[0010] Beneficial Effects
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following advantages:
[0012] The utility model discloses a shaping device for conveying cigarette strips, which is provided with an inclined third conveyor belt, and a straightening component is provided on the second conveyor belt. When the inclined and crooked cigarette strip passes through the straightening component, the inclined protruding end first hits the roller. Under the push of the second conveyor belt, the roller exerts a reaction on the cigarette strip, so that the protruding end is blocked, and the other end continues to move under the transportation of the conveyor belt until one side of the cigarette strip is parallel to the roller, thereby playing a straightening role. Then, under the action of the second conveyor belt, the cigarette strip pushes the roller to rotate upward, so that the cigarette strip can pass through the second conveyor belt smoothly after being straightened. When the cigarette strip transitions from the second conveyor belt to the third conveyor belt, the cigarette strip is easy to fly out. By tilting the third conveyor belt The setting generates inclined pressure under the action of gravity, which makes the cigarette strips transition stably, thereby reducing the occurrence of cigarette strips flying out. By setting the screw, the height of the roller can be adjusted from both sides to meet the use of cigarette strips of different heights and models, thereby adapting to different production environments. By setting the alarm device, when the cigarette strip fails and cannot pass through the straightening device, it stays here for the process time and transmits the signal to the PLC controller. The controller controls the alarm to alert the staff to deal with it. This shaping device can automatically straighten the cigarette strips, thereby ensuring the smooth progress of subsequent packaging operations, reducing the occurrence of failures and saving labor costs. It is easy to use and has a wide range of applications. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0017] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the specific embodiments in the accompanying drawings.
[0018] See also Figure 1-3 As shown, a shaping device for conveying cigarette strips of the utility model comprises a first conveyor belt 4, a second conveyor belt 5 for reducing the conveying speed is arranged on one side of the first conveyor belt 4, a third conveyor belt 6 arranged obliquely is arranged on one side of the second conveyor belt 5, and a straightening assembly 1 for straightening the cigarette strips is arranged at one end of the second conveyor belt 5 close to the third conveyor belt 6, and the straightening assembly 1 comprises a support shaft 14, a roller 13, two open frames 11 and two connecting rods 12, the two open frames 11 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the second conveyor belt 5, and one end of the two connecting rods 12 is respectively connected to the open frames The body 11 is rotatably connected, the other end of the connecting rod 12 is connected to the support shaft 14, and the roller 13 is rotatably installed on the support shaft 14. An alarm device 2 for reminding of jamming is provided on one side of the opening frame 11. The conveying speed is reduced by the second conveyor belt 5 to effectively prevent the cigarettes from flying out due to excessive conveying speed. By setting an inclined third conveyor belt 6 and arranging a straightening component 1 on the second conveyor belt 5, when the inclined and crooked cigarette passes through the straightening component 1, the inclined protruding end first hits the roller 13, and under the push of the second conveyor belt 5, the roller 13 exerts pressure on the cigarette. Under the reaction, the protruding end is blocked, and the other end continues to move under the transportation of the conveyor belt until one side of the cigarette is parallel to the roller 13, thereby playing a role of correction. Then, under the action of the second conveyor belt 5, the cigarette pushes the roller 13 to rotate upward, so that the cigarette passes through the second conveyor belt 5 smoothly after correction. When the cigarette transitions from the second conveyor belt 5 to the third conveyor belt 6, the cigarette is easy to fly out. By arranging the third conveyor belt 6 at an angle, an inclined pressure is generated under the action of gravity, so that the cigarette transitions stably, thereby reducing the occurrence of cigarette flying failures. By setting the screw 9, the height of the roller 13 can be adjusted from both sides to meet the use of cigarettes of different heights and models, thereby adapting to different production environments. By setting the alarm device 2, when the cigarette fails and cannot pass through the correction device 1, it stays here for a process time and transmits the signal to the PLC controller 22. The PLC controller 22 controls the alarm 21 to alarm, thereby reminding the staff to handle it. This shaping device can automatically correct the cigarette, thereby ensuring the smooth progress of subsequent packaging operations, reducing the occurrence of failures and saving labor costs.
