large number of problematic products entering the market or the next process, and appearance defects directly cause consumer dissatisfaction. Low-quality packaging also causes consumers to distrust the brand. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a tobacco packaging machine with sorting function to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, a tobacco packaging machine with sorting function is provided, including a packaging machine conveyor line, on which tobacco is disposed, and a sorting mechanism is installed on one side of the packaging machine conveyor line. At the same time, the surface of the packaging machine conveyor line is covered with a defect detection mechanism. The defect detection mechanism is provided with a card seat, and a support seat is fixed on the top of the card seat. An adjustment seat is inserted inside the support seat. A gantry frame is fixed to the adjustment seat, and a defect detection camera is provided on the gantry frame.
[0007] Furthermore, the defect detection mechanism also includes studs, which are fixed to the bottom of the adjusting seat. The supporting seat has two sets of U-shaped openings. The card holder is L-shaped and is locked onto the side wall of the packaging machine conveyor line.
[0008] Furthermore, the stud at the bottom of the adjusting seat passes through the U-shaped opening and is fixed by a nut, and the depth of the adjusting seat inserted into the support seat is adjusted by the stud, the U-shaped opening and the nut.
[0009] Furthermore, the gantry is equipped with two sets of defect detection cameras, which cover the tobacco and are distributed in parallel.
[0010] Furthermore, the sorting mechanism is equipped with a drive motor, which is fixed to the packaging machine conveyor line via a base. The output shaft of the drive motor is fixed to a rocker arm, and the rocker arm is eccentrically positioned.
[0011] Furthermore, a transmission arm is movably mounted on the rocker arm, and a drive seat is movably connected to the end of the transmission arm. At the same time, a sorting plate is fixed at the bottom of the drive seat, and the sorting plate is arranged opposite to the tobacco.
[0012] Furthermore, the sorting mechanism also includes a positioning frame, which is fixed on the packaging machine conveyor line. The positioning frame is equipped with two sets of guide columns, which are inserted into two sets of guide holes on the drive seat.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] 1. Using two sets of defect detection cameras on the defect detection mechanism, the tobacco cartons are photographed from top to bottom to detect defects. When a defect is found in the tobacco cartons, the sorting mechanism is used to drive the output shaft of the drive motor to rotate the rocker arm, so that the drive base and sorting plate move linearly along the guide column, pushing the defective tobacco away from the rejection packaging machine conveyor line; this prevents a large number of problematic products from entering the market or the next process. Appearance defects will directly cause consumer dissatisfaction, and low-quality packaging will cause consumers to distrust the brand.
[0015] 2. The depth of the adjusting seat inserted into the support base can be adjusted by using studs, U-shaped openings and nuts. The height of the defect detection camera can be flexibly adjusted according to the thickness, height and other specifications of the tobacco, ensuring that the camera and the tobacco always maintain the best shooting distance and avoiding blurry detection due to improper distance.

Detailed Implementation
[0023] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a tobacco packaging machine with sorting function, including a packaging machine conveyor line 100, on which tobacco 200 is disposed, and a sorting mechanism 300 is installed on one side of the packaging machine conveyor line 100. At the same time, the surface of the packaging machine conveyor line 100 is covered with a defect detection mechanism 400. The defect detection mechanism 400 is provided with a card seat 41, and a support seat 42 is fixed on the top of the card seat 41. An adjustment seat 43 is inserted inside the support seat 42. A gantry frame 45 is fixedly connected to the adjustment seat 43, and a defect detection camera 46 is provided on the gantry frame 45.
[0024] Working principle: When the packaging machine conveyor line 100 is conveying a large number of cartons of tobacco 200, a defect detection mechanism 400 is installed on the packaging machine conveyor line 100. The defect detection mechanism 400 uses two sets of defect detection cameras 46 to photograph and detect defects in the cartons of tobacco 200 from top to bottom. When a defect is found in the cartons of tobacco 200, the sorting mechanism 300 uses the output shaft of the drive motor 31 to drive the rocker arm 32 to rotate. The rocker arm 32 drives the transmission arm 33 to swing, so that the drive seat 34 and the sorting plate 341 move linearly with the guide column 36, pushing the defective tobacco 200 away from the packaging machine conveyor line 100. This prevents a large number of defective products from entering the market or the next process. Appearance defects will directly cause consumer dissatisfaction, and low-quality packaging will cause consumers to distrust the brand.
