Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of packaging technology, and in particular to a flexible packaging system for reusable cigarette boxes. Background Technology

[0002] In the tobacco production industry, reusable cigarette cartons have become the mainstream trend due to their significant advantages such as environmental protection and cost savings, and their application scope is continuously expanding with the advancement of the industry's green production concept. As a key link in tobacco product traceability management and quality control, cigarette carton labels require labeling devices to accurately and efficiently mark core information such as brand, specifications, and traceability information on the reusable cigarette cartons, ensuring traceability in subsequent warehousing, transportation, and sales stages.

[0003] Currently, the widely used reusable cigarette box packaging devices in the tobacco industry generally suffer from insufficient adaptability. Most can only achieve fixed-position labeling for single-brand cigarette boxes, lacking the ability to adapt to multiple brands and the function of automatic adjustment of labeling positions. Taking the packaging workshop of Hong'an Cigarette Factory as an example, the workshop has completed the upgrade of its No. 2 YP18B box-sealing machine, replacing it with a YP18D three-product box-sealing machine. The upgraded equipment can simultaneously connect to six packaging machines, enabling the synchronous box-sealing of three different brands of cigarettes, significantly improving production efficiency and flexibility. However, the accompanying reusable cigarette box labeling device still uses the adaptation structure of the original YP18B single-product box-sealing machine, which has the following key problems:

[0004] On the one hand, the labeling position of existing reusable cigarette box packaging equipment is fixed and the brand information on the labels cannot be automatically switched. Since the reusable cigarette box itself does not have pre-set cigarette specification information, labels need to be affixed through the labeling device to supplement the relevant identification. However, the labeling position of the existing labeling device is a single fixed setting and can only be adapted to the original single specification production scenario. When the equipment switches to produce different brands of cigarettes, it cannot automatically adjust the label content corresponding to the brand information. Manual parameter adjustment is required, which is not only cumbersome to operate, but also prone to label information errors due to human error, seriously affecting the continuity of production.

[0005] On the other hand, existing reusable cigarette box packaging equipment cannot accommodate the size differences between soft and hard cigarette boxes, leading to labeling misalignment. In actual production, there are slight differences in the external dimensions of the reusable cigarette boxes corresponding to soft and hard cigarettes, which necessitates specific adjustments to the standard labeling positions based on the box dimensions. However, existing labeling devices using a fixed labeling method are prone to excessive labeling misalignment, failing to meet the tobacco industry's standards for cigarette box labeling accuracy. Each time the soft or hard cigarette box specifications are changed, the machine must be stopped and the labeling device's position parameters readjusted, which not only prolongs production changeover time and reduces equipment utilization but also increases labor and maintenance costs.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need to propose a flexible packaging system for reusable cigarette boxes to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to solve or at least alleviate some or all of the aforementioned problems. Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide a flexible packaging system for reusable cigarette boxes, enabling automatic labeling of multi-specification reusable cigarette boxes and reducing manual maintenance costs and operational difficulty.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

The driving component is used to drive the label-grabbing component to obtain the label from the marking mechanism and to move the label-grabbing component to the corresponding labeling position according to the identification code, so as to affix the label to the circulating cigarette box.

[0012] In some optional embodiments, the automatic labeling device further includes a visual recognition module, which is communicatively connected to the barcode scanning device and is used to verify the affixing status of the label affixed to the reusable cigarette box.

[0015] In some optional embodiments, the reusable cigarette box flexible packaging system is located downstream of the sealing machine, which includes a control unit and a baffle assembly located at the outlet of the sealing machine. The baffle assembly and the automatic labeling device are both communicatively connected to the control unit. The automatic labeling device is configured to send a release signal to the control unit after labeling is completed, so that the control unit controls the baffle assembly to release the labeled reusable cigarette box.

[0016] In some optional embodiments, the baffle assembly is further provided with a positioning detection element, which is communicatively connected to the automatic labeling device and configured to send a labeling signal to the automatic labeling device when it detects that the circulating cigarette box is in contact with the baffle assembly.

[0017] In some alternative embodiments, the positioning detection element includes a photoelectric sensor.

[0018] In some optional embodiments, the automatic labeling device further includes an unwinding mechanism and a label roll. The unwinding mechanism includes an unwinding module, a rewinding module, and a label roll. The label roll is initially wound around the unwinding module and passes through the labeling mechanism along the unwinding direction of the unwinding module. The end of the label roll is wound into the rewinding module.

