The first belt 21 is arranged on the conveying path of the cigarette rod 8, and the width of the first belt 21 is 1mm-15mm more than that of the cigarette rod 8. The second belt 22 is disposed on the conveying path of the tobacco rod 8, and the width of the first belt 21 is 1mm to 15mm more than the width of the tobacco rod 8. Wherein the first belt 21 and the second belt 22 are arranged in parallel. The width of the tobacco rod 8 refers to the short side of the tobacco rod 8.
One or both of the first belt 21 and the second belt 22 are started asynchronously, so that the posture of the cigarette rod 8 can be changed, and posture correction can be realized.
Referring to fig. 1, in some embodiments, the first belt 21 is provided with a first drive mechanism 23. The first driving mechanism 23 drives the first belt 21 to run, for example, by using a motor. The first driving mechanism 23 drives only the first belt 21 for control.
In some embodiments, the second belt 22 is provided with a second drive mechanism 24. The second driving mechanism 24 drives the second belt 22 to run, for example, by using a motor. The second driving mechanism 24 drives only the second belt 22 for control.

In some embodiments, the corrective effect detection device 4 includes a first sensor 41 and a second sensor 42. The first sensor 41 is arranged upstream of the stop means 3; the second sensor 42 is provided upstream of the first sensor 41.
The first sensor 41 and the second sensor 42 are both photoelectric sensors, for example, and when the first sensor 41 can detect the cigarette rod 8 and the second sensor 42 cannot detect the cigarette rod 8, the cigarette rod 8 is correctly positioned. If both the first sensor 41 and the second sensor 42 are able to detect the rod 8, it is indicated that the rod 8 is tilted and not adjusted in position. As can be seen from the above analysis, it is possible to determine whether the posture of the tobacco rod 8 is correct or not based on the detection signals of the first sensor 41 and the second sensor 42.
Referring to fig. 1, in some embodiments, the distance between the first sensor 41 and the second sensor 42 is 1mm-10mm longer than the length of the tobacco rod 8.
The distance between the first sensor 41 and the second sensor 42 is the distance between them in the conveying direction of the first belt 21, as shown by the arrow in fig. 5, and the arrow in fig. 5 indicates the conveying direction of each belt segment. The arrows in the other figures also indicate the conveying direction of the belt in which the arrows are located.
In some embodiments, the rod attitude correction device further comprises a conveyor 7, the conveyor 7 being disposed adjacent to the correction device 2 for conveying the rods 8 to the correction device 2 and receiving the rods 8 corrected in attitude by the correction device 2.
It can be seen that the correction device 2 divides the transport device 7 into two sections, with the correction device 2 in the middle. If the tobacco rod 8 conveyed to the correcting device 2 by the conveying device 7 is inclined, the correcting device 2 is started to adjust the posture of the tobacco rod 8. If the rod 8 conveyed by the conveyor 7 to the correction device 2 is not tilted, the correction device 2 conveys the rod 8 directly to the next stage of the conveyor 7.
In some embodiments, the conveyor 7 comprises a third belt 71 and a fourth belt 72. The third belt 71 is provided downstream of the correction device 2; the fourth belt 72 is provided upstream of the correction device 2. The fourth belt 72 conveys the tobacco rod 8 to the correcting device 2, and if the tobacco rod is inclined, the correcting device 2 adjusts the posture of the tobacco rod to a set posture; and then conveyed to the third belt 71. If the rod is not tilted, the correction device 2 conveys the rod 8 directly to the third belt 71.
Some specific embodiments are described below.
First, the detailed structure of each part of the tobacco rod posture correction device is described.
1. The structure of the conveying structure will be described first.
The four belt motors are completely the same as the original motors, and the diameters of the four belt pulleys are the same. For ease of description, reference is made to fig. 1, and to the upper, lower, left and right sides of the drawings in the same orientation as fig. 1. The whole conveying belt is divided into a left section area, a middle section area and a right section area, the length of the middle section area is larger than that of one cigarette, and the belt is arranged according to the following modes:
(1) the left area is provided with a third belt 71. The third driving mechanism 73 specifically adopts a motor, the third driving mechanism 73 drives a third belt pulley to rotate, and the third belt pulley drives the third belt 71 to move.
