Description of the Invention: [Technical Field of the Invention] [0001] The present invention relates to a fragrant packaging method, a fragrant packaging method and a corresponding cigarette packaging system. [Prior Art] [0002] Many governments are concerned with suppressing the black market for tobacco products, so these governments often require tobacco companies to track paper boxes, cartons or even individual cigarette packs from the factory to the first purchaser of these products. Typically, the scent is sold to the first purchaser in a carton containing between 50 and 2,000 scented bags. Before the cigarettes are packed into cartons, there are often intermediate steps in which several cigarette packs are first loaded into the carton, and then a fixed number of cartons are loaded into the carton. The number of bags in the carton and the number of cartons in the carton range from 10 to 100. A conventional method of tracking a carton having a plurality of cigarette packets from a factory to its first purchaser includes the steps of providing a carton code to the carton and providing a carton code to the carton loaded in the carton. Generally, both the carton code and the carton code are machine readable codes. During the packaging of the cigarette, the carton code is linked to the carton code of the carton loaded in the carton. Then, when the first purchaser orders the carton or during the delivery process, the identity of the first purchaser of the carton is linked to the corresponding carton code in the database. Thus, the carton can be tracked to its first purchaser. The average factory carton manufacturing speed is in the range of 20 to 120 cartons per minute. The average factory produces significantly more cigarette packets per minute. A typical manufacturing unit with a high speed machine produces between 800 and 1 200 cigarette packs per minute. It is expected that such manufacturing units will be faster in the future and the number of 099109096 cigarette packs produced per minute may increase. Form No. A0101 Page 4 / Total 23 Page 0993223965-0 201132555 Because the average manufacturing cost is high, it is almost impossible to trace individual fragrances to their first purchaser, and because the manufacturing units often use different generations The fact that the machine is manufactured by the secret increases the difficulty of tracking the side fragrance package to its first purchaser. So it is not possible even if the tracking of the carton is now feasible to track the individual scent bags of its first purchaser.

According to the prior art, it is almost impossible and time consuming to join the cigarette packs loaded into the carton to the carton box (the carton with the cigarette pack is loaded here). It is an object of the present invention to provide an opportunity to track a single cigarette pack from a manufacturing unit to a first purchaser. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0003] 099109096 Aspects of the present invention are in the first and ninth aspects of the independent patent application. Further aspects of the invention are within the scope of the respective dependent patents. In a preferred embodiment, the method may include the additional step of providing a unique carton code in the carton; and recording all unique codes of the first unique code detected and the cigarette packets packaged to the same carton as the first unique detected Code to unique carton code information. In an advantageous embodiment of the method, the first unique code and the second unique code are detected in the first carton after the first fragrance package and the second fragrance are packaged in the first carton, and The first unique code and the second unique code are detected and transferred to the database to record at least the two cigarette packages having the first unique code and the second unique code are packaged in the same paper tray to the database. In another preferred embodiment of the method, the first carton has an internal carton code, wherein at least the two cigarette packages having the first unique code and the second unique code are recorded in the same carton. It contains additional information linking the first unique code and the second unique code to the internal carton code. The invention also describes a cigarette packet tracking method comprising the steps of: packaging a first cigarette packet marked with a first unique code and a second cigarette packet marked with a second unique code to a carton according to the method of one of the above paragraphs DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The specific embodiments of the present invention are illustrated in the drawings and explained in detail in the following form number A0101, page 6 / total 23 pages 0993223965-0 201132555. [Embodiment] Fig. 1 shows a flow chart illustrating a first embodiment of a cigarette packaging method. 