However, these embodiments do not limit the present invention, and any structural, methodological, or functional changes made by those skilled in the art based on these embodiments are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0070] The present invention provides a chain-type automatic cigarette dispenser, which is suitable for automatically delivering cigarettes to users in places such as exhibition halls. It can realize mechanized cigarette delivery operations, which is conducive to reducing the labor costs of promoters.

[0071] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the chain-type automatic smoke dispenser includes a housing 1. The housing 1 includes a rear cover 101 having an accommodating cavity and a panel 102 hingedly connected to the rear cover 101 to cover the opening of the accommodating cavity. A smoke outlet 1021 is provided at the lower portion of the panel 102.

[0072] A chain assembly 2, a plurality of cigarette storage boxes 3 and a cigarette pushing mechanism 4 are arranged in the accommodating cavity.

[0073] Among them, each of the cigarette storage boxes 3 can be detachably mounted on the chain assembly 2 and is driven by the chain assembly 2 to change position; when a designated cigarette storage box 3 moves to a designated position aligned with the smoke outlet 1021, the cigarette pushing mechanism 4 can push out a cigarette in the cigarette storage box 3, thereby realizing mechanized cigarette delivery.

[0074] Specifically, see Figure 3 The chain assembly 2 includes a chain body 201, a transposition motor 202 for driving the chain body 201 to rotate, and a plurality of fixed holders 203 fixed on the chain body 201 and corresponding to each of the cigarette storage boxes 3;

[0075] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 The fixed card seat 203 includes a card seat body 2031 pluggably connected to the cigarette storage box 3, a card seat rotating buckle plate 2032 hinged to the end of the card seat body 2031, and a card seat torsion spring;

[0076] The holder torsion spring is used to drive the holder rotating buckle plate 2032 to rotate relative to the holder body 2031 toward the cigarette storage box 3 to prevent the cigarette storage box 3 from escaping from the fixed holder 203 .

[0077] In this embodiment, the cigarette storage box 3 comprises a box body 301, a rotating cigarette inlet cover 302, a rotating button plate 303, and a cover torsion spring 304. The box body 301 is provided with a cigarette inlet 3011 (the inlet 3011 is square to allow for the radial intake of cigarettes). Below the inlet 3011 is a cigarette storage chamber 3012 for stacking multiple cigarettes (the storage chamber 3012 is only wide enough to accommodate one cigarette to prevent two cigarettes from falling side by side). A cigarette outlet 3013 is provided on the side of the lower portion of the cigarette storage chamber 3012 (the outlet 3013 is circular to allow for the axial discharge of cigarettes).

[0078] Optionally, a surface of the card holder body 2031 away from the chain body 201 is provided with a trapezoidal boss that is inserted into the cigarette storage box 3. Correspondingly, a top surface of the cigarette inlet rotary cover 302 is provided with a trapezoidal slot 3021 for the trapezoidal boss to be inserted into.

[0079] One end of the cigarette inlet rotary cover 302 is hinged to one end of the cigarette box body 301 to cover the cigarette inlet port 3011; the cigarette box rotating buckle plate 303 is hinged to the other end of the cigarette box body 301; the box cover torsion spring 304 is installed at the hinge axis position of the cigarette box rotating buckle plate 303 and the cigarette box body 301, and is used to drive the cigarette box rotating buckle plate 303 to rotate relative to the cigarette box body 301 in a direction close to the cigarette inlet rotary cover 302, so as to limit the cigarette inlet rotary cover 302 from opening the cigarette inlet port 301.

[0080] Further, see Figure 6 and Figure 7 The cigarette storage box 3 further includes a compression spring 312 and a spring torsion spring 313. One end of the compression spring 312 is hinged to the cigarette inlet cover 302; the spring torsion spring 313 is installed at the hinge axis between the compression spring 312 and the cigarette inlet cover 302, and is used to drive the other end of the compression spring 312 to rotate downward relative to the cigarette inlet cover 302, so as to push the bottom cigarette in the cigarette storage chamber 3012 to align with the cigarette outlet 3013.