(2) The fourth belt 72 is arranged in the right area, the width of the fourth belt 72 is the same as that of the original conveyor belt, the fourth driving mechanism 74 specifically adopts a motor, the fourth driving mechanism 74 drives a fourth belt pulley, and the fourth belt pulley drives the fourth belt 72.
(3) The intermediate zone is provided with two identical belts, i.e. the first belt 21 and the second belt 22 are of identical construction. Two belts are located on the upper and lower sides of the middle region, the width of the two belts being slightly less than half the width of the fourth belt 72. First actuating mechanism 23 specifically adopts the motor, and first actuating mechanism 23 drives first belt pulley, and first belt pulley drives first belt 21. The second driving mechanism 24 specifically adopts a motor, the second driving mechanism 24 drives a second belt pulley, and the second belt pulley drives the second belt 22.
2. The structure of the posture judging device 1 will be described below.
The posture determining device 1 specifically employs a laser displacement sensor. A laser displacement sensor is fixed on the first baffle 9 at the joint of the second belt 22 and the fourth belt 72, and the emitted laser beam is vertical to the running direction of the conveying belt. When no rod 8 passes the laser displacement sensor, the laser beam strikes the second baffle 10. When the tobacco rod 8 passes by the laser displacement sensor, a laser beam is irradiated onto the tobacco rod 8.
3. The structure of the stop means 3 is described below.
The stop device 3 is specifically a telescopic cylinder, such as an air cylinder. The telescopic cylinder includes a telescopic rod 31 and a cylinder body 32. The telescopic rod 31 is installed in the cylinder 32. The expansion and contraction of the expansion cylinder are controlled by a switching valve 6. The switching valve 6 is specifically an electromagnetic valve.
The telescopic rod 31 of the telescopic cylinder is fixed with a magnet which moves along with the telescopic rod 31, and the telescopic cylinder is positioned above the joint of the first belt 21 and the second belt 22 and the third belt 71.
Compressed air is introduced into a first opening (namely an air inlet end) a of the switching valve 6, a second opening (an air outlet end) b of the switching valve 6 is connected to a rodless cavity of the telescopic cylinder, and a third opening (an air outlet end) c of the switching valve 6 is connected to a rod cavity of the telescopic cylinder. When the switching valve coil 15 is not powered, the c end is exhausted, the b end is not exhausted, and the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder retracts. On the contrary, when the switching valve coil 15 is electrified (24V DC), the c end is not exhausted, the b end is exhausted, and the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder extends forwards to block the cigarette sticks 8 on the correcting device 2.
The first magnetic switch 51 and the second magnetic switch 52 are fixed on the rod cavity and the rodless outer wall of the telescopic cylinder, namely the upper side and the lower side of the telescopic cylinder, and the postures of the magnetic switches meet the following conditions: when the telescopic rod 31 of the telescopic cylinder is fully retracted, the first magnetic switch 51 is sensed by the magnet (outputting a DC signal of 24V), and the second magnetic switch 52 is not sensed by the magnet (outputting no signal). On the contrary, when the telescopic rod 31 of the telescopic cylinder is completely extended, the first magnetic switch 51 is not sensed by the magnet, and no signal is output from the first magnetic switch 51; and the second magnetic switch 52 is sensed by the magnet, the second magnetic switch 52 outputs a DC signal of 24V.
4. The structure of the correction effect detection apparatus 4 will be described below.
The correction effect detection device 4 includes a first sensor 41 and a second sensor 42. The first sensor 41 is correspondingly provided with a first reflector 11, and the second sensor 42 is correspondingly provided with a second reflector 12. In some embodiments, both the first sensor 41 and the second sensor 42 employ photosensors.
In some embodiments, both the first sensor 41 and the second sensor 42 employ the same specularly reflective photodetector.
The first sensor 41 is fixed to the first barrier 9 at the right edge of the telescopic rod 31 of the telescopic cylinder. A second sensor 42 is also fixed to the first shutter 9 and is located to the right of the first sensor 41 (i.e. upstream of the delivery of the tobacco rod 8). The first sensor 41 and the second sensor 42 are spaced apart by a distance slightly greater than the width of a cigarette.