〇 Prior to the start of the method, a plurality of cigarette packages are provided in step so. Each cigarette pack provided is marked with a unique code. For example, the first cigarette packet is indicated by a first unique code and the second cigarette packet is indicated by a second unique code that is different from the first unique code. Unique codes are available on cardboard, transparent plastic film for each cigarette pack, Ο label, sticker or stamp duty stamp (sealed). Of course, the same unique code can also be provided on at least two different sides of the cigarette pack. Preferably, the unique code is a machine readable code. This unique code can be used as a tracking code to track a single sold cigarette pack to its purchaser. Typically, the purchaser purchases a box from a tobacco company's factory, such as a cardboard box, with a total number of cigarette packs between 50 and 100. However, the government is concerned about the black market that can track from the factory or even a single cigarette package to the first purchaser and thus suppress the tobacco package. Ο In step S1 of the cigarette packaging method, at least the first cigarette packet indicated by the first unique code and the second cigarette marked with the second unique code are packaged in the first carton. The number of packets of cigarettes packaged into the first carton may range, for example, from 5 to 20. The invention is not limited to the number of specific cigarette packages packaged to the first carton. In step S2, the at least two unique codes of the at least two cigarette packages packaged to the first carton are recorded in the database as having these unique codes. The cigarette pack has been packaged into a portion of the same tray of material. Step S2 can be performed before or after step S1. The numbers S1 and S2 do not represent the time sequence. 099109096 Form No. A0101 Page 7 of 23 0993223965-0 201132555 For example, a unique code is scanned from the set of at least two cigarette packs and then only the pack of cigarettes is packaged into the first carton. In an alternative embodiment, the plurality of fragrance packages are packaged into the first carton, and then the first carton is scanned by a first sensor designed to detect all of the cigarette packet unique codes packaged to the first carton (Reference) Examples are described in more detail below). The first carton can have an internal carton code. In this case, the data stored in the database may contain additional information linking the internal carton code to the unique code of all cigarette packs packed into the first carton. In an additional step S3, the first carton is packaged into a carton. The carton can be a carton. At least a second carton that is the size of the first carton can also be packaged into the carton. The total number of cartons packed into the carton is between 5 and 100. In a further step S4, the first unique code in the carton is detected. This can be done by a second perceptron unit designed to traverse each of the cartons in the carton with only one unique code scented in the carton. For example, the second perceptron unit can be designed to scan only one detection side of the carton and then only detect the fragrance of each carton closest to the detection side. However, since the data is recorded in the database, it is possible to read all of the cigarette pack unique codes packaged in the same carton as the detected first unique code from the database in step S5. Therefore, it is not necessary to completely scan the entire carton to completely detect all the unique codes of the cigarette packs in the carton. The described method can therefore be performed in a short time using a less expensive second perceptron unit. It is also not necessary to mark the first carton with the unique code of all the cigarette packs packaged in the first carton. Moreover, it is not necessary to mark the first carton with the first unique carton code, record the data linking the first unique carton code to the unique code in the first carton, and detect the first unique carton code in the carton. The method described above provides a quick way to get the package to the same paper 099109096 Form No. A0101 Page 8 / Total 23 Page 0993223965-0 201132555 The unique code for all cigarette packs in the box. Thus, the described method is also suitable for use in manufacturing units having high manufacturing speeds. Figure 2 shows a flow chart illustrating a second embodiment of a method of packaging cigarettes. 独特 The step unique code is applied to each cigarette pack of a plurality of cigarette packs. Next, a fixed number of cigarette packages are packaged in the first carton in step S10. A fixed number of cigarette packs may for example be in the range between 5 and 20. Then close the first carton or seal it with an adhesive. In the next step S11, the unique code of all the cigarette packets in the first carton is detected by the first sensor unit. The unique code is detected from the outside of the first carton on the outside of the sealed first carton. It is therefore advantageous to manufacture the first carton, at least a portion of which allows the material of the unique code to be detected from the outside of the sealed first carton (e.g., bare plastic film material or carton