It should be noted that, unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values ​​of the components and steps set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the invention.

[0020] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the invention or its application or use.

[0021] Techniques, methods, and equipment known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0022] In all the examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0023] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be discussed further in subsequent figures.

[0024] according to Figure 1 As shown, this invention provides a cigarette leakage sorting device, including a pad 1, a sliding block 2, and a sliding plate 3. The pad 1 has an arc-shaped groove 12. The sliding block 2 is disposed on the pad 1 and located on both sides of the top of the arc-shaped groove 12, and the sliding block 2 is detachably connected to the pad 1. The sliding block 2 and the sliding plate 3, through their closed-loop mechanism, form a cigarette leakage device capable of collecting and dropping cigarettes. When cigarettes need to be collected, the leakage device is placed on the pad 1. When cigarettes need to be transported to the conveyor belt, the leakage device is separated from the pad 1, and the independent leakage device is placed above the conveyor belt, facilitating the unfolding effect of the sliding plate 3, allowing the cigarettes to fall onto the conveyor belt for transport.

[0025] The sliding block 2 has a sliding groove, which is concentric with the arc-shaped groove 12. The sliding plate 3 has an arc-shaped structure, is set inside the sliding block 2, and can slide along the sliding groove. When the two sliding plates 3 are in contact with each other, the cigarettes are collected on the two sliding plates 3. When the two sliding plates 3 are far apart, the cigarettes can enter the arc-shaped groove 12 through the gap between the two sliding plates 3. In this invention, the pad 1 is placed in the cigarette recycling box, and the cigarette leakage device composed of the sliding block 2 and the sliding plate 3 is placed on the pad 1, with the left and right sliding plates 3 in a completely closed state. The recycled cigarettes are placed into the cigarette leakage device. After the recycled cigarettes are full, the cigarette leakage device is taken out and supported above the conveyor belt at the exit of the cigarette making machine. At this time, the sliding plate 3 is opened a certain distance, and the cigarettes slowly fall into the conveyor belt by their own weight. After automatic addition, the empty cigarette leakage device is placed on the pad 1 of the cigarette recycling box for repeated use.

[0026] Furthermore, the sliding block 2 is also provided with three equidistant positioning screw holes 4, and the sliding plate 3 is provided with fixing holes. The fixing holes can be connected to any one of the positioning screw holes 4 by screws to fix the position of the sliding plate 3. In implementation, the opening and closing angle of the sliding plate 3 is controlled by the positioning screw holes 4 to prevent the sliding plate 3 from suddenly closing during the falling of the cigarette, which would cause the cigarette to be squeezed and deformed and hinder the delivery of the remaining cigarette.

[0027] Furthermore, one of the sliding plates 3 is equipped with a mesh chain 10 at its bottom, which is used to collect any spilled cigarettes. In practice, when a cigarette falls onto the conveyor belt and is transported, the mesh chain 10 can adhere to the upper surface of the cigarette, ensuring the normal transport of the cigarette and thus achieving the purpose of collecting the cigarettes.

[0028] Furthermore, the support blocks 8 are located at the top of both ends of the arc-shaped groove 12 and outside the side wall of the pad plate 1. By extending and opening the two support blocks 8, the cigarette leakage sorting device can be placed in the recycling cigarette box.

[0029] Furthermore, the top of each sliding block 2 is connected to a connecting block 5 via countersunk screws 6. A double-ended screw 7 is located on the opposite side of each connecting block 5, and the support block 8 is rotatably connected to the double-ended screw 7. The support block 8 and the connecting block 5 are rotatably connected. When not in use, the support block 8 is vertically downwards to avoid occupying too much space when unfolded.

[0030] Furthermore, the support block 8 has an L-shaped structure, with one end of its horizontal bar connected to the double-headed screw 7 and the other end connected to a downwardly positioned vertical bar, so that the support block 8 can hook onto the opposite side walls of the recycling cigarette box.

[0031] Furthermore, the end of the crossbar near the double-ended screw 7 is also provided with a limiting plate 11 extending along its length, which can rest on the upper surface of the connecting block 5. In implementation, since the support block 8 and the connecting block 5 are rotatably connected, in order to ensure that the support block 8 can be completely horizontal on the opposite side wall of the recycling cigarette box, there should be a fixed position between its crossbar and the connecting block 5 that cannot be rotated. The limiting plate 11 extending in this invention can effectively achieve the above-mentioned effect.

[0032] Furthermore, a sorting plate 9 is provided on one side of the pad 1. The sorting plate 9 is fixedly connected to two sliding blocks 2, which is used to make one end of the cigarette relatively flush. When the cigarettes are full, the position of the sorting plate 9 is tilted and lowered, and one end of the cigarettes contacts the sorting plate 9 under its own weight, thereby achieving the technical purpose of aligning the cigarettes.

[0033] While specific embodiments of the invention have been described in detail by way of examples, those skilled in the art should understand that the examples are for illustrative purposes only and not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can be made to the above embodiments without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention. The scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims.