In some embodiments, the detection beams of the first sensor 41 and the second sensor 42 are perpendicular to the direction of belt travel.
The first reflector 11 and the second reflector 12 are both fixed to the second barrier 10. The first reflector 11 is aligned with the first sensor 41 and the second reflector 12 is aligned with the second sensor 42.
When there is no object between the photodetector and the reflector, no signal is output from the signal terminal of the photodetector, whereas when there is an object between the photodetector and the reflector, the photodetector outputs a DC signal of 24V.
Next, the circuit connection of the cigarette rod posture correcting device 2 will be described.
Referring to fig. 2 and 3, the posture determining device 1, the first sensor 41, the second sensor 42, the first magnetic switch 51, and the second magnetic switch 52 are all electrically connected to the PLC. The signals output from the posture determining device 1, the first sensor 41, the second sensor 42, the first magnetic switch 51, and the second magnetic switch 52 are all input to the programmable logic controller PLC 13.
The output of the PLC13 is connected to: the switching valve coil 15, four contactor K1 coils 151, K2 coils 152, K3 coils 153, K4 coils 154 and an alarm lamp 155.
Referring to fig. 2 and 3, one end of the main contact of the four contactors K1, K2, K3 and K4 is connected to three-phase alternating current, and the other end is connected to the third driving mechanism 73, the fourth belt 72 motor, the first driving mechanism 23 and the second driving mechanism 24, respectively.
Referring to fig. 5, next, the detection control process is described. The following parameters are defined first: the distance between the front end of the laser displacement sensor and the second baffle 10 of the cigarette rod 8 conveying channel is M. One cigarette has a width X (short side) and a length Y (long side).
Measuring the number m of signals obtained by a laser displacement sensor
The PLC13 controls four contactors K1, K2, K3 and K4 to pull in, and the four motors run and drive the four belts to run. The person causes a correctly positioned rod 8 to run on the conveyor belt and pass from the laser displacement sensor.
The distance signal of the laser displacement sensor is suddenly changed from the value M to the value less than the value M, the PLC13 obtains the distance signal of one laser displacement sensor at intervals of time T0 in the process that the distance signal is suddenly changed from the value less than the value M to the value M, and the number of the obtained distance signals in the process is M.
The above measurement process needs to be performed only once.
(II) measuring the inclination of the cigarette rod 8
In actual operation, the distance signal of the laser displacement sensor is suddenly changed from the value M to the value less than the value M, and the PLC13 is used for changing the distance signal from the value less than the value M to the value M at intervals of T0Obtain oneThe distance signal of each laser displacement sensor is Z1、Z2、Z3……ZNThe number of signals is N.

Second, if α is not less than α2When the cigarette 8 is skewed seriously, the cigarette 8 cannot be corrected through the correcting device, the PLC13 enables the contactors K4 and K3 to lose power, the first belt 21 and the second belt 22 stop running simultaneously, the cigarette 8 cannot enter a downstream machine, and the PLC13 drives the alarm lamp 155 to send out an alarm signal to remind a worker to process the cigarette. Third, if α1<α<α2In time, the tobacco rod 8 is skewed and corrected by the correcting device. Wherein alpha is1And alpha2Is a set value.

First, if alpha is less than or equal to alpha1In time, the tobacco rod 8 is only slightly skewed and no correction is required for the tobacco rod 8. Second, if α is not less than α2When the cigarette 8 is skewed seriously, the cigarette 8 cannot be corrected through the correcting device, the PLC13 enables the contactors K4 and K3 to lose power, the first belt 21 and the second belt 22 stop running simultaneously, the cigarette 8 cannot enter a downstream machine, and the PLC13 drives the alarm lamp 155 to send out an alarm signal to remind a worker to process the cigarette. Third, if α1<α<α2In time, the tobacco rod 8 is skewed and corrected by the correcting device. Wherein alpha is1And alpha2Is a set value.

