Carton packaged cigarette rapid-sorting method based on buffer memory principle and paralleling sorting mechanism

Abstract

The invention provides a rapid cigarette sorting method based on the caching theory and concurrent sorting mechanisms, and belongs to cigarette sorting technology field. The key points are that cigarette presorting caching passages are arranged between a sorting machine set and a conveyer belt, and the number of the cigarette presorting caching passages can be equal to the number of cigarette varieties, or a plurality of cigarette varieties share one caching passage. The sorting machine operates by the steps of sorting all the cigarette varieties in one order sheet, loading into the caching passages, and enabling the cigarette sequentially to fall on the conveyer belt and be brought away by controlling the opening sequence of cigarette outgoing shutters of the caching passages. The caching passages are arranged between the sorting machine and the conveyer belt, so as to realize concurrent sorting of the whole machine set and increase the system sorting efficiency to 20,000 cigarettes per hour. By using the method, the cigarettes can be tidily arranged on the conveyer belt, so as to facilitate the following labeling and packing steps. The inventive method can reduce sorting lines and operators to complete the same sorting task. Because of the arrangement of caching passages, the method can realize three-dimensional layout of the sorting system, make maximum use of operation site space, and save equipment floor area.

Description

(1) Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a cigarette sorting technology, in particular to a method for quickly sorting cigarettes based on a cache principle and a parallel sorting mechanism, and the method realizes rapid sorting of various kinds of cigarettes. (2) Technical background [0002] According to the standard requirements of domestic cigarette sorting operations, the sorted cigarettes should be arranged in the order of the order on the conveyor belt after the sorting process, and should be arranged in the order of the types of cigarettes within an order, so as to facilitate subsequent coding , inspection and packaging operations. In order to meet this requirement, the traditional sorting process adopted by all domestic cigarette automatic sorting lines is: the sorting unit is arranged on the side of the cigarette conveyor belt, and each sorter sorts a variety of cigarettes. The sorting unit sorts the rods of various varieties in the order onto the conve...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

There are two defects in this traditional process: one is that the cigarettes sorted by the sorting machine are directly sent to the conveyor belt. In order to ensure that the cigarettes are arranged in the order of varieties on the conveyor belt, each sorting machine can only work in series. , when one sorter is working, other sorters need to wait

In order to ensure the completion of the sorting task, most cigarette logistics distribution centers have to configure multiple sorting lines to operate simultaneously, resulting in huge equipment investment and a large area of ​​the work site, and a large number of users, which affects the economic benefits of the enterprise.