[0019] Specifically, the alarm device 2 includes a photoelectric sensor 23, a PLC controller 22 and an alarm 21. The photoelectric sensor 23 is installed on one side of the opening frame 11, and the PLC controller 22 and the alarm 21 are both installed on one side of the second conveyor belt 5. The photoelectric sensor 23, the alarm 21 and the PLC controller 22 are electrically connected. When a cigarette carton fails and cannot pass through the correction device 1, it stays here for a process time and transmits a signal to the PLC controller 22. The PLC controller 22 controls the alarm 21 to sound an alarm, thereby reminding the staff to handle it.
[0020] Preferably, a limit rod 7 is provided on one side of the inner side of the open frame 11 to limit the rotation of the connecting rod 12, thereby effectively preventing the roller 13 from moving in the reverse direction during the falling process after being lifted, thereby losing the adjustment function.
[0021] Furthermore, a return spring 10 is provided on the other side of the opening frame 11, and a guide rod 15 is inserted into the return spring 10, which effectively helps the roller 13 to quickly return to the lowest point, so as to adjust the next cigarette.
[0022] Furthermore, a screw rod 9 with a handle is provided above the opening frame 11, and a connecting block 8 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the screw rod 9. A connecting rod 12 is rotatably installed on the connecting block 8. The height of the connecting block 8 is controlled by rotating the screw rod 9, thereby controlling the height of the drum 13. The height of the drum 13 is adjusted from both sides to meet the use of cigarette strips of different heights and models, thereby adapting to different production environments.
[0023] Furthermore, symmetrically arranged guide assemblies 3 are provided on both sides of the second conveyor belt 5. The guide assemblies 3 include guide plates 32 and multiple mounting frames 31. The mounting frames 31 are installed on the second conveyor belt 5. The guide plates 32 are arranged obliquely on the second conveyor belt 5 through the mounting frames 31. The guide plates 32 on both sides form a conical structure that gradually becomes smaller from left to right. The guide plates 32 play a guiding role, so that the cigarette strips can be initially straightened, which is beneficial to the subsequent straightening operation and improves the straightening effect of the cigarette strips.
[0024] When the cigarette strip conveying shaping device of the present embodiment is in use, an inclined third conveyor belt 6 is provided, and a straightening component 1 is provided on the second conveyor belt 5. When the inclined and crooked cigarette strip passes through the straightening component 1, the inclined protruding end first collides with the roller 13. Under the push of the second conveyor belt 5, the roller 13 exerts a reaction on the cigarette strip, so that the protruding end is blocked, and the other end continues to move under the transportation of the conveyor belt until one side of the cigarette strip is parallel to the roller 13, thereby playing a straightening role. Then, under the action of the second conveyor belt 5, the cigarette strip pushes the roller 13 to rotate upward, so that the cigarette strip can pass through the second conveyor belt 5 smoothly after being straightened. When the cigarette strip transitions from the second conveyor belt 5 to the third conveyor belt 6, the cigarette strip is easy to fly out. By arranging the third conveyor belt 6 at an angle, an inclined pressure is generated under the action of gravity, so that the cigarette strips can be stably transferred, thereby reducing the occurrence of cigarette strip flying out failures. By setting the screw 9, the height of the roller 13 can be adjusted from both sides to meet the use of cigarette strips of different heights and models, thereby adapting to different production environments. By setting the alarm device 2, when a cigarette strip fails and cannot pass through the straightening device 1, it stays here for a process time and transmits a signal to the PLC controller 22. The PLC controller 22 controls the alarm 21 to sound an alarm, thereby reminding the staff to handle it. This shaping device can automatically straighten the cigarette strips, thereby ensuring the smooth progress of subsequent packaging operations, reducing the occurrence of failures and saving labor costs. The utility model is a shaping device for conveying cigarette strips, which can automatically straighten tilted cigarette strips, reduce the labor intensity of employees, and improve production efficiency. It is easy to use and highly practical.
[0025] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the structure of the present invention, which will not affect the effect of the implementation of the present invention and the practicality of the patent.
