The cigarette packet generally comprises a cigarette case, inner lining paper, inner frame paper and label paper, wherein the inner lining paper is adhered to the inner wall of the cigarette case, the inner frame paper is arranged between the inner lining paper and the cigarette case, and the label paper is wrapped outside the cigarette case. The inner frame paper plays the role of fixing the shape and supporting of cigarettes and is an indispensable part in cigarette packet packaging.
In the process of packaging cigarette packets, lining paper is generally adhered to the inner wall of the cigarette packet, inner frame paper is adhered to outer shell paper, and label paper is wrapped outside the cigarette packet. In the tobacco bale after the packing is accomplished, inside casing paper and inside lining paper just are sheltered from by the trade mark paper completely, can't judge whether inside casing paper exists or the disappearance in the tobacco bale, can cause the product yield to descend because of inside casing paper does not exist or damaged.
Based on the above consideration, the inventors have conducted intensive studies and designed an inner frame paper detection system and a detection method thereof, which can detect the inner frame paper 10 before and after the inner frame paper is bonded to the cigarette case.
Referring to fig. 1 and fig. 2, an inner frame paper detecting system in an embodiment includes a loading position 11, a first detecting position 12, a second detecting position 13, a first processing position 14, and a second processing position 15. The first detection position 12 is arranged between the loading position 11 and the first processing position 14, and the second detection position 13 is arranged between the first processing position 14 and the second processing position 15.
Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the inner frame paper detecting system includes a first conveying device 100, a second conveying device 200, a third conveying device 300, a first detecting device 400, and a second detecting device 500. The first conveying device 100 is used for conveying cigarette packets to the first processing station 14, the second conveying device 200 is used for conveying the inner frame paper 10 to the first processing station 14 from the loading position 11 and enabling the cigarette packets to be adhered to the inner frame paper 10 at the first processing station 14 to form the intermediate piece 20, and the third conveying device 300 is used for conveying the intermediate piece 20 to the second processing station 15 from the first processing station 14.
As shown in fig. 1, the first detecting device 400 is disposed at the first detecting position 12, and the first detecting device 400 is configured to detect whether the inner frame paper 10 exists, and select whether to send out the first rejecting signal according to a detection result. The second detection device 500 is disposed at the second detection position 13, and the second detection device 500 is configured to detect whether the inner frame paper 10 is defective and select whether to send out a second rejection signal according to the detection result.
With the above arrangement, before the inner frame paper 10 is conveyed to the first processing station 14 to form the intermediate member 20, the first detection device 400 of the first detection station 12 can first determine whether the inner frame paper 10 in the second conveying device 200 exists; after the intermediate member 20 is formed, the second detection device 500 of the second detection position 13 can determine whether the inner frame paper 10 of the intermediate member 20 is defective again, and send out a rejection signal according to the detection results of two times, so that the probability that no inner frame paper 10 or the inner frame paper 10 is damaged in the final finished product is reduced, and the yield of the finished product is improved.
As shown in fig. 2, the inner frame paper detection system further includes a feeding device 600, and the inner frame paper 10 is placed at the loading position 11 by the feeding device 600. Through this setting, do benefit to the packing efficiency who improves the tobacco bale.
In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, the feeding device 600 is an F-shaped swing link, the F-shaped swing link includes two opposite clamping plates which are arranged at an interval, the inner frame paper 10 is clamped between the two clamping plates, and the F-shaped swing link rotates to accurately place the inner frame paper 10 on the loading position 11. In other embodiments, the loading device 600 may also be a robot.
Here, as in the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the first conveyor 100, the second conveyor 200, and the third conveyor 300 are all rotatable.
For example, as shown in fig. 1, the first conveyor 100 rotates clockwise about a vertical axis to the first processing station 14, the second conveyor 200 can rotate about a vertical axis from the loading position 11 to the first processing station 14, and the first magazine 101 of the first conveyor 100 is overlapped with the second magazine 201 of the second conveyor 200 at the first processing station 14, so that the cigarette box in the first magazine 101 is adhered to the inner frame paper 10 in the second magazine 201 to form the intermediate member 20. The second conveying device 200 continues to drive the intermediate piece 20 to rotate, and the third conveying device 300 rotates around the horizontal shaft and can receive the intermediate piece 20 output by the second conveying device 200 and drive the intermediate piece 20 to rotate from the first processing position 14 to the second processing position 15.
As shown in fig. 3, the inner frame paper detection system further includes a controller 700 and a reject button 800, which are electrically connected, the controller 700 is electrically connected to the first detection device 400 and the second detection device 500, and the reject button 800 is triggered when the controller 700 receives the first reject signal and/or the second reject signal.
Here, as shown in fig. 3, in order to prevent the first detecting device 400 and the second detecting device 500 from generating an erroneous reject signal due to a failure, even if the controller 700 receives the first reject signal and/or the second reject signal, the reject mode is not entered if the reject button 800 is not activated. Only when the removing button 800 is triggered (i.e., the contact circuits are turned on), the removing mode is entered, and the middle member 20 having no or defective inner frame paper 10 is removed.
It can be understood that after entering the rejecting mode, the first conveyor 100, the second conveyor 200, and the third conveyor 300 do not stop operating normally, and the middle pieces 20 with no or defective inner frame paper 10 are rejected at the second detection position 13 to avoid affecting the cigarette packet packing efficiency.
In a specific embodiment, for the convenience of identification, when the first rejection signal or the second rejection signal is sent out, the middle part 20 where the inner frame paper 10 is not present or defective may be simultaneously identified as defective.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 4, the first detecting device 400 includes a transmitter 410 and a receiver 420 electrically connected to each other, and the receiver 420 is electrically connected to the controller 700.

With this arrangement, it is possible to effectively determine whether or not the inner frame paper 10 is present in the first conveying device 100.
For example, if the inner frame paper 10 does not exist, the intensity of the reflected light received by the receiver 420 is smaller than the preset light intensity, and a first rejection signal is sent out at this time; if the inner frame paper 10 exists, the intensity of the reflected light received by the receiver 420 is approximately equal to the preset light intensity, and the first rejection signal is not sent out.
In the present embodiment, the first detection device 400 is a diffuse reflection photodetector, and can detect only the presence of the interior frame paper 10. In another embodiment, the first detection device 400 may be a visual-optoelectronic integrated detector, and may detect whether the inner frame paper 10 is present or not, or whether the inner frame paper 10 is broken or not.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 3, the second detecting device 500 includes a camera unit 510 and an image processing module 520 electrically connected to each other, and the image processing module 520 is connected to the controller 700.
In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, the camera unit 510 is configured to collect image information of the middleware 20 at the second detection position 13, and the image processing module 520 is configured to receive the image information and select whether to send a second reject signal to the controller 700 according to the image information. With this arrangement, it is possible to effectively determine whether or not the inner frame paper 10 in the middle member 20 is defective.
For example, image information such as the edge, brightness, color, width, and the like of the area of the inner frame paper 10 set in the middle part 20 is acquired and compared with preset image information, if the deviation between the acquired image information and the preset information is large, it is determined that the inner frame paper 10 is not present or incomplete, and a second rejection signal is sent at this time; if the collected image information is in accordance with the preset information, the inner frame paper 10 is judged to be complete, and a second eliminating signal is not sent out at the moment.

For example, the number of the camera units 510 is at least two, and the two camera units 510 are different in arrangement position and angle, so as to acquire clear images at different positions and different angles. Each image pickup unit 510 may be of a different type or the same type, and may be provided according to actual needs.
