Detailed implementation manners

[0029] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0030] Such as Figure 1As shown in the figure, an autonomous selection device for cigarette distribution according to the present invention includes a plurality of boxes 1 arranged side by side. The plurality of boxes 1 are used to place different cigarettes and questionnaires specifically for that cigarette. A data card 12 introducing the cigarette is fixed on the front side of the box 1 for smokers to read. A cigarette distribution mechanism and a questionnaire distribution mechanism are installed in each box 1 for distributing cigarettes and questionnaires.

[0031] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown in the figure, the cigarette distribution mechanism includes a cigarette storage cabinet 2, a cigarette dialing component 3 and a cigarette receiving pipe 4. The cigarette storage cabinet 2 is fixed in the box 1. The cigarette storage cabinet 2 is a rectangular shell. Multiple cigarettes are stacked in the cigarette storage cabinet 2. These cigarettes are all placed horizontally and stacked vertically in a row. The cigarette dialing component 3 is installed at the lower end of the cigarette storage cabinet 2. The cigarette receiving pipe 4 is also fixed in the box 1 and is located below the cigarette dialing component 3. The cigarette dialing component 3 can transfer a single cigarette in the cigarette storage cabinet 2 into the cigarette receiving pipe 4. A cigarette taking opening 11 is opened on the front side wall of the box 1 at a position corresponding to the cigarette receiving pipe 4. When a smoker takes a cigarette, the cigarette can be moved into the cigarette receiving pipe 4 through the cigarette dialing component 3, and then taken out from the cigarette taking opening 11, without wasting too much manpower. The smoker can operate independently.

[0032] As Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the cigarette dialing component 3 includes a cigarette dialing shell 31, a cigarette dialing wheel 32 and a motor 33. The cigarette dialing shell 31 is fixed in the box 1. The cigarette dialing shell 31 is a circular shell. A first opening 311 is provided at the upper end of the cigarette dialing shell 31, and the first opening 311 communicates with the lower end of the cigarette storage cabinet 2. A second opening 312 is provided at the lower end of the cigarette dialing shell 31, and the second opening 312 is directly above the cigarette receiving pipe 4. The main shape of the cigarette dialing wheel 32 is cylindrical and is the same as the internal shape of the cigarette dialing shell 31. The cigarette dialing wheel 32 is rotatably installed in the cigarette dialing shell 31. A cigarette dialing groove 321 is opened on the outer side wall of the cigarette dialing wheel 32. The cigarette dialing groove 321 has a space capable of accommodating a single cigarette. The initial position of the cigarette dialing groove 321 is at the second opening 312. The motor 33 is a stepping motor. The motor 33 is set to rotate 360° each time it is started. The motor 33 is fixed on the outer side wall of the cigarette dialing shell 31. A rotating rod 331 is fixed on the output shaft of the motor 33. The rotating rod 331 penetrates into the cigarette dialing shell 31 and is fixed to the middle of the cigarette dialing wheel 32, capable of driving the cigarette dialing wheel 32 to rotate. When a smoker takes a cigarette, first start the motor 33. The motor 33 drives the cigarette dialing wheel 32 to rotate through the rotating rod 331. When the cigarette dialing groove 321 rotates to the first opening 311, a single cigarette can fall into the cigarette dialing groove 321 from the cigarette storage cabinet 2. Then the cigarette dialing groove 321 rotates to the second opening 312, and the cigarette in the cigarette dialing groove 321 can fall into the cigarette receiving pipe 4, and then the cigarette can be taken out.

[0033] As shown Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, the questionnaire distribution mechanism is located below the cigarette distribution mechanism. The questionnaire distribution mechanism includes a questionnaire placement box 5, a pressing component 6, and a distribution roller 7. The questionnaire placement box 5 is fixed inside the box body 1. The questionnaire placement box 5 is a box body with an open upper side. Multiple stacked questionnaires are placed inside the questionnaire placement box 5. The pressing component 6 is installed on the bottom side inside the questionnaire placement box 5 and is used to press the bottommost questionnaire. The distribution roller 7 is rotatably installed inside the box body 1. The distribution roller 7 is a roller with an adhesive layer on its surface. The distribution roller 7 presses against the topmost questionnaire. One end of the questionnaire placement box 5 is fixed with a questionnaire output plate 51. The questionnaire output plate 51 is an arc-shaped plate, and a rounded corner is provided at the connection end of the questionnaire output plate 51 and the questionnaire placement box 5 to facilitate the output of the questionnaire. The box body 1 is provided with a questionnaire output port 14 at the questionnaire output plate 51. When distributing the questionnaire, the distribution roller 7 can be rotated. Through the frictional force between the distribution roller 7 and the upper-layer questionnaire, the topmost questionnaire can be moved onto the questionnaire output plate 51. Then, the smoker can take out the questionnaire from the questionnaire output port 14 to fill it out without wasting too much manpower, and the smoker can operate it by himself.

