Research and application of collinear conveying and buffering channels for finished cigarettes

This article aims at the problem that the automated production line of standard packaged cigarettes cannot effectively produce special-shaped cigarettes. Through the analysis of the packaging method and external dimensions of packaged cigarettes, as well as the study of the transportation stability of packaged cigarettes, this paper proposes a common method for different and standard finished cigarettes. The optimal size parameters of the line conveying equipment were determined, and a buffer channel for co-line conveying of finished cigarettes was designed. After the research results of this article were put into operation in the packaging workshop of Hangzhou Cigarette Factory, the fully automatic production logistics of special-shaped cigarettes was realized, reducing the number of 6 full-time cigarette box palletizing outsourcing workers. While improving production efficiency and accuracy, it also reduced the cost Labor costs and human error. This research result effectively solves the problems of transportation, caching and separation of finished cigarettes in the co-line production of cigarettes, and provides important reference and practical experience for similar technical transformation projects in the industry.
