The inner frame paper left edge detecting optical fiber sensor 18 and the inner frame paper right edge detecting optical fiber sensor 19 are installed at the upper part of the conveying channel (first conveying belt), and can detect whether the inner frame paper exists on the first conveying belt or not at a fixed phase.
The encoder is arranged on a main transmission shaft of a main machine (namely a main shaft of the original machine) of the inner frame paper packaging machine, and is used for collecting the rotation angle phase of the main shaft in real time and feeding back the phase to the PLC 2.
The inner frame paper suction device 20 is mounted on the apparatus, is driven by the second shaft servo motor 8, reciprocates up and down at a fixed position, sucks the inner frame paper from the warehouse through at least two groups of paper suction trays, and places the inner frame paper on the first conveyor belt 26. The phase mentioned above is the special term of the equipment, and every time the equipment produces a packet of cigarettes, the main shaft rotates for one circle, the angle of the circle is 360 degrees, and the angle of the main shaft is called the phase. For example, when the spindle is rotated 180 degrees, the encoder feedback angle is 180 degrees, and the phase at this time is 180 degrees.
The pushing rake 21 is fixed on the first conveying belt 26, rotates anticlockwise along with the first conveying belt 26, and assists in conveying the inner frame paper from right to left.

The middle conveying roller 27 is arranged on the equipment and driven by the third shaft servo motor 9 and is used for conveying the inner frame paper from the first conveying belt 26 to a position between the sliding table 28 and the second conveying belt 30, the second driving wheel 29 is driven by the fourth shaft servo motor 10 to rotate clockwise, and the inner frame paper is conveyed to the longitudinal conveying die box at the tail end by matching with the sliding table 28.
It should be noted that, the purpose of the foregoing embodiment of the present invention is to provide a hardware architecture of a conveying system dedicated for preserving the inner frame paper of the cigarette packet, which is matched with a packaging machine set to implement the paper receiving in a warehouse, conveying to a predetermined folding station for performing a specific folding operation (the folding station of the machine set is not the focus of the present invention, not specifically shown, and may be actually configured at a position in the figure before reaching the jam detecting component), and conveying the folded inner frame paper to a preset mold box.
It can be seen that, when the above hardware system is actually applied, the corresponding conveying control manner can be configured according to the requirement of on-site production, and the following only corresponds to the exemplary description of the above system hardware, and provides a schematic description of the following conveying method:
after the equipment (namely, the moisture-preserving cigarette packet inner frame paper packaging unit) is started, the first conveying belt moves anticlockwise from right to left under the transmission of the first shaft servo motor. The main shaft of the original machine rotates for 360 degrees every time, and correspondingly conveys one piece of inner frame paper. And each time one piece of inner frame paper is conveyed, the first conveying belt can stay for a set time at a fixed position, and in the time of the first conveying belt staying, the second shaft servo motor drives the inner frame paper sucking device to suck one piece of inner frame paper upwards from the warehouse, and then the inner frame paper is conveyed downwards and put into a clamping groove of the pushing rake.
In the production debugging process, the offset of the second shaft servo motor can be preferably changed to control the advance or the delay of the inner frame paper suction action, so that the suction device is prevented from colliding with the first conveying belt.
After the sucking action is completed, the first conveyer belt continues to move to convey the inner frame paper from right to left. When the inner frame paper reaches the stations of the left edge detection optical fiber and the right edge detection optical fiber, the detection optical fiber transmits corresponding optical signals to the second optical fiber amplifier and the third optical fiber amplifier, the optical fiber amplifier converts the optical signals into electric signals and transmits the electric signals to the input end of the PLC, when the stations are free of inner frame paper or the inner frame paper is askew, if one side of the paper is not detected, an inner frame paper losing signal or an inner frame paper askew signal is output to the PLC, and the host machine of the equipment is triggered to stop without carrying out subsequent folding procedures.
Normally, at a later station of the inner frame paper presence detection, an inner frame paper folding device (not shown) of the host machine sprays glue on the inner frame paper and folds the inner frame paper into a specific shape along the middle crease. After the folding operation is finished, the first conveyor belt continues to convey the inner frame paper to move leftwards, if the inner frame paper is blocked on the conveying channel at the moment, the blocking elastic sheet is lifted upwards passively and detected by the blocking, a signal is output to the PLC to trigger the equipment to stop, and information of 'inner frame paper blocking' is preferably displayed on the interface of the touch screen.
And under normal conditions, when the inner frame paper is conveyed to the tail end of the first conveying belt, the middle conveying roller is driven by the third shaft motor to rotate at the fixed phase, the inner frame paper is conveyed between the sliding table and the second conveying belt, and the second conveying belt is driven by the fourth shaft servo motor at the set phase, so that the inner frame paper is conveyed to the longitudinal conveying die box at the tail end.