[0081] Optional, see Figure 10 The cigarette storage box 3 further includes a cigarette pushing slider 305 and a cigarette pushing and returning tension spring 306. The cigarette pushing slider 305 is located at the bottom of the cigarette storage chamber 3012 and is slidably connected to the cigarette box body 301; the cigarette pushing and returning tension spring 306 connects the end of the cigarette box body 301 away from the cigarette outlet 3013 and the cigarette pushing slider 305;

[0082] The cigarette pushing slider 305 has a retreat state in which it is driven by the cigarette pushing reset spring 306 to slide away from the cigarette outlet 3013 , and has a cigarette pushing state in which it is driven by the cigarette pushing mechanism 4 to slide toward the cigarette outlet 3013 .

[0083] Optionally, the upper portion of the cigarette pushing slider 305 is in an L-shaped structure, which can support the cigarette at the bottom of the cigarette and push the cigarette forward from the rear end of the cigarette.

[0084] In this embodiment, the cigarette pushing mechanism 4 includes a cigarette pushing plate 401 located on the side of the cigarette pushing slider 305 away from the cigarette outlet 3013, and a linear drive mechanism 402 that drives the cigarette pushing plate 401 toward or away from the cigarette pushing slider 305. It should be noted that the cigarette pushing plate 401 is not fixedly connected to the cigarette pushing slider 305 to prevent the cigarette pushing plate 401 from interfering with the reset operation of the cigarette pushing reset spring 306.

[0085] Optionally, the linear drive mechanism 402 may be an air cylinder, an oil cylinder, an electric cylinder, or a motor screw assembly, etc., which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0086] Furthermore, a photoelectric sensor is provided at the smoke outlet 1021 and is in communication with the linear drive mechanism 402. When the photoelectric sensor detects that the pushed-out cigarette has been taken away, the linear drive mechanism 402 can drive the cigarette pushing plate 401 to move backward so that the cigarette pushing slider 305 is reset to the retracted state.

[0087] In this embodiment, see Figure 8 and Figure 9The cigarette storage box 3 further includes a cigarette outlet sliding cover 307 , a rotating hook plate 308 , a hook plate tension spring 309 , a sliding hook plate 310 and a sliding latch 311 .

[0088] The smoke outlet sliding cover 307 is slidably connected to the side of the cigarette case body 301 where the smoke inlet 3011 is located. A long slot 3071 is provided on the side of the smoke outlet sliding cover 307, and a sliding latch 311 is slidably disposed in the slot 3071. A rotating hook plate 308 is hingedly connected to the sliding latch 311 at one end, hingedly connected to the cigarette case body 301 at the middle, and has an upper hook portion 3081 at the other end. A hook plate tension spring 309 connects the rotating hook plate 308 to the cigarette case body 301. The upper end of the sliding hook plate 310 is provided with a lower hook portion 3101 that engages with the upper hook portion 3081, and the lower end is fixed to the side of the cigarette push slider 305.

[0089] When the cigarette pushing slider 305 is in the retracted state, the sliding hook plate 310 drives the rotating hook plate 308 to rotate downward, so that the cigarette outlet sliding cover 307 slides downward to cover the cigarette outlet 3013;

[0090] When the cigarette pushing slider 305 is in the cigarette pushing state, the hook plate tension spring 309 drives the rotating hook plate 308 to rotate upward, so that the cigarette outlet sliding cover 307 slides to above the cigarette outlet 3013.

[0091] The chain-type automatic smoke dispenser provided in this embodiment works as follows:

[0092] (1) Loading cigarettes

[0093] S101: See Figure 2 , the exhibition hall staff opens panel 102;

[0094] S102: See Figure 5 , overcome the elastic force of the card base torsion spring, rotate the card base rotating buckle 2032 in the opposite direction, and then slide the cigarette storage box 3 out of the card base body 2031; (after releasing the hand, the elastic force of the card base torsion spring will drive the card base rotating buckle 2032 to rotate forward and reset);