[0025] In a preferred embodiment, the defect detection mechanism 400 also includes a stud 44, which is fixed to the bottom of the adjusting seat 43. The support seat 42 has two sets of U-shaped openings 421. The card holder 41 is L-shaped and is attached to the side wall of the packaging machine conveyor line 100.
[0026] The stud 44 at the bottom of the adjusting seat 43 passes through the U-shaped opening 421 and is fixed by a nut. The depth of the adjusting seat 43 inserted into the support seat 42 is adjusted by the stud 44, the U-shaped opening 421 and the nut.
[0027] Two sets of defect detection cameras 46 are installed on the gantry frame 45, and the two sets of defect detection cameras 46 cover the tobacco 200, and the two sets of defect detection cameras 46 are distributed in parallel.
[0028] like Figure 1 - Figure 6 As shown: The depth of the adjusting seat 43 inserted into the support base 42 is adjusted by the stud 44, U-shaped opening 421 and nut. The height of the defect detection camera 46 can be flexibly adjusted according to the thickness, height and other specifications of the tobacco 200, ensuring that the camera and the tobacco 200 always maintain the optimal shooting distance and avoiding blurry detection due to improper distance. The stud 44 is fixed with a nut after passing through the U-shaped opening 421. The structure is simple and has strong locking force. The adjusting seat 43 will not loosen after adjustment, ensuring the stability of the detection position. At the same time, there is no need to disassemble complex parts. The depth adjustment can be completed by simply tightening the nut, which is more efficient for later maintenance or changing production specifications.
[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the sorting mechanism 300 is equipped with a drive motor 31, and the drive motor 31 is fixed on the packaging machine conveyor line 100 via a base. The output shaft of the drive motor 31 is fixed to the rocker arm 32, and the rocker arm 32 is eccentrically positioned.
[0030] A transmission arm 33 is movably mounted on the rocker arm 32, and a drive seat 34 is movably connected to the end of the transmission arm 33. At the same time, a sorting plate 341 is fixed at the bottom of the drive seat 34, and the sorting plate 341 is arranged opposite to the tobacco 200.
[0031] The sorting mechanism 300 also includes a positioning frame 35, which is fixed on the packaging machine conveyor line 100. The positioning frame 35 is provided with two sets of guide posts 36, which are inserted into two sets of guide holes on the drive seat 34.
[0032] like Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown: The defect detection mechanism 400 is equipped with two sets of defect detection cameras 46, which adopt a top-down shooting angle to cover the key areas on the upper surface of the tobacco 200. Compared with single-camera detection, this reduces blind spots. The cameras directly capture images of the tobacco 200 in real time during transport, which can quickly capture appearance defects such as damage, deformation, and label abnormalities, avoiding missed detections caused by subjectivity and fatigue in manual inspection. The sorting mechanism 300 achieves linear movement sorting through the transmission link of drive motor 31, rocker arm 32, transmission arm 33, drive seat 34, and sorting plate 341. The action is smooth and the response speed is fast, and the conveyor line will not be congested due to sorting delays.
[0033] The sorting plate 341 moves linearly with the guide column 36 as the reference, and its positioning is accurate when pushing away defective tobacco 200. This avoids accidental contact and damage to normal cartons of tobacco 200, while ensuring that defective products are completely removed from the packaging machine conveyor line 100. Defects are removed during the conveying stage of the cartons of tobacco 200, preventing them from flowing into the next process, such as packaging and boxing. This reduces the cost of ineffective processing in subsequent processes, such as waste of packaging materials and rework time. It effectively prevents a large number of defective cartons of tobacco 200 from entering the market, avoiding risks such as consumer complaints and damage to brand reputation, while also reducing the after-sales and recall costs incurred by enterprises due to quality problems.
