[0039] Reference Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a smoke guide block fixing device. The smoke guide block fixing device is arranged in the cigarette storage 100 of the cigarette packaging machine. The cigarette storage 100 has a smoke outlet, and a plurality of rotating rollers 210 are arranged at intervals below the smoke outlet, and a smoke duct is formed between two adjacent rotating rollers 210. The smoke guide block fixing device includes a double guide position plug plate 110 and a triple guide position plug plate 120 that can be selectively installed in the cigarette storage 100. Both the double guide position plug plate 110 and the triple guide position plug plate 120 are provided with a mounting hole group for installing the smoke guide block 300, wherein the double guide position plug plate 110 is provided with two mounting hole groups, and the two mounting hole groups are arranged corresponding to two of the multiple smoke ducts, and the triple guide position plug plate 120 is provided with three mounting hole groups, and the three mounting hole groups are arranged corresponding to three of the multiple smoke ducts. The smoke guide block 300 is provided with a smoke guide groove 310, and the smoke guide groove 310 is suitable for being arranged opposite to the smoke duct corresponding to the mounting hole group when the smoke guide block 300 is installed to the mounting hole group.

[0040] The beneficial effects of the cigarette guide block fixing device are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and the working process of the cigarette packaging machine. Figures 1 to 4 As shown, three of the multiple flues are the first flue 221, the second flue 222 and the third flue 223. When the double guide plug plate 110 is installed in the cigarette bin 100, the two mounting hole groups on the double guide plug plate 110 can correspond to two of the first flue 221, the second flue 222 and the third flue 223; when the triple guide plug plate 120 is installed in the cigarette bin 100, the three mounting hole groups on the triple guide plug plate 120 can correspond to all three of the first flue 221, the second flue 222 and the third flue 223. Figure 6 to Figure 7 As shown, the smoke guide block 300 is mainly configured in two structures, one of which is configured as follows: Figure 6 The structure shown in FIG. 1 is provided with a smoke guide groove 310; another structure is provided as follows Figure 7 The structure shown has two smoke guide grooves 310 .

[0041] Specifically, during the process of packaging mixed cigarettes, one brand of cigarettes falls into the flue through the smoke inlet, the smoke outlet, and the rotating roller 210 in sequence. When a cigarette of another brand needs to be added to any of the first flue 221, the second flue 222, and the third flue 223, the three-position guide plate 120 can be installed in the cigarette bin 100. Figure 8 For example, Figure 8 The three installation hole groups on the middle three-position guide plate 120 can be correspondingly connected to three smoke guide blocks 300 with one smoke guide groove 310, or a smoke guide block 300 with one smoke guide groove 310 and a smoke guide block 300 with two smoke guide grooves 310 can be installed at the same time. After installation, the three smoke guide grooves 310 can be respectively arranged opposite to the first flue 221, the second flue 222 and the third flue 223. For example, when a cigarette of another brand needs to be dropped into the first flue 221, it is only necessary to push a cigarette of another brand into the smoke guide groove 310 corresponding to the first flue 221 through an external driving device. After the cigarette is pushed in, it falls into the first flue 221 due to its own weight, thereby realizing the reliable addition of a cigarette of another brand.

[0042] When two cigarettes of another brand need to be added to the first smoke duct 221, the second smoke duct 222 and the third smoke duct 223, the double guide plate 110 can be installed in the cigarette bin 100. The position of the mounting hole group on the double guide plate 110 can be adaptively adjusted according to actual needs. The two mounting hole groups on the double guide plate 110 can be connected to install a smoke guide block 300 with two smoke guide grooves 310, or install two smoke guide blocks 300 with one smoke guide groove 310. Fig. 9 and Fig.10 For example, Fig. 9 After the smoke guide block 300 is installed, the two smoke guide grooves 310 can be arranged opposite to the second smoke duct 222 and the third smoke duct 223 respectively; Fig.10 After the smoke guide block 300 is installed, the two smoke guide grooves 310 can be arranged opposite to the first smoke duct 221 and the second smoke duct 222 respectively. For example, when two cigarettes of another brand need to be dropped into the first smoke duct 221 and the second smoke duct 222 respectively, Fig.10 The double guide plate 110 shown is installed in the cigarette warehouse 100, and then two cigarettes of another brand are pushed into the corresponding smoke guide groove 310 through an external driving device. After being pushed in, the two cigarettes fall into the first smoke duct 221 and the second smoke duct 222 due to their own weight, thereby realizing the reliable addition of two cigarettes of another brand.