material). The detected unique code of all cigarette packs in the first carton is transferred to a database to store data in which the cigarette packs having these unique codes have been loaded into the same first carton. This is done in step S12. Moreover, the first internal carton code can be coupled to the first carton. In this case, the unique code detected by the first perceptron unit is coupled to the first internal carton code in the database. Steps S10 to S12 may be repeated at least once to package a fixed number of cigarette packets to at least the second carton. Next, the unique code of the cigarette pack collected in the second carton is scanned and recorded in the database in accordance with the description provided above. The first carton is loaded into the carton in a further step S13. Preferably, at least the second carton is also loaded into the carton in step S13. The number of cartons loaded into the carton can range from 5 to 50. Then close the carton or seal it with an adhesive. In an additional step S14, a cigarette collected in each carton of the carton box 099109096 Form No. A0101 Page 9 of 23 0993223965-0 201132555 The unique code of the bag is detected by the second perceptron unit. Thus, for each carton in the carton, a unique code for a single packet of cigarettes can be attached to the carton. The number of unique codes detected by the second perceptron unit is then equal to the number of cartons collected in the same carton. The total number of cigarette packs in the carton is significantly higher than the number of cartons in the carton. Because of the technique of the present invention, it is not necessary to detect all of the unique codes of the entire number of cigarette packs in the carton. Therefore, it is not necessary to design a second sensor unit to detect all unique codes in the carton. Thus, the second perceptron unit can be manufactured at low cost. Preferably, the second sensor unit is arranged on the opening-side of the carton. Each carton can be arranged in a carton in such a way that the carton wall can contact the open side. In this case, the second sensor unit is designed to detect the cigarette pack of each of the cartons closest to the open side. In order to obtain the unique code of all the cigarette packs in the carton box, the unique code input database detected by the second sensor unit and all the unique cigarettes of the cigarette packs loaded into the same carton with the unique code detected are from the database. Read (step S15). Method steps S14 and S15 can be performed more quickly than scanning the entire carton to detect all unique codes in the carton. In a further step, not shown in Figure 2, the second sensor unit can also detect the unique carton box code provided on the carton and transfer the unique carton box code to the database. In this case, the unique carton box code can be linked to the unique code for all cigarette packs in the carton. Moreover, the method of Figure 2 can be used in a cigarette packet tracking method. When the carton is sold to the purchaser, the identity of the purchaser can be recorded along with the unique carton box code. This can be done easily and quickly when the purchaser orders or purchases a carton. 099109096 Form No. A0101 Page 10 of 23 0993223965-0 201132555 Because of the information stored in the database, you can link all the cigarette packs in the carton box with the unique code and the identity of the purchaser. Even if the total number of cigarette packs in the carton is in the range of 100 to 2000, this step can be performed very quickly. Thus, each of the sold cigarette packets can be traced to its purchaser. ^ However, the method of Figure 1 can also be a similar method of tracking the scent of the final package - part below. It is not necessary to scan every unique code sold in the package during the Ding or Speaking Bag. Therefore, this cigarette pack tracking method is very time-saving and does not require expensive equipment. Ο Figure 3 shows a third embodiment of packaging a plurality of papers into a carton to illustrate the scented packaging method. For a more detailed explanation, put one in the tray.

Each of the unique codes 12a to 12m is different from the other unique codes 12a to 12m of other cigarette packages packaged in the carton 10. For example, the first unique code 12a of the first fragrance package (not shown) is different from the other unique rotation codes 12b to 12m of the paper cassette 1〇. The second unique code 12b of the second cigarette pack (not shown) is also different from the third unique code 12c of the third cigarette pack (not shown) and the fourth unique code 12d of the fourth cigarette pack (not shown), and many more. Of course, the third unique code 12c is also different from the fourth unique code 12d and other unique codes i2e to i2m. In this example, the carton 10 contains 10 cigarette packs. However, the invention is not limited to a particular number of cigarette packs in the carton. Each carton 10 also has a transparent paper window 4 on the unique code side 12 of the cigarette pack in the carton 1 . The first sensor unit (not shown) can then read the unique code 12 after packaging the cigarette pack to the carton 10. Therefore, it is not necessary to print the unique code 1 2 on the cassette 1 . 