[0034] As shown Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, in this embodiment, the pressing component 6 includes a pressing plate 61, a limiting rod 62, and a pressing spring 63. The pressing plate 61 is vertically slidably installed inside the questionnaire placement box 5. The pressing plate 61 is used to press the bottommost questionnaire. The limiting rod 62 is fixed to the bottom side of the pressing plate 61. The number of the limiting rods 62 can be multiple. The lower end of the limiting rod 62 penetrates the bottom side of the questionnaire placement box 5 and can slide in the vertical direction. A circular anti-detachment plate 621 is fixed to the lower end of the limiting rod 62. The diameter of the anti-detachment plate 621 is larger than the diameter of the limiting rod 62, which can prevent the limiting rod 62 from detaching from the questionnaire placement box 5. The pressing spring 63 is sleeved on the limiting rod 62, and the upper end of the pressing spring 63 abuts against the pressing plate 61, and the lower end of the pressing spring 63 abuts against the bottom side wall of the questionnaire placement box 5. Through the action of the pressing component 6, the questionnaire can be pressed against the distribution roller 7 at all times, increasing the frictional force between the questionnaire and the distribution roller 7, so that the questionnaire can be smoothly sent out.

[0035] As shown Figure 4As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the dispensing roller 7 is arranged on one side of the questionnaire placement box 5 close to the questionnaire output board 51. When the dispensing roller 7 rotates one circle, a complete questionnaire can be sent out. A first rotating shaft 71 is penetrated and fixed in the middle of the dispensing roller 7. Both ends of the first rotating shaft 71 are rotatably installed on two side walls inside the box body 1. A transmission member 8 is arranged between the first rotating shaft 71 and the rotating rod 331. The transmission member 8 includes a first pulley 81, a second pulley 82 and a belt 83. The first pulley 81 is fixed on the first rotating shaft 71, the second pulley 82 is fixed on the rotating rod 331, and the belt 83 is tensioned between the first pulley 81 and the second pulley 82. Through such a setting, cigarettes and questionnaires can be sent out simultaneously, reducing the situation that smokers forget to fill out the questionnaire. At the same time, it can also reduce the operations of smokers and improve the cooperation degree of smokers.

[0036] As Figure 5 shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the pressing assembly 6 further includes a pressing roller 64. A second rotating shaft 641 is penetrated and fixed in the middle of the pressing roller 64. Both ends of the second rotating shaft 641 are rotatably installed on two side walls inside the box body 1. The pressing roller 64 also presses against the topmost questionnaire, and the pressing roller 64 is arranged on one side of the questionnaire placement box 5 away from the questionnaire output board 51. The pressing roller 64 and the dispensing roller 7 cooperate with each other to press both ends of the questionnaire respectively, reducing the problem of the questionnaire warping.

[0037] As Figure 6 shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the questionnaire dispensing mechanism further includes a placing assembly 9 for placing questionnaires. The placing assembly 9 includes a placing board 91 and a support frame 92. The placing board 91 is hinged at the questionnaire output port 14. The placing board 91 can cover the questionnaire output port 14. The support frame 92 is a U-shaped rod. Both ends of the support frame 92 are fixed on the box body 1, and both ends of the support frame 92 are located on both sides of the questionnaire output port 14. When the placing board 91 opens the questionnaire output port 14, the U-shaped rod can abut against the placing board 91 to keep the placing board 91 in a position parallel to the horizontal plane. When the questionnaire is sent out, it can automatically flow onto the placing board 91, facilitating smokers to fill out the questionnaire. In addition, a placing box 13 is fixed on the front side of the box body 1. Multiple pens are placed in the placing box 13 for smokers to use when filling out the questionnaire.

