[0043] Tobacco is classified according to its size and specifications, including thick cigarettes, thin cigarettes, medium cigarettes, and short cigarettes. Once packaged, the corresponding cigarette packs come in different sizes.

[0044] In the tobacco sorting field, cabinet-type cigarette sorting machines are currently used to sort cigarettes in cartons. When the logistics sorting system issues an order, the cabinet-type machine storing the specified cartons of cigarettes sorts out the specified type and quantity of cigarettes, and finally packages them together to complete the sorting.

[0045] However, the storage channels of existing cigarette sorting cabinet machines are relatively deep, and there is a significant drop between the cigarette inlet and the bottom of the storage channel. During the process of replenishing cigarettes into the storage channel by the replenishment truck, the cigarettes are easily damaged due to falling after entering the storage channel from the cigarette inlet.

[0046] To address the issue of cigarette cartons being easily damaged during replenishment, this application provides an automatic cigarette carton sorting cabinet machine and a cigarette carton sorting system. The following will describe in detail the solutions provided by the embodiments of this application with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0047] Figure 1This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an automatic cigarette sorting cabinet machine provided in one embodiment of this application; Figure 2 yes Figure 1 Another schematic diagram of the automatic cigarette sorting cabinet machine in the middle; Figure 3 yes Figure 1 A first schematic diagram of the cigarette storage component 120 of the automatic cigarette sorting cabinet machine in China; Figure 4 yes Figure 1 A second schematic diagram of the cigarette storage component 120 of the automatic cigarette sorting cabinet machine in the middle; Figure 5 yes Figure 1 The third schematic diagram shows the cigarette storage component 120 of the automatic cigarette sorting cabinet machine.

[0048] Reference Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in a first aspect, this application provides an automatic cigarette sorting cabinet machine, including a cabinet 110, multiple cigarette storage components 120, and a cigarette sorting component 130. The cabinet 110 is primarily a frame structure composed of profiles. Multiple cigarette storage components 120 are arranged side-by-side within the cabinet 110. The cigarette storage components 120 store cigarettes to be sorted. The cigarette sorting component 130 is located within the cabinet 110, below the cigarette storage components 120, and sequentially ejects cigarettes of a specified type and quantity from the cigarette storage components 120 according to orders. A cigarette buffer component 140 is provided on each cigarette storage component 120 to receive cigarettes replenished to the cigarette storage component 120, preventing cigarettes entering through the inlet of the cigarette storage component 120 from falling directly to the bottom of the cigarette storage component 120, thereby preventing damage to the cigarettes.

[0049] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, exemplarily, the cigarette storage assembly 120 includes a first storage component 121 and a second storage component 122 disposed opposite to each other. A cigarette storage channel 123 is formed between the first storage component 121 and the second storage component 122, and cigarettes are stacked sequentially within the cigarette storage channel 123. The cigarette buffer assembly 140 can selectively block the cigarette storage channel 123 to prevent cigarettes from falling directly to the bottom. Specifically, when the number of cigarettes in the cigarette storage assembly 120 is less than the set height of the cigarette buffer assembly 140, the cigarette buffer assembly 140 blocks the cigarette storage channel 123, catching cigarettes added to the cigarette storage assembly 120 from the cigarette inlet. After the cigarette buffer assembly 140 has caught a portion of the cigarettes, it opens the cigarette storage channel 123, and the cigarettes on the cigarette buffer assembly 140 fall to the bottom of the cigarette storage assembly 120. Understandably, because the cigarette pack buffer component 140 acts as a buffer in the middle of the cigarette pack storage component 120, it prevents the cigarette packs from falling directly to the bottom and causing damage. For example, the cigarette pack buffer component 140 can be positioned at the middle height of the cigarette pack storage component 120.

[0050] In some examples, a cigarette buffer assembly 140 is provided on either the first storage unit 121 or the second storage unit 122. In other examples, both the first storage unit 121 and the second storage unit 122 are provided with cigarette buffer assemblies 140, and the cigarette buffer assemblies 140 on both sides are arranged opposite each other, jointly blocking the cigarette storage channel 123. As shown in Figure 5, in these examples, one cigarette buffer assembly 140 is provided on each of the first storage unit 121 and the second storage unit 122, and the two cigarette buffer assemblies 140 arranged opposite each other can move in opposite directions, and together they block the cigarette storage channel 123.

[0051] For example, both the first storage component 121 and the second storage component 122 are storage plates, which are arranged opposite each other at a certain distance to form a cigarette storage channel 123. The distance between the two storage plates can be adjusted according to the size of the cigarette pack.

