In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. are used for descriptive purposes only, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0032] See also Figures 1 to 3 It should be noted that the illustrations provided in this embodiment are only used to schematically illustrate the basic concept of the utility model, and the drawings only show the components related to the utility model rather than the number, shape and size of the components in actual implementation. In actual implementation, the type, quantity and proportion of each component may be changed arbitrarily, and the component layout may also be more complicated.

[0033] The utility model provides a sampling cigarette recovery device, such as Figure 1 As shown, the sampling cigarette recovery device includes a fixed frame 10, a top table 11 is provided on the top of the fixed frame 10, a receiving notch is provided on the top table 11, a cigarette supporting bottom plate 20 is provided at the bottom of the receiving notch, and the cigarette supporting bottom plate 20 and the receiving notch on the top table 11 form a cigarette storage slot 110; a recovery box 30 is provided inside the fixed frame 10, and the recovery box 30 is located below the cigarette storage slot 110; a driving source is provided at the bottom of the top table, and the driving source is connected to the cigarette supporting bottom plate 20, and the driving source can drive the cigarette supporting bottom plate 20 to move relative to the top table.

[0034] When the sampling cigarette recovery device of the utility model is in use, the sampling cigarette recovery device is placed on the AGV trolley, and when sampling cigarettes on the cigarette production line of the cigarette making unit, the mechanical arm on the AGV trolley drives the sponge suction cup to suck and sample. If the number of cigarettes sucked by the sponge suction cup does not reach the set number of cigarettes, the sponge suction cup will place the sucked cigarettes in the cigarette storage slot 110 on the sampling cigarette recovery device, and then the driving source drives the cigarette support bottom plate 20 to move relative to the top table 11, that is, the cigarette support bottom plate 20 is evacuated from the bottom of the accommodating notch, and the cigarettes placed in the cigarette storage slot 110 will fall into the recovery below the cigarette storage slot 110. The cigarettes are recycled in the box 30, thereby preventing the cigarettes sucked by the sponge suction cup from being put back into the original cigarette channel on the production line to interfere with the position of the cigarettes and cause material jams; if the sponge suction cup sucks a set number of cigarette samples, the sponge suction cup places the sucked cigarette samples in the cigarette storage slot 110, and then the AGV trolley consigns the sampled cigarette recovery device to the detection equipment for transportation. After arriving at the detection equipment, the sponge suction cup on the AGV trolley sucks out the cigarette samples in the cigarette storage slot 110 and then places them in the detection equipment for detection, thereby avoiding the situation in the prior art where the sponge suction cup sucks the cigarettes for transportation, and the cigarettes are prone to falling during the transportation process. In summary, the sampling cigarette recovery device of the utility model solves the problem in the prior art that the sponge suction cup puts the sucked cigarettes back into the original cigarette channel when the sampling is insufficient, which may cause material jams, and the problem that the AGV trolley is prone to cigarette falling during the transportation of cigarettes, which can greatly improve the efficiency of cigarette sampling and reduce labor intensity.

[0035] Preferably, Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, the driving source is an electric push rod 40, and the cigarette support bottom plate 20 is connected to the push rod of the electric push rod 40. The electric push rod has a simple structure and low cost. When the sponge suction cup places the insufficiently sampled cigarettes in the cigarette storage slot 110, the electric push rod 40 drives the cigarette support bottom plate 20 to move relative to the top table 11, that is, the cigarette support bottom plate 20 is pulled away from the bottom of the receiving notch, and the cigarettes in the cigarette storage slot 110 directly fall into the recycling box 30 below.

[0036] Specifically, in this embodiment, the electric push rod 40 is fixedly disposed at the bottom of the top table 11 through a mounting frame 41 .

[0037] Further, in order to improve the movement stability of the cigarette support bottom plate 20, preferably, as Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the mounting frame 41 is further provided with a guide rail 201 extending along the movement direction of the smoke supporting bottom plate 20, and the smoke supporting bottom plate 20 is slidably matched with the guide rail 201. When the electric push rod 40 drives the smoke supporting bottom plate 20 to move, the guide rail can also guide the smoke supporting bottom plate 20, thereby improving the movement stability of the smoke supporting bottom plate 20.

[0038] Further, in order to be able to timely detect whether the recovery box 30 is full so as to clean it in time, it is preferred that Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a full material sensor is further provided on the fixed frame 10, and the full material sensor includes an infrared transmitter 51 and an infrared receiver 52, wherein the infrared transmitter 51 is provided on one side of the fixed frame 10, and the infrared receiver 52 is provided on the other side of the fixed frame 10, that is, the infrared transmitter 51 and the infrared receiver 52 are provided opposite to each other, and the infrared receiver 52 is used to receive the infrared signal transmitted by the infrared transmitter 51. Specifically, the fixed frame is U-shaped, and the infrared transmitter 51 and the infrared receiver 52 are respectively provided on the left and right side panels of the U-shaped fixed frame. When in use, the infrared transmitter 51 and the infrared receiver 52 can be connected to an external alarm system. Under normal conditions, that is, when the recycling box 30 is not full, the infrared rays emitted by the infrared transmitter 51 are received by the infrared receiver 52. When the recycling box 30 is full of cigarettes, the cigarettes will block the infrared rays emitted by the infrared transmitter 51. At this time, the infrared receiver 52 cannot receive the infrared signal, and the alarm system will be triggered to send an alarm signal to notify the operator to clean the recycling box in time.

[0039] Further, in order to facilitate the removal of the recycling box 30 from the interior of the fixed frame 10 to clean out the recycled cigarettes in the recycling box 30, preferably, Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, a sliding drawer 301 is further provided inside the fixed frame 10, and the sliding drawer 301 is slidably arranged inside the fixed frame 10 through a slide rail 3011, and the recycling box 30 is arranged inside the sliding drawer 301. When the recycling box 30 needs to be cleaned, the sliding drawer 301 is pulled, and the sliding drawer 301 drives the recycling box 30 to be pulled out from the fixed frame 10, and then the recycling box 30 can be moved out of the sliding drawer 301, and then the cigarettes inside can be poured out. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient.

[0040] Specifically, Figure 3 As shown, a handle 3012 is also provided on the sliding box 301 , and the sliding drawer 301 can be conveniently drawn out of the fixed frame 10 through the provision of the handle 3012 .

[0041] Furthermore, a position sensor is also provided on the fixed frame 10, through which it is detected whether the recycling box 30 is in place, that is, whether it reaches the designated position below the cigarette storage slot 110. If the recycling box 30 does not reach the designated position, the position sensor will trigger the external control system to send an alarm signal to notify the operator to conduct inspection and adjustment.

[0042] In summary, the sampling cigarette recovery device of the utility model solves the problem of the existing technology that the sponge suction cup will put the sucked cigarette back into the original cigarette channel when the sampling is insufficient, which may cause material jamming, and the problem that the AGV trolley is prone to cigarette drop during the transportation of cigarettes. It can greatly improve the efficiency of cigarette sampling, reduce labor intensity, and has a simple structure and is easy to use. Therefore, the utility model effectively overcomes various shortcomings in the existing technology and has a high industrial utilization value.