Or
Figure GDA0003193996250000124
(3) As can be seen from the above analysis, regardless of the inclination direction of the tobacco rod 8, it is possible to determine whether or not the posture correction is necessary for the tobacco rod 8 on the basis of α obtained from the above calculation result in a unified manner according to the following strategy.
Setting two parameters alpha1And alpha2,0°<α1<α2<90°
1、α≤α1In time, the tobacco rod 8 is only slightly skewed and no correction is needed for the tobacco rod 8.
2、α≥α2In the meantime, the tobacco strip 8 is seriously skewed and cannot be corrected, and the following steps are adopted:
(1) stopping the first belt 21 and the second belt 22, leaving the tobacco rod 8 in the first belt 21 and the second belt 22;
(2) the alarm lamp 155 emits an alarm signal.
3、α1<α<α2Then, the tobacco rod 8 is corrected according to the following steps:
(1) retaining the tobacco rod 8. The switching valve 6 is powered to drive the telescopic cylinder to extend the telescopic rod 31, and when the first magnetic switch 51 is not sensed and the second magnetic switch 52 is sensed, the telescopic rod 31 of the telescopic cylinder is fully extended.
(2) The tobacco rod 8 is corrected. When the first sensor 41 is sensed, it indicates that the tobacco rod 8 has come into contact with the telescopic rod 31 of the telescopic cylinder. If the upper portion of the tobacco rod 8 tilts forward, the first belt 21 is stopped and the second belt 22 continues to run. If the lower portion of the tobacco rod 8 is tilted forward, the second belt 22 is stopped and the first belt 21 continues to run.
(3) The tobacco rod 8 is stationary. When the first sensor 41 is sensed and the second sensor 42 is not sensed, this indicates that the correction of the tobacco rod 8 has been successful, whereupon the first belt 21 and the second belt 22 are simultaneously stopped so that the tobacco rod 8 is stationary.
(4) No longer blocking the tobacco rod 8. The switching valve 6 is de-energized and the telescopic rod 31 of the telescopic cylinder is retracted, when the first magnetic switch 51 is sensed and the second magnetic switch 52 is not sensed, it indicates that the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder is fully retracted.
(5) The tobacco rod 8 is released. The first belt 21 and the second belt 22 run simultaneously, the corrected tobacco rod 8 continuing to run forward to the downstream machine.
Several specific adjustment scenarios are described below.
1. The related contents of the conveyor belt are introduced.
The conveying belt area is divided into a left area, a middle area and a right area, and the length of the middle area is larger than that of one cigarette, so that the middle area can completely cover one cigarette. The mechanism of four conveyor belts is similar to that of the original machine, namely, the motor drives the belt pulley, and the belt pulley drives the conveyor belt:
(1) the left area is provided with a third belt 71. The third driving mechanism 73 drives the third belt pulley to rotate, and the third belt pulley drives the third belt 71 to work.
(2) The right region is provided with a fourth belt 72. The motor of the fourth belt 72 drives the fourth belt pulley to rotate, and the fourth belt pulley drives the fourth belt 72 to work.
(3) The middle area is provided with two identical belts, a first belt 21 and a second belt 22. The two belts are located at the upper side and the lower side, the width of the two belts is slightly smaller than half of the width of the original conveyor belt, the first driving mechanism 23 drives the first belt pulley, and the first belt pulley drives the first belt 21. The second driving mechanism 24 drives the second belt pulley to rotate, and the second belt pulley drives the second belt 22 to work.
2. The relevant contents of the laser displacement sensor are described below.
The laser displacement sensor is used for detecting the distance between the front end of the detector and an object irradiated by the laser beam emitted by the detector.
A laser displacement sensor is fixed on the first baffle 9 at the joint of the first belt 21, the second belt 22 and the fourth belt 72, and a laser beam emitted is vertical to the running direction of the conveying belt.
3. The following describes the relevant contents of the telescopic cylinder, the switching valve 6 and the magnetic switch.
The telescopic cylinder is positioned above the joint of the first belt 21, the second belt 22 and the third belt 71.
