[0023] The specific implementation of the utility model is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0024] As attached Figure 1-3 As shown, this embodiment provides a cigar supply device suitable for a REX packaging machine, including a storage unit, a material dropping unit, a conveying unit, and a control box 3. The conveying unit is arranged below the storage unit, the material dropping unit is arranged on the left side of the conveying unit, and the control box 3 is arranged on the left side of the storage unit. The storage unit is a hopper body 1, and the material dropping unit includes a material distribution bin 5 and a material distribution tray 4. The material distribution bin 5 is arranged between the material distribution tray 4 and the conveying unit. The conveying unit is a conveyor 6, and a limit baffle 18 and a material level detection sensor 2 are also arranged in the material distribution bin 5. The material level detection sensor 2 is installed at the top of the material distribution bin 5, and the limit baffle 18 is arranged at the output end of the conveying unit.

[0025] After starting the device, the cigars 17 stored in the hopper body 1 are sent to the distribution bin 5 by the conveyor 6, and the limit baffle 18 is propped up by the cigarettes 17 and moved up. When the limit baffle 18 moves up to the action range of the material level detection sensor 2, the sensor is triggered and the conveyor 6 stops running. The cigarettes 17 in the distribution bin 5 are continuously taken out one by one by the distribution tray 4 and released on the raw material hopper conveyor chain carrier. The specifications and linear speed of the chain 14 of the distribution tray 4 are consistent with the specifications and linear speed of the hopper conveyor chain to ensure that the cigarettes 17 conveyed by the distribution tray 4 can be correctly placed on the V-shaped carrier of the conveyor chain. As the cigarettes 17 in the distribution bin 5 are taken away and the number decreases, the limit baffle 18 moves down beyond the action range of the material level detection sensor 2, and the conveyor 6 starts again to transport the cigarettes 17 into the distribution bin 5. In this way, the supply of cigar sticks 17 to the REX packaging machine is realized, and the cigar sticks 17 are accurately placed on the V-shaped carrier of the conveyor chain, which reduces the situation where the cigar sticks 17 are skewed or multiple cigars are filled on a V-shaped carrier, causing equipment shutdown, and effectively ensures the operating efficiency of the equipment.

[0026] As a preferred embodiment of the utility model, the hopper body 1 is composed of an upper hopper cover plate 8, a lower hopper cover plate 7 and a hopper, and the hopper includes a back plate and a side plate.

[0027] As a preferred embodiment of the utility model, the material distribution plate 4 is composed of a sprocket 16, a chain 14, a material distribution motor 10, a chain material distribution trough 15, an alignment bevel block 11, a transparent baffle 12, and an arc-shaped baffle 13. The chain material distribution trough 15 is fixedly arranged on the chain 14, and the material distribution and transportation of cigarettes are realized by the rotation of the sprocket 16. The transparent baffle 12 is further fixed to the material distribution plate 4 through the arc-shaped baffle 13, and the alignment bevel block 11 is arranged at the lower left of the material distribution plate 4. The chain 14 adopts a special 08B flange chain; the sprocket 16 adopts a single-row 08B-20 sprocket. The chain material distribution trough 15 is determined according to the maximum diameter of handmade cigars, and the net width of the inner cavity is 12mm, which can take into account cigarettes of large and small diameters. The chain material distribution trough 15 can clamp the cigarette 17 and release it to the original equipment conveying chain carrier through the rotation of the sprocket 16. The setting of the transparent baffle 12 can prevent the cigar from falling horizontally. The arc-shaped baffle 13 can better fix the transparent baffle 12 to prevent the distribution tray 4 from deforming during use. The alignment bevel 11 can further align the cigars before they fall onto the original equipment cigarette conveyor chain to prevent the cigars from being skewed during the filling process.

[0028] As a preferred embodiment of the utility model, the conveyor 6 is composed of a bracket and a roller assembly 20, a conveyor belt 19, a synchronous belt 21, a synchronous pulley, and a conveyor motor 9.
