A first detector is provided at the sliding door, and the first detector is connected to an emptying button. The sliding door is used for storing or unloading cigarettes, and the first detector is used to detect whether unloading is complete. Pressing the emptying button will block the detection signal of the first detector. A second detector is provided at the end of the cigarette conveying mechanism, and the second detector is used to detect whether all cigarettes have been conveyed to the end of the cigarette conveying mechanism. The detection signals from both the first and second detectors are transmitted to the drive motor of the cigarette conveying mechanism, and the drive motor controls the operation of the cigarette conveying mechanism according to the corresponding detection signals.

[0005] Preferably, the cigarette storage chamber is a square structure with two symmetrically arranged smoke guide plates inside, which facilitate the guidance of cigarettes in the cigarette storage chamber to the first unloading port.

[0006] Preferably, the two smoke guide plates are inclined and guided at the bottom to the first smoke discharge port, and welded to the inner wall of the smoke storage chamber.

[0007] Preferably, the sliding door is installed in a groove at the bottom of the smoke storage chamber, and a handle is provided on its outer side. The handle makes it easy to pull the sliding door to open and close it.

[0008] Preferably, the first detector is located below the sliding door and fixed to the smoke storage bin bracket, and the second detector is also fixed to the smoke storage bin bracket.

[0009] Preferably, the first and second unloading ports are located directly below the conveyor belt of the cigarette conveying mechanism, which facilitates the cigarettes falling from the cigarette storage bin onto the conveyor belt.

[0010] Preferably, the venting button is installed on the conveyor belt bracket of the cigarette conveying mechanism for easy manual operation.

[0011] The cigarette supply device for a cigarette packaging machine provided by this invention has a compact structure. By changing the cigarette storage bin, different brands of cigarettes can be supplied, greatly reducing the time required to change cigarette brands. In addition, the device uses two detectors to achieve overall automation of the equipment, saving time and labor. Attached Figure Description

They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this invention.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a cigarette supply device for a cigarette packaging machine, including a cigarette storage bin 1, a cigarette storage bin support 2, and a cigarette conveying mechanism 3. The cigarette storage bin 1 is installed on the cigarette storage bin support 2 and is located above the cigarette conveying mechanism 3.

[0033] The cigarette storage bin 1 has a square structure, and the cigarette storage bin support 2 is an integral large frame structure. The support 2 has a cigarette storage bin mounting groove 21, which is square and conforms to the structure of the cigarette storage bin 1. The cigarette storage bin 1 is completely fitted into the mounting groove 21. Inside the cigarette storage bin 1 are two smoke guide plates 11, which are inclined and symmetrically arranged and welded to the inner wall of the bin. The bottom of the cigarette storage bin 1 has an upper unloading port 12 and a sliding door 13. The support 2 has a lower unloading port 22, which corresponds vertically. Directly below both is the conveyor belt 31 of the cigarette conveying mechanism 3. The sliding door 13 is located between the upper smoke discharge port 12 and the lower smoke discharge port 22. It is made of a square thin plate, arranged horizontally, and installed in the sliding groove 14 at the bottom of the smoke storage chamber 1. A handle 15 is provided on the outside of the sliding door 13. Pulling the handle 15 makes the sliding door 13 slide horizontally, thereby opening and closing the sliding door 13.

[0034] A first detector 4 is located below the sliding door 13. The first detector 4 is fixed to the cigarette storage bin support 2 and connected to the venting button 6. The venting button 6 is installed on the conveyor belt support 32 of the cigarette conveying mechanism 3. A second detector 5 is located at the end of the cigarette conveying mechanism 3 and is fixed to the cigarette storage bin support 2.

[0035] The detection signals from the first detector 4 and the second detector 5 are both transmitted to the drive motor 33 of the cigarette conveying mechanism 3. The drive motor 33 controls the operation of the cigarette conveying mechanism 3 according to the corresponding detection signals.

[0036] Using the cigarette supply device for a cigarette packaging machine provided by this invention, the cigarette storage bin 1 contains cigarettes of the same brand. The cigarette storage bin 1 is placed in the cigarette storage bin mounting slot 21 of the cigarette storage bin bracket 2. The handle 15 on the sliding door 13 is manually pulled to open the sliding door 13, and the cigarettes in the cigarette storage bin 1 fall onto the conveyor belt 31 through the upper unloading port 12 and the lower unloading port 22. During this process, if the first detector 4 detects a cigarette at the lower unloading port 22 and the second detector 5 does not detect a cigarette, the drive motor 33 will rotate, thereby driving the conveyor belt 31 to transport the cigarettes to the end of the cigarette conveying mechanism 3. When the first detector 4 does not detect a cigarette, it indicates that the cigarettes in the cigarette storage bin 1 have been used up, and the equipment will temporarily stop.

[0037] If other brands of cigarettes are to be transported, the cigarette storage chamber 1 is removed and replaced with a cigarette storage chamber containing other brands of cigarettes. After the replacement is completed, the sliding door 13 is opened, and when the first detector 4 detects a cigarette, the drive motor 33 continues to rotate.

[0038] If it is not necessary to continue changing to other brands of cigarettes, press the vent button 6 to block the detection signal of the first detector 4. Then the drive motor 33 will continue to run until the second detector 5 can no longer detect cigarettes, indicating that all cigarettes have been transported from the end by the conveyor belt 31. At this time, the vent button 6 will reset, completing the supply process of different brands of cigarettes.

[0039] It should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and cannot limit the scope of the invention. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
