ABSTRACT

With the continuous development of automation and intelligence in the tobacco processing industry, the stability requirements for material transportation at various process points have increased significantly. Standard belt conveyors can no longer meet the long-term operational stability demands of production lines and require frequent maintenance. Therefore, this project draws from the structure of material transportation equipment in other industries and combines practical experience from our factory to develop an intelligent distribution car that offers automatic maintenance, simple operation, and self-sensing and self-control capabilities. The current distribution car used at the Wuhan Cigarette Factory has issues with frequent malfunctions, difficult maintenance, and insufficient intelligence. As a key auxiliary device, any malfunction in the distribution car could lead to major risks in production, quality, and safety, making it a critical weakness in the workshop. Through research and development of the storage cabinet distribution car and its intelligent upgrades, this project aims to create a device with real-time controllable operation, online monitoring of components, and automatic cleaning. The newly developed intelligent distribution car significantly reduces failure rates and maintenance difficulties. By using this car, the assurance of product quality has steadily improved. Currently, there is no clear research result on intelligent distribution cars for storage cabinets in the domestic silk production lines, making this project highly valuable for further research.