[0038] As Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, in this embodiment, the questionnaire issuing mechanism further includes a latch assembly 10 for automatically opening the bearing plate 91. The latch assembly 10 includes a sub-latch 101, a mother-latch 102, a fixed shaft 103, and a cam 104. One end of the sub-latch 101 is fixed to the bearing plate 91, and the fixed shaft 103 is fixed to the side wall inside the box body 1. The middle part of the mother-latch 102 is rotatably installed on the fixed shaft 103, and a first torsion spring is installed between the mother-latch 102 and the fixed shaft 103. In the state where the first torsion spring is not subject to external force, the mother-latch 102 is parallel to the horizontal plane. The cam 104 is fixed to the first rotating shaft 71. One end of the mother-latch 102 is provided with a hook, and one end of the sub-latch 101 close to the hook is provided with a circular block adapted to the hook. The hook and the circular block can be snap-fitted. One end of the mother-latch 102 away from the circular block is located on the movement track of the protruding part of the cam 104. When the issuing roller 7 rotates and outputs the questionnaire outward, the cam 104 can be driven to rotate by the first rotating shaft 71. The cam 104 abuts against the mother-latch 102, causing the mother-latch 102 to rotate, so that the sub-latch 101 is separated from the mother-latch 102, and the bearing plate 91 can be automatically opened, and the questionnaire can also flow smoothly onto the bearing plate 91. And by setting like this, when the questionnaire does not need to be filled in usually, the questionnaire outlet 14 can also be closed by the bearing plate 91, reducing the entry of external sundries into the box body 1.

[0039] As Figure 6 shown, in this embodiment, a positioning frame 911 is fixed to one side of the bearing plate 91 for bearing the questionnaire. The positioning frame 911 is a U-shaped frame. When the questionnaire flows onto the bearing plate 91, it can be restricted within the positioning frame 911, reducing the risk of the questionnaire falling to the ground.

[0040] As Figure 5 shown, in this embodiment, a third rotating shaft 912 is penetrated and fixed at a position near the lower end of the bearing plate 91. Both ends of the third rotating shaft 912 are rotatably installed in the questionnaire outlet 14 of the box body 1, and a second torsion spring is installed between the third rotating shaft 912 and the box body 1. When the second torsion spring is in the state of not being subject to external force, the bearing plate 91 is in a position parallel to the horizontal plane. By setting like this, when the issued questionnaire is sent out, the bearing plate 91 can be smoothly opened.

[0041] As[[ID=##ID##]] Figure 2 and Figure 5 [[ID=##ID##]]shown, in this embodiment, a questionnaire storage cavity 15 is provided below the questionnaire placement box 5 in the box body 1. The bottom end of the bearing plate 91 is provided with a guide plate 913 for guiding the questionnaire into the questionnaire storage cavity 15. The guide plate 913 is an arc-shaped plate. When the smoker finishes filling in the questionnaire and resets the bearing plate 91, the questionnaire on the bearing plate 91 can automatically flow into the questionnaire storage cavity 15, which is very convenient and does not require too much operation by the smoker.

[0042] As Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, a box door 16 is hinged to the rear side of the box body 1. When the box door 16 is opened, the questionnaires collected in the questionnaire storage cavity 15 can be taken. In addition, the rear side of the questionnaire placement box 5 is an open structure. When the box door 16 is closed, it can abut against the rear open end of the questionnaire placement box 5. With this setting, when the box door 16 is opened, it is also convenient for the staff to place new questionnaires into the questionnaire placement box 5.

[0043] As Figure 9 shown, in this embodiment, a control button 17 and a controller are also installed on the box body 1. The control button 17 and the motor 33 are both electrically connected to the controller. By pressing the control button 17, the motor 33 can be started. In addition, a first photoelectric sensor is installed in the cigarette storage cabinet 2, a second photoelectric sensor is installed in the questionnaire placement box 5, a first warning light and a second warning light are installed on the box body 1. The first warning light, the second warning light, the first photoelectric sensor and the second photoelectric sensor are all electrically connected to the controller. When the first photoelectric sensor detects that there is no cigarette in the cigarette storage cabinet 2, the first warning light will be turned on. When the second photoelectric sensor detects that there is no questionnaire in the questionnaire placement box 5, the second warning light will be turned on, reminding the staff to replenish cigarettes and questionnaires in time.