[0019] In some alternative embodiments, the labeling mechanism has a label receiving plate at the label outlet for receiving the label.

[0020] In some alternative embodiments, the label plate surface is provided with an anti-sticking layer.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0035] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar parts or parts having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0036] In this invention, the terms "comprising," "including," "having," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes that element.

[0037] In this invention, the term "and / or" describes the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent three situations: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. Additionally, in this invention, the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "and / or" relationship.

[0038] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," "fixed," "combined," "coupled," and "installed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection or a detachable connection; they can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. For example, a direct connection refers to two parts or components being connected together without an intermediate component, while an indirect connection refers to two parts or components each being connected to at least one intermediate component, with the connection achieved through the intermediate component. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances. Furthermore, "connected" and "coupled" are not limited to physical or mechanical connections or couplings, but can also include electrical connections or couplings.

[0039] In this invention, those skilled in the art will understand that relative terms (e.g., “about,” “approximately,” “basically,” etc.) used in conjunction with quantities or conditions are to include the value and have the meaning indicated by the context. For example, such relative terms include at least the degree of error associated with the measurement of a particular value, tolerances associated with the particular value due to manufacturing, assembly, use, etc. Such terms should also be considered as disclosing a range defined by the absolute values ​​of the two endpoints. Relative terms may refer to a certain percentage (e.g., 1%, 5%, 10% or more) of the indicated value. Numerical values ​​not using relative terms should also be disclosed as specific values ​​with tolerances. Furthermore, “basically” when expressing relative angular relationships (e.g., substantially parallel, substantially perpendicular) may refer to a certain degree (e.g., 1 degree, 5 degrees, 10 degrees or more) added to or subtracted from the indicated angle.

[0040] In this invention, those skilled in the art will understand that the function performed by a component can be performed by one component, multiple components, one part, or multiple parts. Similarly, the function performed by a part can be performed by one part, one component, or a combination of multiple parts.

[0041] In this utility model, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "front," and "rear," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used solely for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. Furthermore, in the context, it should be understood that when an element is mentioned as being "upper" or "lower" of another element, it can be directly connected to the other element "upper" or "lower," or indirectly connected through an intermediate element. It should also be understood that directional terms such as "upper side," "lower side," "left side," "right side," "front side," and "rear side" not only represent positive orientation but can also be understood as lateral orientation. For example, "above," "on top of," "upper side of," and "above" of the first feature and the second feature include the first feature being directly above, to the upper left, to the upper right, to the upper front, and to the upper rear of the second feature, or simply indicating that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. The terms "below," "under," "below," and "below" for "first feature" and "second feature" include situations where the first feature is directly below, to the lower left, to the lower right, in front of, or behind the second feature, or simply indicate that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used merely for descriptive distinction and have no specific meaning.

[0042] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a flexible packaging system for reusable cigarette boxes, used for automatically labeling reusable cigarette boxes 100. It should be noted that reusable cigarette boxes 100 have various specifications, and the labeling positions of reusable cigarette boxes 100 of different specifications are different. In addition, the information on the label 300 is associated with the cigarette brand of the contents of the reusable cigarette box 100.

[0043] Therefore, the flexible packaging system for reusable cigarette boxes provided in this embodiment includes a barcode scanning device 1 and an automatic labeling device 2. The barcode scanning device 1 is configured to read the identification code 200 on the reusable cigarette box 100. The automatic labeling device 2 includes a marking mechanism 21 and a labeling mechanism 22. The labeling mechanism 22 includes a driving component 221 and a label picking component 222. The marking mechanism 21 is communicatively connected to the barcode scanning device 1 and is configured to print the corresponding label 300 according to the identification code 200. The driving component 221 is communicatively connected to the barcode scanning device 1. The label picking component 222 is located at the output end of the driving component 221. The driving component 221 is used to drive the label picking component 222 to pick up the label 300 from the marking mechanism 21 and drive the label picking component 222 to move to the corresponding labeling position according to the identification code 200 so as to attach the label 300 to the reusable cigarette box 100.

[0044] The above-mentioned flexible packaging system for reusable cigarette boxes can automatically switch the printing of multi-specification cigarette box labels 300 and adaptively adjust the labeling position of multi-specification reusable cigarette boxes, thereby realizing flexible automatic packaging of multi-specification reusable cigarette boxes 100, reducing the need for manual intervention in the debugging and parameter setting of labeling devices, and reducing manual maintenance costs and operational difficulty.