Compressed air enters the first opening a of the switching valve 6, the second opening b of the switching valve 6 is connected to the upper end of the telescopic cylinder through an air pipe, and the third opening c of the switching valve 6 is connected to the lower end of the telescopic cylinder through an air pipe. When the coil of the switching valve 6 is not electrified, the third opening c is communicated with the first opening a, the rod cavity of the telescopic cylinder is communicated, and at the moment, the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder retracts. On the contrary, when the coil of the switching valve 6 is electrified with a DC signal of 24V, the first opening a is communicated with the second opening b, the rodless cavity of the telescopic cylinder is filled with air, and at the moment, the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder extends forwards.
The telescopic cylinder is a telescopic cylinder of the type that a magnet (not shown in the figure) is fixed on a telescopic rod inside the telescopic cylinder, and the magnet can operate along with the operation of the telescopic rod. The first magnetic switch 51 and the second magnetic switch 52 are fixed on the upper and lower sides of the telescopic cylinder, so that when the telescopic rod 31 of the telescopic cylinder is completely retracted, the first magnetic switch 51 is sensed by the magnet, and the second magnetic switch 52 is not sensed by the magnet, at this time, the signal end of the first magnetic switch 51 outputs a 24V DC signal, and the signal end of the second magnetic switch 52 outputs no signal. On the contrary, when the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder is fully extended, the first magnetic switch 51 is not sensed by the magnet, and the second magnetic switch 52 is sensed by the magnet, at this time, no signal is output from the signal terminal of the first magnetic switch 51, and a 24V DC signal is output from the signal terminal of the second magnetic switch 52.
4. The structure of the optical first sensor 41 and the second sensor 42 will be described below.
In some embodiments, the first sensor 41 and the second sensor 42 each employ two identical specularly reflective photodetectors.
The first sensor 41 is fixed on the first baffle 9 at the right edge of the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder, the detection light beam of the first sensor 41 is perpendicular to the running direction of the conveyer belt, the first reflector 11 is fixed on the second baffle 10 and is aligned with the first sensor 41, when no object is between the first sensor 41 and the first reflector 11, no signal is output at the signal end of the first sensor 41, otherwise, when an object is between the first sensor 41 and the first reflector 11, the first sensor 41 outputs a 24V DC signal.
A second sensor 42 is also fixed to the first shutter 9, the detection beam of the second sensor 42 is also perpendicular to the direction of belt travel, the second sensor 42 is located to the right of the first sensor 41, and is spaced from the second sensor 42 by a distance slightly greater than the width of a cigarette. The second reflector 12 is fixed to the second baffle 10 and aligned with the second sensor 42. the signal terminal of the second sensor 42 outputs no signal when there is no object between the second sensor 42 and the second reflector 12, whereas the second sensor 42 outputs a 24V DC signal when there is an object between the second sensor 42 and the second reflector 12.
Second, the related contents of circuit connection are described below.
As shown in fig. 2 and 3, signals of the laser displacement sensor, the first sensor 41, the second sensor 42, the first magnetic switch 51, and the second magnetic switch 52 are input to a programmable logic controller PLC 13. The output of the PLC13 is connected to: the coil of the switching valve 6, four contactors K1, K2, K3 and K4 coils and an alarm lamp.
One ends of main contacts of the four contactors K1, K2, K3 and K4 are connected with three-phase alternating current, and the other ends of the main contacts are respectively connected to the third driving mechanism 73, the fourth belt 72 motor, the first driving mechanism 23 and the second driving mechanism 24, so that the PLC13 can control the operation and stop of the four motors by controlling the four contactors K1, K2, K3 and K4.
Thirdly, the detection control process is described below.
The angle of inclination α of the rod 8 on the conveyor belt of the rod 8 is defined as: the included angle between the straight line of the long edge of the cigarette rod 8 and the perpendicular line of the running direction of the conveying belt. Alpha is more than or equal to 0 degree and less than or equal to 90 degrees, and the larger the inclination angle alpha is, the more serious the tobacco strip 8 is skewed. PLC13 every other time T0And acquiring and storing distance signals of 1 laser displacement sensor.
