Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of tobacco, in particular to a confluence sorting method and equipment for a cigarette.

Background

At present, in the cigarette carton sorting process, the distance between orders, the cigarette placing distance of each mechanical arm in the orders, the swinging distance of a belt and the like all occupy a large amount of belt length, so that the number of cigarette cartons capable of being placed on each section of belt is reduced. Especially in the confluence letter sorting process of strip cigarette, because of a large amount of intervals, lead to the belt rate of utilization low, influence confluence letter sorting efficiency. Therefore, there is a need to develop a new cigarette carton sorting method to reduce belt run-out and improve cigarette carton sorting line efficiency.

Disclosure of Invention

The invention mainly aims to provide a cigarette carton converging sorting method and equipment, which can effectively reduce belt idle running and improve cigarette carton converging sorting efficiency.

In order to achieve the purpose, the invention provides a confluence sorting method of cigarettes, which comprises the following steps:

an order A is sent by a manipulator₁The cigarettes are divided into a plurality of piles and are sequentially placed on the conveying belt, and the plurality of piles of cigarettes move along with the conveying belt;

blocking order A by smoke blocking plate₁A first stack of cigarettes in the carton, order A₁Multiple stacks of cigarettes in the cigarettes approach to form a stack of cigarettes, and then the stack of cigarettes is placed in order A₁Front and previous order A₀A vacant conveying belt space is reserved between the two belts;

in order A₁And ordersA₀The space of the conveyor belt reserved between the two orders is placed and ordered A₁Interflowing strip cigarette A₁′。

Further, order A is blocked by a smoke blocking plate₁A first stack of cigarettes in the carton, order A₁A plurality of piles of strip cigarette in the strip cigarette are close to form a pile of strip cigarette, specifically refer to:

order A detection by belt encoder₁When the first cigarette is piled as order A₁When the first stack of cigarettes approaches the cigarette blocking plate, the cigarette blocking plate extends out to block the order A₁The first pile of cigarettes; when order A ₁When a plurality of stacks of cigarettes in the cigarettes approach to form a stack of cigarettes, the cigarette blocking plate retracts to enable the order A to be in order₁The cigarette carton is conveyed forward along the conveying belt.

According to another aspect of the invention, the confluent sorting equipment for the cigarette carton comprises a conveying belt and a manipulator for placing the cigarette carton on the conveying belt, wherein a cigarette blocking plate, a cigarette blocking driving mechanism, a belt encoder and a controller are arranged above the conveying belt, the cigarette blocking driving mechanism is connected with the cigarette blocking plate, and the manipulator, the belt encoder and the cigarette blocking driving mechanism are connected with the controller; the belt encoder detects the running distance of the conveying belt, and orders A on the conveying belt are processed₁When the first stack of cigarettes in the strip cigarettes moves to be close to the cigarette blocking plate, the controller drives the cigarette blocking plate to move downwards through the cigarette blocking driving mechanism so as to block the order A₁Order A for the first stack of cigarettes in the carton₁The multiple piles of cigarettes are closed, so that the order A is made₁With the previous order A₀Form supply and order A in between₁Interflowing strip cigarette A₁' space of the conveyor belt.

By applying the technical scheme of the invention, the order A is blocked by arranging the smoke blocking plate₁A first stack of cigarettes in the carton, order A₁Multiple stacks of cigarettes in the cigarettes approach to form a stack of cigarettes, and then the order A is formed ₁Front and previous order A₀A vacant conveying belt space is reserved between the two parts, which is convenient for ordering A₁And the previous order A₀The space of the conveyor belt reserved between the two orders is placed and ordered A₁Interflowing strip cigarette A₁'. Confluence of the strip of cigarettesThe sorting method and the sorting equipment can effectively reduce the distance between multiple piles of cigarettes in the order, improve the utilization rate of the conveying belt and further improve the converging sorting efficiency of the cigarettes.