[0045] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the drive component 221 adopts a six-axis robotic arm, which can realize omnidirectional flexible labeling operations in three-dimensional space through multi-joint coordinated movement, adapting to the labeling needs of different specifications of circulating cigarette boxes 100, effectively improving work efficiency, and enhancing the versatility and production applicability of the automatic labeling device 2.

[0046] Optionally, the label-taking component 222 includes a label-taking plate 2221 and a plurality of suction holes 2222 disposed on the label-taking plate 2221. The label-taking plate 2221 is disposed at the output end of the drive component 221, and the suction holes 2222 are connected to a negative pressure source for absorbing or releasing the label 300.

[0047] In this embodiment, the automatic labeling device 2 also includes a frame 27 and an industrial control computer 28. The barcode scanning device 1, the marking mechanism 21, and the automatic labeling device 2 are all communicatively connected to the industrial control computer 28. The industrial control computer 28 is used to control the coordinated operation of each device. The marking mechanism 21 and the drive assembly 221 are both located inside the frame 27. A connecting arm 29 extends outward from the top of the frame 27 for mounting the industrial control computer 28, so that the industrial control computer 28 can be installed outside the frame 27 for easy operation by staff.

[0048] In some optional embodiments, the automatic labeling device 2 further includes a visual recognition module 23, which is communicatively connected to the barcode scanning device 1. The visual recognition module 23 is located at the output end of the drive component 221. After the drive component 221 drives the label-taking component 222 to complete the labeling, the drive component 221 can drive the visual recognition module 23 to move to the corresponding labeling position according to the identification code 200, so as to verify the labeling status of the label 300 affixed to the reusable cigarette box 100, so as to count and collect reusable cigarette boxes 100 with unqualified labeling status, and ensure the labeling quality of the finished cigarette boxes. The labeling status verification includes the labeling position and physical quality verification of the label 300. When the label 300 has wrinkles, is skewed, deviates from the labeling position, or is unclear, it is determined that the label 300 has an unqualified labeling status. This avoids the failure of cigarette box information identification in subsequent warehousing and transportation processes due to unqualified label 300 affixing, ensuring the integrity of the cigarette product traceability chain; at the same time, it eliminates the need for manual inspection of the status of each label 300, reducing manual inspection costs and the risk of missed inspections, further improving the automation level of the coding process, and enhancing the overall reliability of the reusable cigarette box flexible packaging system.

[0049] The visual recognition module 23 includes, but is not limited to, the use of a smart camera. Its specific structure is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0050] like Figure 2 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the reusable cigarette box flexible packaging system also includes a rejection device 3, which is communicatively connected to the visual recognition module 23. The rejection device 3 is configured to transfer the unqualified reusable cigarette box 100 to the waste flow after the visual recognition module 23 detects unqualified labeling. On the one hand, it can quickly intercept unqualified cigarette boxes, preventing them from entering subsequent warehousing, transportation, and sales stages, preventing traceability gaps caused by inaccurate identification of cigarette box information, ensuring the standardization of tobacco product lifecycle management, and meeting the strict quality control requirements of the tobacco industry. On the other hand, it eliminates the need for manual screening of unqualified cigarette boxes, reducing manual sorting costs and operational errors, ensuring a continuous and smooth production process, and further improving the automation and reliability of the reusable cigarette box flexible packaging system.

[0051] The rejection device 3 includes, but is not limited to, the use of a robotic arm or an electric push rod, which is not limited here.

[0052] In some optional embodiments, the reusable cigarette box flexible packaging system also includes a verification module 4 communicatively connected to the rejection device 3. The verification module 4 includes a first barcode reader 41 and a second barcode reader 42. The first barcode reader 41 is used to read the identification code 200 on the reusable cigarette box 100 after labeling, and the second barcode reader 42 is used to read the label 300 information on the reusable cigarette box 100 after labeling. The rejection device 3 is also configured to transfer the reusable cigarette box 100 with mismatched information to the waste flow if the two readings do not match. Dual barcode verification can accurately identify mismatches between the identification code 200 and the label 300 information, preventing cigarette boxes with inconsistent information from flowing into subsequent stages, controlling the quality of cigarette box output from the source, and strictly complying with the tobacco industry's standardized requirements for the qualification of cigarette box labeling; at the same time, it eliminates the need for manual verification of information one by one, avoiding the risk of unqualified products flowing out due to human error. Together with visual recognition labeling status detection and automatic rejection functions, it forms a comprehensive quality control system, effectively reducing production losses and quality liability risks caused by unqualified products.

