[0014] Reference numerals: 1, modular chain plate; 2, groove; 3, torsion handle; 4, mounting arm, 401, swivel joint part, 402, mounting part; 5, hook; 6, cross bar. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0015] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model.

[0016] As Figure 1 shown, the present utility model provides a cigarette posture correction device for a cigarette belt conveyor, which can correct the angle of the inclined cigarettes on the conveyor belt. The cigarette posture correction device includes a modular chain plate 1 for correcting the cigarette posture, a cross bar 6 for fixing the position of the modular chain plate 1, and two mounting arms 4. The cross bar 6 and the two mounting arms 4 enable a partial plate body of the modular chain plate 1 to be located on the belt conveying path of the cigarette and be in parallel contact with the belt of the belt conveyor. When the conveyed cigarette moves to the straight part of the modular chain plate 1, the inclined cigarette can be straightened due to the resistance of the modular chain plate 1.

[0017] In the present utility model, two mounting arms 4 are sequentially arranged at both ends of the cross bar 6 and can be connected to the side edges on both sides of the conveyor, so that the cross bar 6 is fixed above the conveyor belt and is parallel to the conveyor belt. The purpose of arranging the cross bar 6 is to fix the position of the modular chain plate 1. One end face of the modular chain plate 1 is connected to the circumferential side of the cross bar 6, and the end of the modular chain plate 1 away from the cross bar 6 is located on the conveying path of the cigarette cartons and contacts the conveyor belt. Due to the parallel arrangement of the cross bar 6, the end of the modular chain plate 1 located on the conveyor belt also remains a straight line. When the cigarette cartons conveyed on the conveyor belt pass through the modular chain plate 1 and contact it, if the cigarette cartons are in an inclined state, when they are sent to the modular chain plate, one end of them contacts the modular chain plate first. Due to the resistance of the modular chain plate, the movement of this end is blocked, and the conveying power of the conveyor will cause the other end of the cigarette cartons to move until one side surface of the cigarette cartons is completely in contact with the modular chain plate, thereby changing the posture of the cigarette cartons. When one side surface of the cigarette cartons is completely in contact, the cigarette cartons cannot move. At this time, the conveying power of the conveyor will cause the cigarette cartons to lift the modular chain plate and pass through under the modular chain plate, thus completing the correction of the posture of the cigarette cartons to improve the sorting and packaging efficiency of the cigarette cartons.

[0018] In this embodiment, there are two ways to fix the modular chain plate 1 on the cross bar 6. One way is that at one end face of the modular chain plate 1, through a plurality of hooks 5 arranged side by side, the hooks 5 are hung on the cross bar 6. The other way is to directly bond the end face of the modular chain plate 1 to the circumference of the cross bar 6.

[0019] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the fixing of the mounting arms 4 on belt conveyors of different specifications, two sections of opposite threads are sequentially provided at both ends of the cross bar 6. The two mounting arms 4 are sequentially screwed on the threaded rod body of the cross bar 6 and can correspond to the side plates on both sides of the conveyor one by one. A groove 2 for the side plates of the conveyor to enter is opened on the lower end face of the mounting arm 4. The mounting arm 4 is seated on the side plates on both sides of the conveyor through the groove 2, and the side plates are restricted from rotating. By twisting the cross bar 6 to rotate, the relative movement or the movement away from each other of the two mounting arms 4 can be controlled. Thus, the distance between the two mounting arms 4 is changed, so that the inner side of the groove 2 is in close contact with the side plates on both sides of the conveyor, and the mounting arm 4 is restricted by the fastening friction force to limit the position of the cross bar 6.

[0020] In the present utility model, the mounting arm 4 includes a screwing part 401 screwed on the cross bar 6 and a mounting part 402 arranged on the lower end face of the screwing part 401. The groove 2 is opened on the lower end face of the mounting part 402, and the groove width of the groove 2 is 3 - 10 cm.

[0021] In this embodiment, friction members are provided on the side walls of the groove 2 in contact with the conveyor. The friction members can be elastic glue embedded in the side walls of the groove 2. They can also be friction particles arranged on the side walls of the groove 2. Preferably, the elastic glue can not only increase the friction force but also avoid squeezing and deforming the side plates on both sides of the conveyor.

[0022] In the present utility model, torsion handles 3 are provided at both ends of the cross bar 6. The cross bar 6 can be conveniently rotated by twisting the torsion handles 3.

[0023] The specific embodiments of the present utility model have been described above. It should be understood that the present utility model is not limited to the above specific embodiments, and those skilled in the art can make various deformations or modifications within the scope of the claims, which do not affect the essence of the present utility model.