Based on this concept, regarding the aforementioned phase setting manner of the spindle encoder as the trigger timing of the motion start-stop control of the present system, the following non-limiting examples are provided herein for implementation reference:
when the PLC receives the starting signal, the phase of the encoder can be read in real time, and when the phase of the encoder is equal to the starting action phase of the first shaft servo motor, the first shaft servo motor starts to rotate. The rotation track of the first shaft servo motor is preferably finished through an electronic cam, and the movement track of the second shaft servo motor, the third shaft servo motor and the fourth shaft servo motor can be finished through the electronic cam. The track design of the electronic cam can be set according to the requirements by referring to the control of the following third shaft servo motor:
the main shaft encoder rotates within the range of 0-80 degrees, and the third shaft servo motor is motionless;
the main shaft encoder rotates in the range of 80-120 degrees, and the third shaft servo motor rotates from 0 degree to 20 degrees;
the main shaft encoder rotates in a range of 120-160 degrees, and the third shaft servo motor rotates from 20 degrees to 150 degrees;
the main shaft encoder rotates 160-330 degrees, and the third shaft servo motor does not rotate;
the spindle encoder rotates 330-360 degrees, and the third shaft servo motor rotates from 150 degrees to 200 degrees.
Again, the description: when the main machine rotates for a circle, a packet of cigarettes is correspondingly produced, the corresponding angle is changed into 360 degrees, the servo motor rotates for the same stroke according to the preset track in the period, a single period of inner frame paper sucking and conveying actions is completed, then the track of the electronic cam can be cleared, and calculation is restarted in the next period.
According to the electronic cam, the electronic cam track can be changed by configuring the corresponding electronic cam table on the touch screen. The second, third and fourth shaft servo motors synchronously rotate along with the first shaft servo motor according to the established electronic cam track while the first shaft motor acts. The electronic cam track can be adjusted by changing the phase of the electronic cam table on the touch screen according to the requirement.
In combination with the foregoing description, setting parameters of offset can be reserved on the touch screen for each servo motor, and in the process of debugging and production, the offset can be changed to change the transmission phase of the electronic cams corresponding to the first shaft, the second shaft, the third shaft and the fourth shaft respectively in cooperation with the host. For example, the initial "offset" of the first shaft is 0, and according to the fourth shaft electronic cam design, the fourth shaft motor begins to rotate at a spindle phase of 80 degrees; for another example, if the "offset" is designed to be 30 degrees, when the spindle phase is 110 (80+30 degrees), the fourth spindle motor starts to rotate, and the same can be said when the method is implemented, and the details are not repeated here.
Finally, it may also be pointed out that the conveying method further comprises:
when a preset reset signal is monitored (a reset button is pressed), the PLC controller judges whether a stop signal exists in the packaging unit, whether left and right inner frame paper detection identifies inner frame paper, whether the material level of an inner frame paper stock warehouse meets a preset material level threshold value or not and whether inner frame paper conveying is blocked or not; if any of the above conditions is not satisfied, signals such as "external stop", "short of inner frame paper", "inner frame conveying jam" and the like are output on the touch screen correspondingly and trigger stop, respectively. On the contrary, when the conditions are met, the first servo controller 3, the second servo controller 4, the third servo controller 5 and the fourth servo controller 6 are triggered to output electric signals to control the first shaft, the second shaft, the third shaft and the fourth shaft to start resetting rotation, and when the phases fed back by the servo motors are consistent with the phases detected by the encoder, the servo motors are triggered to stop rotating to complete resetting operation, and at the moment, normal starting can be executed to carry out packaging conveying.
In summary, the main design concept of the invention is that the electrical signal transmission between the PLC and the servo controller is realized through the industrial network configuration, and a plurality of servo motors can be controlled to execute a given motion track according to actual needs, so that the process requirements of sucking, conveying, folding, sizing, transferring and packaging the inner frame paper of the middle count moisture-retaining cigarette packet are met. Specifically, the motion track of the servo motor can be set according to the requirement according to the phase signal fed back by the original machine encoder, so that the paper is orderly taken from a paper stock warehouse, conveyed to a folding procedure by a first conveying belt, then connected and transferred to a second conveying belt by an intermediate conveying roller, and the folded moisture-preserving and cigarette package inner frame paper is transferred to a preset die box. The invention provides a specific conveying scheme aiming at the medium-count moisturizing and fragrance-preserving small boxes, fills up the blank of conveying measures from folding to the die boxes in the production line, remarkably improves the working efficiency and can ensure the stability of the product quality compared with the manual processing mode of the traditional moisturizing and fragrance-preserving small boxes.