[0053] like Figure 2 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the reusable cigarette box flexible packaging system is located downstream of the sealing machine 400. The sealing machine 400 includes a control unit and a baffle assembly 410 located at the outlet of the sealing machine 400. Both the baffle assembly 410 and the automatic labeling device 2 are communicatively connected to the control unit. The automatic labeling device 2 is configured to send a release signal to the control unit after labeling is completed, so that the control unit controls the baffle assembly 410 to release the labeled reusable cigarette box 100. The circulating cigarette box 100 output by the carton sealing machine 400 is blocked by the baffle assembly 410, ensuring that the circulating cigarette box 100 is fixed in position so that the automatic labeling device 2 can perform the labeling operation. After the automatic labeling device 2 completes the labeling, it sends a release signal to the control unit. The control unit then drives the baffle assembly 410 to release the circulating cigarette box 100, ensuring that only the circulating cigarette box 100 with the complete labeling operation can enter the subsequent stage. This achieves a seamless connection between the labeling and release process, ensuring that the production rhythm of the carton sealing machine 400 and the circulating cigarette box flexible packaging system is synchronized, further improving the overall operating efficiency of the production line and the stability of qualified cigarette box output.

[0054] In some optional embodiments, the baffle assembly 410 is further provided with a positioning detection element. The positioning detection element is communicatively connected to the automatic labeling device 2 and is configured to send a labeling signal to the automatic labeling device 2 when it detects that the circulating tobacco box 100 is in contact with the baffle assembly 410. The positioning detection element can accurately capture the contact state between the circulating tobacco box 100 and the baffle assembly 410, and then send a labeling signal to the automatic labeling device 2 in a timely manner. This ensures that the labeling is started only after the circulating tobacco box 100 is in position, which helps to ensure the accuracy of the labeling position and the quality of the label 300, while improving the automation level and operating efficiency of the automatic labeling device 2.

[0055] In some optional embodiments, the positioning detection element includes a photoelectric sensor. The photoelectric sensor adopts a non-contact detection method, avoiding direct friction and collision with the circulating tobacco box 100. This reduces wear and tear on the detection element itself, extends its service life, and protects the surface of the tobacco box from scratches, ensuring the reusability of the circulating tobacco box 100.

[0056] Optionally, the positioning detection device may include, but is not limited to, proximity sensors or pressure sensors, without limitation.

[0057] like Figure 3 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the automatic labeling device 2 further includes an unwinding mechanism 24 and a label roll. The unwinding mechanism 24 includes an unwinding module, a rewinding module, and a label roll. The label roll is initially wound around the unwinding module and passes through the labeling mechanism 21 along the unwinding direction of the unwinding module. The end of the label roll is rewound to the rewinding module. The labeling mechanism 21 is used to print labels 300. This achieves automatic continuous feeding and waste recycling of label 300 paper, adapting to the needs of automated continuous production.

[0058] In some optional embodiments, the labeling mechanism 21 has a label receiving plate 26 at its label outlet for receiving the label 300. The label receiving plate 26 can provide precise and flat support for the label 300 output by the labeling mechanism 21, avoiding problems such as the label 300 falling, wrinkling, or shifting due to its own flexibility or the labeling force. This ensures that the label 300 always maintains a preset posture, making it easy for the label picking mechanism to quickly and accurately grab or directly attach it to the surface of the circulating cigarette box 100, which helps to improve the success rate and positioning accuracy of label 300 transfer.

[0059] In some optional embodiments, the label receiving plate 26 has an anti-stick layer on its surface. This prevents the label 300 from sticking to the label receiving plate 26 due to its own adhesiveness or the influence of environmental humidity, ensuring that the label 300 can be quickly and completely removed from the label receiving plate 26. This prevents labeling failures caused by problems such as tearing or residue of the label 300, and also ensures the smoothness of the subsequent gripping and labeling actions of the automatic labeling mechanism 22.

[0060] The anti-stick layer includes, but is not limited to, Teflon coating or silicone coating, and is not limited to these.

[0061] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
