The yield of the box filling and sealing machine is 4000- & ltSUB & gt 5000 boxes every day, the boxes placed on the trays are conveyed from the auxiliary material warehouse to the production site of the box filling and sealing machine by an AGV (automatic Guided Vehicle), then the boxes are manually conveyed by a special person (box conveyor) and placed in the box warehouse, the capacity of the box warehouse is limited, only 50-80 boxes can be placed (determined by the thickness of the boxes), the boxes need to be added continuously manually according to the situation that the boxes are reduced, and the box filling and sealing machine is closed after the boxes are used up. When the box skin on the tray is about to be used up, the auxiliary material warehouse is manually informed, and an AGV trolley of the auxiliary material warehouse conveys the box skin to a production site.

With the requirements of environmental protection, saving and consumption reduction, the cigarette factory uses a large amount of circulating smoke boxes. The circulation smoke box skin is not printed with trademark patterns and article bar codes, and the side surface of the smoke box is pasted with a brand identification code. When the case leather is used again, the old brand identification code is torn off by a case leather manufacturer as required, and then the required new brand identification code is pasted and conveyed to a cigarette factory for use. In the processes of selecting, sticking, stacking and transporting the box skins, the conditions of sticking the brand identification codes in a wrong way, sticking the brand identification codes in an neglected way, mixing and stacking the box skins and the like can occur, and serious quality accidents of wrong box packing of the cigarette box skins and cigarettes in the box can occur in the use of the box skins. Although there is a method of error-proof identification of finished product cigarette boxes after boxing (patent number cn201721107453.x), the method belongs to post detection, and is very troublesome because the box skin needs to be replaced, the first engineering code needs to be removed, and the brand identification code and the first engineering code need to be pasted again after the wrong cigarette box is used. Although there is also a method of barcode comparison and alarm system for cigarette cases of a case sealer in a cigarette enterprise (patent No. CN201520006113.2), which uses a photo vision technique to detect a barcode at a cigarette case forming station of the case sealer, the case sealer needs to be stopped when an incorrect case skin is found, and the incorrect case skin is taken out manually. Therefore, a stable and reliable box skin identification and error prevention device which does not affect the efficiency of the box sealing machine is needed.

In addition, the YP11, YP13 and YP18 case sealers have high failure rate when using circulating cigarette case skins, and have the defects of case skin absorption failure, incapability of opening and forming, improper cigarette case placement, long folding edge drooping of case skins, interference of cigarette stacks and cigarette squeezing, improper folding edge packaging and the like, and the equipment operation efficiency is low.

Although there is a method of automatic blank feeding device for box filling and sealing machine (patent No. CN201120424845) which liberates manual labor to realize automatic feeding of the box skin, the box skin is only conveyed to the box skin warehouse from the tray, and the method is only suitable for a flat box skin warehouse (YP11 box sealing machine), and has no box skin error-preventing device, complex structure and large occupied space.