[0052] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, exemplarily, the cigarette pack buffer assembly 140 includes a blocking member 141 and a blocking drive assembly 142. The blocking drive assembly 142 is disposed on the first storage member 121 or the second storage member 122. The blocking member 141 is connected to the blocking drive assembly 142. The blocking drive assembly 142 drives the blocking member 141 through the first storage member 121 or the second storage member 122 and into the cigarette pack storage channel 123 to block the cigarette pack storage channel 123. It should be noted that both the first storage member 121 and the second storage member 122 are provided with through holes for the blocking member 141 to pass through. Exemplarily, the blocking member 141 can be a blocking plate or multiple spaced blocking rods. The blocking drive assembly 142 can be a cylinder, an electric cylinder, an electric push rod, or other driving component, as long as it can drive the blocking member 141 to move horizontally.

[0053] In addition, in some examples, a cigarette detection component 170 is provided on the first storage unit 121 and / or the second storage unit 122. The cigarette detection component 170 is used to determine whether the cigarette buffer component 140 needs to be activated.

[0054] Specifically, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the cigarette detection component 170 includes a first detection unit 171 and a second detection unit 172. The first detection unit 171 and the second detection unit 172 are disposed on the same side and are both disposed on the first storage component 121 or the second storage component 122. For example, the first detection unit 171 is disposed at the same height as the cigarette buffer assembly 140, and is used to detect whether there are cigarettes at the same height in the cigarette storage channel 123 as the cigarette buffer assembly 140. The second detection unit 172 is disposed below the first detection unit 171 and at a certain distance, and is used to detect whether there are cigarettes at that height in the cigarette storage channel 123. When cigarettes are replenished into the cigarette storage assembly 120 of the automatic sorting cabinet machine, the cigarette detection component 170 performs a detection once each time the replenishment device replenishes cigarettes to determine whether the cigarette buffer assembly 140 needs to be activated.

[0055] In some examples, the second detection unit 172 within the cigarette storage assembly 120 can also be used for cigarette shortage detection. The second detection unit 172 periodically checks whether cigarettes are present at a corresponding height. If the second detection unit 172 detects that no cigarettes are present at the corresponding height, it indicates that the number of cigarettes in the cigarette storage assembly 120 is low or there are no cigarettes left. At this time, a cigarette shortage alarm will be triggered, and the replenishment device will replenish cigarettes to the cigarette buffer assembly 120. Under this condition, since there are no cigarettes at the corresponding height of the second detection unit 172, if the replenished cigarettes fall directly, the cigarettes may be damaged due to the large height difference. Therefore, the cigarette buffer assembly 140 is activated to block the cigarette storage channel 123, supporting the replenished cigarettes and preventing them from falling directly to the bottom.

[0056] When a portion of cigarettes is replenished, the cigarette buffer assembly 140 activates to open the cigarette storage channel 123, allowing cigarettes above the buffer assembly 140 to fall below it. If the second detection unit 172 detects cigarettes at its corresponding height, while the first detection unit 171 detects no cigarettes at its corresponding height, it indicates that the height difference between the replenished cigarettes and their direct fall is still too large. In this case, the cigarette buffer assembly 140 still needs to activate to block the cigarette storage channel 123. Upon receiving the replenished cigarettes, it continues to activate to open the cigarette storage channel 123, allowing the replenished cigarettes to fall. Then, the first detection unit 171 and the second detection unit 172 continue to detect whether cigarettes are present at the corresponding height. If cigarettes are present at the corresponding heights of both the first detection unit 171 and the second detection unit 172, the cigarette buffer assembly 140 stops activating, and the replenishment device continues to replenish the cigarette storage channel 123.

[0057] In some examples, the replenishment device checks each cigarette storage unit 120 of the automatic replenishment cabinet to see if it needs replenishment. If any cigarette storage unit 120 needs replenishment, the first detection unit 171 and the second detection unit 172 in that cigarette storage unit 120 detect whether there are cigarettes at the corresponding height position to determine whether the cigarette buffer unit 140 needs to be activated. If the second detection unit 172 detects that there are no cigarettes at the corresponding height, it means that the height difference of the replenished cigarettes falling directly is too large and there is a risk of damage. Therefore, the cigarette buffer unit 140 is activated to block the cigarette storage channel 123, supporting the replenished cigarettes and preventing them from falling directly to the bottom. After the cigarettes are replenished, the cigarette buffer unit 140 is activated to open the cigarette storage channel 123, and the cigarettes above the cigarette buffer unit 140 fall below it.

[0058] If the second detection unit 172 detects that there is a cigarette pack at its corresponding height, but the first detection unit 171 detects that there is no cigarette pack at its corresponding height, it means that the height difference of the newly added cigarette pack falling directly is still too large. At this time, the cigarette pack buffer component 140 operates to block the cigarette pack storage channel 123. After receiving the newly added cigarette pack, it continues to operate to open the cigarette pack storage channel 123, so that the newly added cigarette pack falls.

[0059] If both the first detection unit 171 and the second detection unit 172 detect the presence of cigarette packs at the corresponding height, the cigarette pack buffer component 140 does not need to be activated, and the replenishment device can continuously replenish the cigarette packs into the automatic cigarette sorting cabinet.