[0095] S103: See Figure 6 and Figure 7 , overcome the elastic force of the box cover torsion spring 304, rotate the cigarette box rotating buckle 303 in the opposite direction, and then open the cigarette inlet rotating cover 302 (an additional torsion spring can also be added to make the cigarette inlet rotating cover 302 automatically rotate to the opening angle), and put the cigarettes one by one into the cigarette storage chamber 3012 through the cigarette inlet 3011;

[0096] S104: The cigarette inlet rotary cover 302 is rotated in the reverse direction so that the cigarette inlet rotary cover 302 covers the cigarette inlet 3011. At this time, the elastic force of the box cover torsion spring 304 drives the cigarette box rotating buckle plate 303 to rotate forward and engage with the cigarette inlet rotary cover 302 to prevent the cigarette inlet rotary cover 302 from rotating to open the cigarette inlet 3011.

[0097] S105: See Figure 4 , overcome the elastic force of the card base torsion spring, rotate the card base rotating buckle 2032 in the opposite direction, and then push the trapezoidal slot 3021 of the cigarette inlet rotating cover 302 into the trapezoidal boss on the card base body 2031. When it is pushed to the bottom, the elastic force of the card base torsion spring drives the card base rotating buckle 2032 to rotate forward and reset. The card base rotating buckle 2032 abuts against the side of the cigarette storage box 3 to prevent the cigarette storage box 3 from separating from the fixed card base 203;

[0098] S106: Repeat S20 to S50 to load cigarettes of different specifications and models into each cigarette storage box 3;

[0099] S107: Close the panel 102 to complete the cigarette loading operation.

[0100] (2) Taking cigarettes

[0101] S201: The panel 102 is provided with a plurality of buttons 1022 for selecting cigarette specifications, models, or flavors. When the user clicks a corresponding button 1022 on the panel 102, the shifting motor 202 drives the cigarette storage box 3 loaded with the selected cigarettes to move to align with the cigarette outlet 1021;

[0102] S202: See Figure 8 and Figure 10 The linear drive mechanism 402 drives the cigarette pushing plate 401 to move forward, and the cigarette pushing plate 401 drives the cigarette pushing slider 305 to drive the sliding hook plate 310 to move forward (the cigarette pushing slider 305 enters the cigarette pushing state). At this time:

[0103] On the one hand, when the sliding hook plate 310 moves forward with the cigarette pushing slider 305, the limiting effect of the sliding hook plate 310 is lost, and the hook plate tension spring 309 drives the rotating hook plate 308 to move upward, thereby driving the cigarette outlet sliding cover 307 to move upward to open the cigarette outlet 3013;

[0104] On the other hand, the bottom cigarette will be pushed forward along the axial direction of the cigarette by the cigarette pushing slider 305, and the head of the cigarette will extend out of the panel 102 through the smoke outlet 3013 and the smoke outlet hole 1021 so that the user can take it.

[0105] S203: After the user takes the extended cigarette away;

[0106] On the one hand, the photoelectric sensor detects that the cigarette has been taken away, and the linear drive mechanism 402 drives the cigarette pushing plate 401 to move backward. After losing the pushing force of the cigarette pushing plate 401, the cigarette pushing slider 305 slides backward under the tension of the cigarette pushing return spring 306, and finally returns to the retracted state;

[0107] On the other hand, the elastic torsion spring 313 drives the compression elastic sheet 312 to press down each cigarette, so that the bottom cigarette of the remaining cigarettes in the cigarette storage box 3 is aligned with the cigarette outlet 3013 again, which is convenient for next time to take out.

[0108] In summary, the chain-type automatic cigarette dispenser provided in this embodiment has the beneficial effect that after the cigarette storage box 3 is transported to the designated position by the chain assembly 2, the cigarette pushing mechanism 4 can push the cigarettes in the cigarette storage box 3 out, thereby realizing a mechanized cigarette delivery operation and reducing labor costs.

[0109] It should be understood that although this specification is described in terms of implementation methods, not every implementation method contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative method of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each implementation method can also be appropriately combined to form other implementation methods that can be understood by those skilled in the art.

[0110] The series of detailed descriptions listed above are only specific descriptions of feasible implementation methods of the present invention. They are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any equivalent implementation methods or changes that do not deviate from the technical spirit of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