[0043] When it is necessary to add a cigarette of another brand to the first flue 221, the second flue 222 and the third flue 223 respectively, the three-guide plate 120 is installed in the cigarette storage 100 again, and the three cigarettes of another brand are pushed into the three smoke guide grooves 310 respectively through an external driving device, thereby achieving reliable addition of three cigarettes of another brand.

[0044] The smoke guide block fixing device provided in this embodiment, the arrangement of the double guide position plug plate 110 and the triple guide position plug plate 120 can meet the installation requirements of smoke guide blocks 300 of different numbers and positions, so as to quickly arrange smoke guide grooves 310 of different numbers and positions, and can further meet the requirements of adding another brand of cigarettes of different numbers and positions, which not only ensures strong compatibility, but also eliminates the need to modify the complex structure of the cigarette packaging machine.

[0045] Furthermore, a slot (not shown) is provided on the inner side wall of the cigarette bin 100, and the double guide plate 110 and the three guide plate 120 can be selectively inserted into the slot. In this embodiment, the fit between the double guide plate 110 and the three guide plate 120 and the slot is set to an interference fit, thereby ensuring the reliability and stability of the insertion.

[0046] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 5 As shown, the cigarette guide block fixing device also includes a blocking plate 130, which can be plugged into the slot with either the double-guide plug plate 110 or the triple-guide plug plate 120. In this embodiment, when another brand of cigarettes does not need to be added during the cigarette packaging process, the blocking plate 130 can be correspondingly plugged into the slot to block the slot, which is neat and beautiful.

[0047] Further, refer to Figures 8 to 10As shown, the mounting hole group includes a mounting hole 101, and the smoke guide block 300 is correspondingly provided with a mounting head 320, and the mounting head 320 is inserted into the mounting hole 101. Optionally, the end of the mounting head 320 is provided with an external thread, and the mounting head 320 can be inserted into the mounting hole 101 and the mounting head 320 can be screwed with a nut (not shown) after penetrating the mounting hole 101, so that the mounting head 320 can be fixed more reliably.

[0048] Further, continue to refer to Figures 8 to 10 As shown, the mounting hole group includes a positioning long hole 102, and the positioning long hole 102 and the mounting hole 101 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the smoke guide groove 310. The smoke guide block 300 is correspondingly provided with a positioning head 330, and the positioning head 330 is plugged into the positioning long hole 102. When the smoke guide block 300 is fixed on the double-guide plug plate 110 or the three-guide plug plate 120 through the connection between the mounting head 320 and the mounting hole 101, the positioning head 330 on the smoke guide block 300 will also be plugged into the corresponding positioning long hole 102. The plug-in cooperation between the positioning head 330 and the positioning long hole 102 can prevent the end of the smoke guide block 300 away from the mounting head 320 from deflecting and tilting, and further ensure the reliability and effectiveness of the subsequent cigarette addition.

[0049] In this embodiment, the smoke guiding groove 310 is configured as a U-shaped groove.

[0050] In this embodiment, continue to refer to Figures 8 to 10 As shown, both the double guide plug plate 110 and the triple guide plug plate 120 are provided with a fixing portion corresponding to the mounting hole group, and the fixing portion includes a plurality of fixing holes 103 arranged at intervals along the length direction of the smoke guide groove 310, and the fixing holes 103 are used to install the position detection element. Preferably, the number of the fixing holes 103 on each fixing portion is set to four, and the four fixing holes 103 are arranged at equal intervals along the length direction of the smoke guide groove 310.

[0051] In this embodiment, the position detection element is set as a photoelectric sensor, which can detect the number of cigarettes in the cigarette slot corresponding to the corresponding installation hole group in real time. The principle and process of the photoelectric sensor detecting the number of cigarettes in the cigarette slot are all existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0052] Optionally, chamfers or rounded corners are provided at the corners of the double guide plug plate 110, the triple guide plug plate 120 and the blocking plate 130. Such a configuration allows operators to avoid being stabbed by the sharp tips when taking the double guide plug plate 110, the triple guide plug plate 120 and the blocking plate 130.

[0053] Optionally, the double guide plug plate 110, the triple guide plug plate 120 and the blocking plate 130 are all made of stainless steel. Stainless steel has good corrosion resistance and reliable strength, rigidity and high temperature resistance.