[0060] Reference Figure 3 As shown, the cigarette storage assembly 120 also includes a hinge assembly 150. One end of the hinge assembly 150 is connected to the first storage component 121, and the other end is connected to the second storage component 122. Both the first storage component 121 and the second storage component 122 are slidably connected to the cabinet 110 via slide rails. The first storage component 121 and the second storage component 122 can move relative to or towards each other to change the distance between them, thereby accommodating cigarettes of different sizes. For example, the distance between the first storage component 121 and the second storage component 122 can be adjusted by manually pushing them. After adjustment, locking bolts are used to secure the first storage component 121 and the second storage component 122 to the cabinet 110. For example, the hinge assembly 150 can be a hinged scissor assembly.

[0061] For example, in some examples, the first storage component 121 and the second storage component 122 are respectively fixedly connected to a connecting plate. After adjusting the first storage component 121 and the second storage component 122 to the appropriate position, the connecting plate is fixed to the cabinet 110 using locking bolts. In some examples, multiple lead screw adjustment assemblies are horizontally arranged on the cabinet 110, each lead screw adjustment assembly corresponding to a cigarette storage assembly 120. The lead screw adjustment assembly includes an adjustment handwheel, a first lead screw, and a second lead screw. The first and second lead screws are arranged along the same straight line, and their thread directions are opposite. Both the first and second lead screws are provided with corresponding lead screw nuts, and each lead screw nut is connected to the corresponding first storage component 121 or second storage component 122. The adjustment handwheel is connected to the first and second lead screws via a gear structure. When the adjustment handwheel is turned, the first lead screw and the second lead screw rotate in the same direction. Since the threads on the two lead screws are in opposite directions, the lead screw nuts that are respectively engaged with the two lead screws can be driven to move towards or away from each other at the same time, thereby driving the first storage component 121 or the second storage component 122 to move towards or away from each other, and adjusting the distance between the two.

[0062] In other examples, the first storage unit 121 and the second storage unit 122 can be connected by a hinge rod, which is connected to a drive assembly. The drive assembly controls the distance between the first storage unit 121 and the second storage unit 122 by controlling the angle of the hinge rod. For example, the drive assembly can be a forward / reverse rotation adjustment dial or a drive screw assembly, both of which are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0063] In some examples, a scale is provided on the cabinet 110 to precisely adjust the distance between the first storage unit 121 and the second storage unit 122, and the scale is close to the first storage unit 121 and the second storage unit 122. By observing the scale, the distance between the first storage unit 121 and the second storage unit 122 can be determined to accurately match the size of the cigarette pack.

[0064] In some examples, the automatic cigarette sorting cabinet machine also includes a cigarette baffle and a baffle drive assembly 160. The cigarette baffle (not shown) is disposed within the cigarette storage channel 123, away from the cigarette inlet. The baffle drive assembly 160 is disposed on the cabinet body 110 and connected to the cigarette baffle. The baffle drive assembly 160 can drive the baffle to move, thereby adjusting the length of the cigarette storage channel 123 to match the size of the cigarettes.

[0065] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, exemplarily, the baffle drive assembly 160 includes a drive screw 161 and a drive wheel 162. One end of the drive screw 161 is connected to the cigarette baffle, and the other end is connected to the cabinet 110. The drive wheel 162 is rotatably mounted on the cabinet 110 via a bearing and cooperates with the drive screw 161. During the rotation of the drive wheel 162, it can drive the screw 161 to move, thereby moving the cigarette baffle and changing the length of the cigarette storage channel 123. Alternatively, the drive wheel 162 can be driven to rotate manually or by other drive components.

[0066] In some examples, the baffle drive assembly 160 further includes a drive handwheel 163, which is rotatably mounted on the cabinet 110 via a bearing and connected to the drive wheel 162 via a transmission component. It is understood that manually rotating the drive handwheel 163 causes the drive wheel 162 to rotate, which in turn drives the screw 161 to move, thus causing the cigarette baffle to move.

[0067] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of a cigarette sorting system provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0068] Secondly, such as Figure 3 As shown, this application also provides a cigarette sorting system, including a cigarette replenishment device 200, a cigarette conveying device 300, and an automatic cigarette sorting cabinet machine 100 as described in any of the first aspects. The cigarette replenishment device 200 is used to replenish cigarettes into the automatic cigarette sorting cabinet machine 100, the automatic cigarette sorting cabinet machine 100 is used to sort cigarettes, and the cigarette conveying device 300 is used to convey the cigarettes sorted by the automatic cigarette sorting cabinet machine 100 to a designated location. Since this cigarette sorting system includes the automatic cigarette sorting cabinet machine 100 in any of the above technical solutions, it has all the beneficial effects of the automatic cigarette sorting cabinet machine 100 in any of the above technical solutions, which will not be repeated here.
