[0025] A through hole 51 is formed at the end of the arc-shaped plate 50 away from the second support shaft 40, and the output shaft of the pneumatic cylinder 70 penetrates through the through hole 51. Two limiting discs 52 are fixed on the output shaft of the pneumatic cylinder 70, and the two limiting discs 52 are respectively located on the two sides of the arc-shaped plate 50.

[0026] A conveying pipe 90 is fixedly connected to the shovel 30, and the conveying pipe 90 is in communication with the inside of the shovel 30. The conveying pipe 90 is located at the end away from the notch 132 formed on the shovel 30. A negative pressure machine 140 is installed at the end of the conveying pipe 90 away from the shovel 30. A discharging hole 91 (see Figure 5 ) is formed at the bottom of the conveying pipe 90, and the diameter of the discharging hole 91 is greater than the diameter of the cigarette, and the length of the discharging hole 91 is greater than the length of the cigarette.
