跨区域异型包装卷烟物流输送系统设计

Design of cross-regional logistics transport system for special size cigarette packets

为解决异型包装卷烟生产过程中缓存小盒烟包占用生产场地以及人工转运效率低等问题,设计了一套跨区域异形包装卷烟物流输送系统。该系统由自动化立体库、缓存分/组料机、高架输送通道、条包机机位工作站等组成,并以烟包托盘作为最小缓存和转运单元。通过自动化立体库实现托盘组(每组10个托盘)的输入、输出和缓存;从自动化立体库中输出的满载托盘组由缓存分料机分盘后经高架输送通道转运至机位工作站;烟包拾取完成后,空盘经机位工作站、高架输送通道和缓存组料机回收后暂存于自动化立体库中。以昆明卷烟厂“大重九”牌卷烟生产专线为对象进行测试,结果表明:跨区域异型包装卷烟物流输送系统能够同时实现两种规格异型烟包的远距离输送和自动缓存,与人工转运相比可节约人工9人/班次,缓存烟包占地面积减少约74%。该技术可为提高异型烟自动化生产水平提供支持。

To address the challenges of space requirement for temporary storage of large amount of cigarette packets and laborsome manual handling,a cross-regional logistics transport system dedicating to special size cigarette packets was designed.The system consists of an automatic high rack warehouse,a tray distributor/reclaimer with buffer,overhead belt conveyors,cartoner stations.Every ten full packet trays are combined into a tray group.The tray groups are stored in the automatic high rack warehouse.The tray groups coming out of the warehouse are separated by the tray distributor and delivered to the cartoner stations via the overhead belt conveyors.After the cigarette packets have been picked up,the emptied trays are collected from the cartoner stations and by way of overhead belt conveyors and the tray reclaimer,finally stored temporarily in the high rack warehouse.The designed system was tested on the production line of"Dachongjiu"brand cigarette at Kunming Cigarette Factory.The results showed that the designed system could complete the long-distance transportation and automatic buffering of special size cigarette packets of two different specifications simultaneously,save 9 workers per shift compared with manual transportation,and reduce operational area by about 74%.This technology supports the automation of special size cigarette production.