099109096 Form Number A0101 Page 11 of 23 0993223965-0 201132555 Each tray 10 (with its unique internal tray code 16) is available. Of course, the unique inner carton code 16 can be printed on its carton 10. However, the technique of the present invention does not require the unique internal carton code 16 to be printed on its carton 10. Rather, the present technique makes it unnecessary to print the carton code 16 on its carton 10 and is therefore more time consuming. However, the internal carton code 16 can be linked to all of the unique codes 12 measured by the first sensor unit in the carton 10. For example, the data 18 is recorded in a (not shown) database that links the internal carton code ICCA to the unique codes UCA1, UCA2 to UCAn. A plurality of cartons 10 are then packaged into the carton 20 . The carton 20 is provided with a carton box code 22 that can be detected by a second (not shown) second perceptron unit. The second sensor unit is also designed to detect the unique code 12 of a cigarette pack of each of the cartons 10 in the carton 20. Preferably, the detection side 24 of the carton 20 is definable whereby the second perceptron unit detects one side of the unique code 12. In this case, the cigarette pack unique code 12 closest to the detection side 24 can be detected by the second sensor unit. Thus, a document 26 is provided which links, for example, the carton box code MCC to the unique codes UCA1, UCB1, UCC1 and the like. Information 18 and information 26 can be combined. Thus, each unique code 12 of the cigarette pack in the carton 20 is joined to the carton box code 22. For example, a document 28 is provided that links the carton box code MCC to the unique codes UCA1 ' UCA2 to UCAn, UCB1, and the like. Figure 4 shows a schematic diagram illustrating a particular embodiment of a cigarette packaging system. The cigarette packaging system includes a first packaging machine 50 designed to package at least two cigarette packages 52a and 52b to a carton 10. However, the number of cigarette packs 52a and 52b packaged by the first packaging machine 50 to the carton 10 can be significantly higher. For example, the first packaging machine 50 packs the number between 5 and 20 cigarette packs 52a and 52b to 099109096 Form No. A0101 Page 12 of 23 0993223965-0 201132555 Single tray 10. The first packaging machine 50 can also be designed to manufacture the carton 10 from a bare transparent plastic film material or a carton material. Each of the cigarette packages 52a and 52b packaged by the first packaging machine 50 to the carton 10 has a unique code 12a. After packaging the cigarette packs 52a and 52b to the carton 10, the first perceptron unit 54 detects all of the unique codes 12a and 12b in the carton 10. Next, the first perceptron unit 54 transmits the data 56 containing all of the detected unique codes 12a and 12b in the same carton 10 to the control device 58. Control device 58 includes a library (not shown). The data 56 transmitted by the first perceptron unit 54 is recorded by the control device 58 in the database. In other words, control device 58 can output or read data 56 at any time. The carton 10 is packaged by the second packaging machine 60 to the carton 20 . Preferably, the second wrapping machine 60 is designed to package the carton 10 to a single carton 20 in a range of between 5 and 50. Thus, a large number of cigarette packages 52a and 52b can be sold to the purchaser in a convenient manner. After packaging the carton 10 to the carton 20, the second perceptron unit 62 detects the unique code 12a of only one cigarette pack 52a of each of the carton 10 in the carton 20. Moreover, the second sensor unit 62 is designed to detect the carton box code 22 provided on the carton housing 20. Thus, the second perceptron unit 62 can transmit the data 64 to the control device 58 which controls the unique code 12a of only one cigarette pack of each of the paper cassettes 10 in the carton 20 to the corresponding carton box code 22 ° control The device 58 is designed to combine the data 56 stored in the database with the data 64 transmitted by the second perceptron unit 62. Thus, even if the second perceptron unit 62 detects only one unique code 12a of each of the paper cassettes 10, all of the unique codes 12a and 12b of the cigarette packs 52a and 52b in the carton case 20 and the corresponding paper box code 22 can be joined. . Thus, the system described in Fig. 4 provides the above-mentioned advantages of the specific embodiment of the invention. The form number A0101 page 13 / page 23 0993223965-0 201132555 is described above. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the particular shape or form of the packets of cigarettes 52a and 52b, carton 10 or carton. For example, at least two of the packets 52a and 52b can also be bundled and then packaged in a carton in accordance with the specific embodiments described above.