The distance between the front end of the laser displacement sensor and the second baffle 10 of the cigarette strip 8 conveying channel is M, when the laser displacement sensor does not detect the cigarette strip 8, the laser beam irradiates the second baffle 10 of the cigarette strip 8 conveying channel, the distance signal detected by the laser displacement sensor is M, when the cigarette strip 8 passes through the laser displacement sensor, the laser beam irradiates the cigarette strip 8, and the distance signal detected at the moment is smaller than M.
When the distance signal detected by the laser displacement sensor is suddenly changed from M to a value smaller than M, the fact that the laser displacement sensor just starts to detect a cigarette at the moment is indicated, and the point on the cigarette rod 8 irradiated by the laser beam at the moment is called as the left vertex A of the cigarette rod 8.
When the distance signal detected by the laser displacement sensor is suddenly changed from a value smaller than M to M, it indicates that a cigarette is about to leave the laser displacement sensor, and the point on the cigarette rod 8 irradiated by the laser beam is called the right vertex B of the cigarette rod 8.
The distance signals of the laser displacement sensors obtained by the PLC13 from the left vertex A of the cigarette rod 8 detected by the laser displacement sensor to the right vertex B of the cigarette rod 8 detected by the laser displacement sensor, namely the distance signals of the cigarette rod 8 passing through the laser displacement sensors are respectively Z1、Z2、Z3……ZNEvery two adjacent signals have a time interval of T0The number of signals is N, the first signal Z1 corresponds to the left vertex A, and the last signal ZNAnd corresponds to the right vertex B. In each drawing, the vertex a is the first vertex detected by the laser displacement sensor, and the vertex B is the last vertex detected by the laser displacement sensor.
(one) measure m
The PLC13 controls the four contactors K1, K2, K3 and K4 to attract, the four motors run and drive the four belts to run, and the speeds of the four belts are identical because the speeds of the four motors are identical and the diameters of the four belt pulleys are identical.
As shown in fig. 4, 5 and 6, so that a piece of non-skewed tobacco travels on the conveyor belt and passes from the laser displacement sensor, the PLC13 every time T, during the time from the detection of the left vertex a of the tobacco rod 8 by the laser displacement sensor to the detection of the right vertex B of the tobacco rod 80The number N of the obtained distance signals of the laser displacement sensor is m.
The width of the tobacco rod 8 is X (short side length), so the distance L that the tobacco rod 8 travels in this process is X; every two adjacent signals have a time interval of T0And thus the time T taken for the processAB=(m-1)T0(ii) a The speed at which the tobacco rod 8 runs
Figure GDA0003193996250000171
The above process is only required to be performed once, and if the device is installed for the first time, the above process is performed to obtain the m value.
(II) during actual operation, measuring the inclination of the cigarette rod 8
In actual operation, as shown in fig. 4 to 17, in the process from the detection of the left vertex a to the detection of the right vertex B of the cigarette rod 8 by the laser displacement sensor, the distance signal of the laser displacement sensor obtained by the PLC13 is Z1、Z2、Z3……ZNThe number of the signals is N, and the time interval between every two adjacent signals is T0
Calculate Z1、Z2、Z3……ZNArithmetic mean of (d):
Figure GDA0003193996250000172
then calculate Z1、Z2、Z3……ZNStandard deviation of (2)
Figure GDA0003193996250000173
σ0Is a set value that is taken to be very small, such as 0.01.
1. When sigma is less than or equal to sigma0Then (c) is performed. As shown in FIGS. 7 to 12, Z1、Z2、Z3……ZNThe deviation therebetween is very small, and it is judged that the laser displacement sensor has detected only the short side or the long side of one cigarette in the process, and the inclination angle α is 0 ° or α is 90 °.
Time T used for the processAB=(N-1)T0
The tobacco rod 8 runs at the speed of:
Figure GDA0003193996250000174
The distance travelled by the rod 8 is then:
Figure GDA0003193996250000175
wherein, the width of a cigarette is X (short side), and the length is Y (long side).
