A cigarette decoration appearance detection auxiliary device

Abstract

This utility model belongs to the field of cigarette inspection technology, specifically relating to an auxiliary device for inspecting the appearance of cigarette packaging. It includes a base, a material conveying mechanism on top of the base, and a detection execution mechanism on one side of the material conveying mechanism. Through the detection execution mechanism, a lateral pushing component is activated to laterally push a second power rotating rod towards a first power rotating rod, causing the second power rotating rod to open and close towards the first power rotating rod. Simultaneously, a reduction motor is activated to drive the second and first power rotating rods to rotate, causing the cigarette to rotate slowly 360 degrees. Depending on the length and thickness of the cigarette, a first electric telescopic rod is activated to push a first moving pusher, a detection display, and an image acquisition camera to perform longitudinal movement detection of the cigarette. The lateral movement detection via the moving component ensures the detection effect, increases the detection range, improves detection efficiency, and is highly practical.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cigarette testing technology, specifically relating to an auxiliary device for testing the appearance of cigarette packaging. Background Technology

[0002] Cigarettes are tobacco products made by rolling tobacco into strips using cigarette paper. They are also known as paper cigarettes, cigarettes, or cigarette rolls. There are filter cigarettes and cigarettes without filters, as well as mild and strong flavors. In order to ensure that the quality of products produced in large-scale and mass production meets the requirements of tobacco processing technology, continuously improve product quality, and promote brand image upgrading, cigarette factories often encounter defects in actual cigarette production due to machine malfunctions, such as stains, damaged cigarette paper, exposed tobacco stems, poor splicing, no printing, misaligned printing, and ink contamination. Therefore, the appearance of cigarettes is usually inspected before they leave the factory.

[0003] In existing related technologies, a shooting position for the cigarette is set up. However, the unfolded surface of the cigarette is not at a single angle when it rotates. This shooting method can only capture one-third or half of the cigarette's circumference. Furthermore, when the cigarette is handed over on the cigarette wheel shaft, there is also the problem of the cigarette rotating itself. As a result, it is impossible to determine whether the captured image fully reflects the state of the cigarette. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design an auxiliary device for inspecting the appearance of cigarette packaging to deal with these problems. Utility Model Content

A discharge hole is provided on the base 1.

[0027] In this embodiment: the detection execution mechanism 3 includes a second frame 301 horizontally fixed on one side of the material conveying mechanism 2. A first power rotating rod 302 is longitudinally mounted on the second frame 301. A second power rotating rod 303 is parallel to one side of the first power rotating rod 302. A reduction motor 304 is installed at one end of both the first power rotating rod 302 and the second power rotating rod 303. A moving component 305 is provided at the rear of the second frame 301. An L-shaped frame 3051 is fixedly mounted on the moving component 305. A longitudinal pushing component is longitudinally arranged inside the L-shaped frame 3051. A detection display 307 is fixedly mounted at the lower end of the pushing component. An image acquisition camera 308 is mounted on the detection display 307. A horizontal pushing component is mounted on the second power rotating rod 303. A collection box 311 is provided below the second frame 301. The longitudinal pushing component includes a first moving push platform 3061 longitudinally arranged inside the L-shaped frame 3051. A first electric telescopic rod 306 is mounted on the first moving push platform 3061. The lateral pushing assembly includes a second movable pusher 309 mounted on the second power rotating rod 303, and a second electric telescopic rod 310 fixedly mounted on the second movable pusher 309. The outer surfaces of both the first power rotating rod 302 and the second power rotating rod 303 are covered with a soft, non-slip material. The moving assembly 305 includes a lateral lead screw mounted on the rear side of the second frame 301, a power motor mounted on the lateral lead screw, and a moving stage mounted on the outer surface of the lateral lead screw. The detection display 307 is connected to the image acquisition camera 308 via a signal. The image acquisition camera 308 is a CCD area array camera or a CCD line array camera, which is existing technology. To ensure sufficient shooting angle and meet the requirement of 360° shooting of the cigarette, the rotation speed of the first power rotating rod 302 and the second power rotating rod 303 can be set according to the shooting frequency of the image acquisition camera 308, and the rotation speed of the reduction motor 304 can be adjusted accordingly.

[0028] Working principle: In use, the first reduction power source 204 is started to drive the first rotating shaft 203 and the material trough assembly to rotate slowly. The cigarette to be tested is placed in the material trough assembly through the feeding trough 2021. By rotating, the cigarette to be tested is moved circumferentially to the outlet trough 2022. The second reduction power source 207 is started to drive the second rotating shaft 205 to rotate, and drive the conveyor belt 2051 and the material trough 206 to move. At the same time, the cigarette to be tested is moved to the guide plate 211. At this time, the lifting baffle assembly is in the closed state. The second electric telescopic rod 310 is started to push the second moving push platform 309, the second power rotating rod 303, and the reduction motor 304 to move towards the first power rotating rod 302, so that the second power rotating rod 303 and the first power rotating rod 302 move a certain distance and are adjusted to be the same as the diameter of the cigarette to be tested. The reduction motor 310 is started. 04. The first power rotating rod 302 and the second power rotating rod 303 are rotated, which in turn rotates the cigarette to be tested. The moving component 305 is activated to move the L-shaped frame 3051, the detection display 307 and the image acquisition camera 308 laterally, so that the detection display 307 and the image acquisition camera 308 are moved above the cigarette to be tested. The detection display 307 and the image acquisition camera 308 are activated to detect the cigarette to be tested. At the same time, the first electric telescopic rod 306 is activated to push the first moving push platform 3061, the detection display 307 and the image acquisition camera 308 to move longitudinally above the cigarette to be tested, and to detect the cigarette to be tested longitudinally. After the detection is completed, the second power rotating rod 303 is separated from the first power rotating rod 302, so that the detected cigarette falls from the material drop hole on the base 1 into the collection box 311 for collection.

[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
