At the same time, a clamping plate driving mechanism 16 is arranged on the base plate 14. The clamping plate driving mechanism 16 is connected to the left clamping plate 5 or the right clamping plate 6. At the same time, a clamping plate slider guide rail 19 is arranged on the base plate 14. When the clamping plate driving mechanism 16 is actuated, the left clamping plate 5 and the right clamping plate 6 move in reverse directions along the clamping plate slider guide rail 19 through the linkage of the first linkage connecting rod unit 17. The clamping plate driving mechanism 16 can select a cylinder, an oil cylinder or other driving mechanism, preferably a cylinder. The number of the clamping plate slider guide rails 19 is two.

It should be noted that

[0036] It should be noted that the structures of the slider and the guide rail in this embodiment are not specifically limited. Preferably, the guide rail has a square or rectangular cross section, and the corresponding slider has a groove that matches the guide rail. This device can not only realize the filling of single-layer cigarettes in the cigarette box, but also realize the filling of multi-layer cigarettes. In order to realize the close configuration of various structures, groove structures that do not affect the function are opened on individual components, which will not be elaborated here.

[0037] The use process of the above-mentioned cigarette filling device is as follows: taking the cigarettes arranged in 7-6-7 as an example, the distance between the left and right clamps is set to the width of the first layer of cigarettes, that is, the sum of the diameters of the first layer of cigarettes, or slightly wider through the driving mechanism, so that the cigarettes can be pushed into the cigarette box; the left and right baffles are separated, and the support plate 2 is moved to the bottom of the cigarette sorting device, or the cigarettes are moved to the support plate. After the first layer of cigarettes is moved to the tray, the vibration mechanism is started to vibrate the cigarettes to ensure that the first layer of cigarettes is evenly arranged, and then the vibration mechanism is stopped; then the second layer of cigarettes is moved to the top of the bottom layer of cigarettes, and the height of the second layer of cigarettes on the support plate is matched with the height of the left and right baffles, and the baffle driving mechanism is started. The left and right baffles are driven to move toward each other to a distance equal to the sum of the diameters of the second layer of cigarettes, or slightly wider, the driving of the left and right baffles is stopped, the vibration mechanism is started to vibrate until the second layer of cigarettes are evenly arranged, and the vibration is stopped; then, the third layer of cigarettes is moved to the top of the second layer of cigarettes, the vibration mechanism is started to vibrate, thereby ensuring that the third layer of cigarettes are evenly arranged on the second layer of cigarettes, the vibration is stopped, the left and right baffles are moved oppositely and leave the clamping plate, at this time, the three layers of cigarettes conform to the arrangement order in the cigarette box, the left and right baffles move oppositely until the distance between them is greater than the width of the support plate, the cigarette filling device is moved to the corresponding position (which can be achieved by the third slider or the fourth slider), and finally the support plate rises to send the arranged cigarettes into the cigarette box to achieve one-time filling.

[0038] In the above-mentioned use process, the use of the vibration mechanism is only one way of use, and it can also be adjusted according to the specific process.

[0039] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of clear explanation, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description.