If the short edge of the rod 8 passes the laser displacement sensor, the rod 8 travels a distance L equal to the width X of the rod 8. On the contrary, if the long side of the cigarette 8 passes through the laser displacement sensor, the running distance L of the cigarette 8 is equal to the length Y of the cigarette 8, so that the state of the cigarette 8 can be judged by comparing the size of L, and the specific judgment method is as follows:
(1) the first case is: l < (X + Y)/2.
As shown in fig. 4, 5 and 6, the laser displacement sensor detects the short side of the tobacco rod 8, and the tobacco rod 8 is tilted at an angle α of 0 °.
(2) The second case is: l > (X + Y)/2.
As shown in fig. 7, 8 and 9, the laser displacement sensor detects the long side of the tobacco rod 8, and the tobacco rod 8 is tilted at an angle α of 90 °.
2. When σ > σ0Then (c) is performed. As shown in FIGS. 10 to 17, Z1、Z2、Z3……ZNThe deviation between the two is large, so that the short side and the long side of the cigarette rod 8 are judged to be detected by the laser displacement sensor in the process, the cigarette rod 8 is inclined, and the inclination angle is more than 0 degrees and less than alpha and less than 90 degrees.
As shown in fig. 10-17, the intersection of the short and long sides of the tobacco rod 8 is referred to as the center point C.
As shown in fig. 18 and 19, the cigarette rod 8 parameter calculation model is established in the following manner:
A. c, B are the left, middle and right vertices of the tobacco rod 8, AC is perpendicular to BC, and AC occurs prior to BC. AC is the edge of the rod 8 that was first detected by the laser displacement sensor and BC is the edge of the rod 8 that was subsequently detected by the laser displacement sensor.
Referring to fig. 18 and 19, DEF is the line along which the laser displacement sensor is oriented along the direction of travel of the tobacco rod 8, AD, EC, FB and line DEF being perpendicular. C is perpendicular to DA and CH is perpendicular to FB.
When the laser displacement sensor detects the left vertex A, the distance signal is Z1If DA is equal to Z1
When the laser displacement sensor detects the right vertex B, the distance signal is ZNIf FB is equal to ZN
Z1、Z2、Z3……ZNMinimum value of Zn,ZnIs the nth signal of the N signals, signal ZnCorresponding to the centre C on the rod 8, so EC ═ Zn
Then there are the following two equations:
GA=DA-DG=DA-EC=Z1-Zn
HB=FB-FH=FB-EC=ZN-Zn
in the process from the detection of the left vertex A to the detection of the middle vertex C by the laser displacement sensor, the number of the obtained distance signals is n, and the time interval between every two adjacent signals is T0Then the process lasts for a time TAC=(n-1)T0Speed of operation of the tobacco rod 8

In the process from the detection of the middle vertex C to the detection of the right vertex B by the laser displacement sensor, the number of obtained distance signals is N-N, and the time interval between every two adjacent signals is T0Then the process lasts for a time TCB=(N-n)T0Speed of operation of the tobacco rod 8

Then, the following formula is given:
Figure GDA0003193996250000193
Figure GDA0003193996250000194
(1) when AC < (X + Y)/2 or BC > (X + Y)/2, as shown in FIG. 18, AC is the short side and BC is the long side, it is judged that the upper portion of the tobacco rod 8 is tilted forward. The magnitude of the tilt angle can thus be calculated using the following formula.

Or
Figure GDA0003193996250000196
(2) AC > (X + Y)/2 or BC < (X + Y)/2. If AC is the long side and BC is the short side as shown in fig. 19, it is judged that the lower portion of the tobacco rod 8 is tilted forward. The magnitude of the tilt angle can thus be calculated using the following formula.

Or
Figure GDA0003193996250000198
The detection flow of α is shown in fig. 20.
(III) correcting the tobacco rod 8

4) As shown in fig. 26, when the switching valve 6 is de-energized and the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder is retracted, the first magnetic switch 51 is sensed and the second magnetic switch 52 is not sensed, which indicates that the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder is fully retracted;
5) as shown in fig. 27 and 28, the first belt 21 and the second belt 22 run simultaneously, the corrected tobacco rod 8 continues to run forward to the downstream machine, and the correction process ends.
