[0026] Embodiment:

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , a side-out type cigarette sorting device, including a conveying frame 1, a group of support frames 2 are fixedly connected to the top surface of the conveying frame 1, and a group of sorting plates 3 are fixedly connected to the side of the conveying frame 1. One end of the support frame 2 is fixedly connected to a driving motor 4 near the bottom surface, and a plurality of pairs of clamping rods 5 are clamped on the top surface of the sorting plate 3. A baffle 6 is centered on the opposite surfaces of two clamping rods 5 located at the same horizontal position. The output end of the driving motor 4 is fixedly connected to a lead screw 7, a ball screw slider 8 is sleeved on the outside of the lead screw 7, a push plate 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the ball screw slider 8, and clamping mechanisms 10 are arranged on both sides of the bottom end of the clamping rod 5. One end of the baffle 6 is fixedly connected to a movable shaft 11 on both sides, and a flat scroll spring 12 is fixedly connected to the outside of the movable shaft 11;

[0028] The clamping mechanism 10 includes a clamping block 13, a sliding rod 14 is fixedly connected to the outside of the clamping block 13, a fixed cylinder 15 is sleeved on the outside of the sliding rod 14, and a return spring 16 is arranged on the outside of the connection between the sliding rod 14 and the fixed cylinder 15. In order to facilitate the installation and removal of the clamping rod 5 and facilitate the subsequent maintenance and replacement of the baffle 6, the clamping mechanism 10 is provided.

[0029] Refer to Figure 1, a sensor is fixedly connected to the front end of the bottom surface of the support frame 2. The top of the ball screw slider 8 is slidably connected to the support frame 2. The cigarette cartons are conveyed through the conveying frame 1. When the cigarette cartons pass below the support frame 2, the sensor senses and scans the cigarette cartons. If it is not the corresponding sorting process, they continue to move backward along the conveying frame 1. If it belongs to the corresponding sorting process, the driving motor 4 is started.

[0030] Refer to Figure 2 , the push plate 9 is arranged in a concave shape and is symmetrically arranged with the sorting plate 3. Through the cooperation of the lead screw 7 and the ball screw slider 8, the push plate 9 pushes the cigarette cartons to move towards the corresponding sorting plate 3. And during the movement of the push plate 9, its horizontal position separates and blocks the subsequent cigarette cartons, reducing the situation of cigarette carton confusion.

[0031] Refer to Figure 3 , the movable shaft 11 is located inside the upper end of the clamping rod 5 and is movably connected to the clamping rod 5. One end of the flat spiral spring 12 away from the movable shaft 11 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the clamping rod 5. After the cigarette cartons enter the sorting plate 3, they automatically slide down and contact the baffle 6, squeezing the baffle 6 to tilt to one side. The baffle 6 drives the movable shaft 11 to stretch the flat spiral spring 12. When the cigarette cartons are separated from the baffle 6, under the action of the flat spiral spring 12, the movable shaft 11 drives the baffle 6 to reset.

[0032] Refer to Figure 4 , one end of the clamping block 13 is inclined on both sides and is clamped with the clamping rod 5. The corresponding two clamping rods 5 are symmetrically clamped on both sides of the baffle 6. During the clamping process of the clamping rod 5, the inclined surface of the clamping block 13 is squeezed.

[0033] Refer to Figure 4 , the sliding rod 14 and the fixed cylinder 15 are both located inside the side of the baffle 6. The fixed cylinder 15 is fixedly connected to the baffle 6, and the sliding rod 14 is slidably connected to the baffle 6. The clamping block 13 is stressed and drives the sliding rod 14 to slide towards the fixed cylinder 15, simultaneously compressing the return spring 16.

[0034] Refer to Figure 4 , both ends of the return spring 16 are fixedly connected to the inner surface of the baffle 6 and the clamping block 13 respectively. Until the clamping block 13 is flush with the clamping groove on the side of the clamping rod 5, under the action of the return spring 16, the clamping block 13 resets and is clamped with the clamping rod 5, fixing the position of the clamping rod 5 and the baffle 6. On the contrary, directly pulling the clamping rod 5 outward can perform the removal work of the baffle 6.

[0035] During use: The corresponding two clamping rods 5 are symmetrically clamped on both sides of the baffle 6. During the clamping process of the clamping rod 5, the inclined surface of the clamping block 13 is squeezed. The clamping block 13 is stressed and drives the sliding rod 14 to slide towards the fixed cylinder 15, synchronously compressing the return spring 16 until the clamping block 13 is flush with the clamping groove on the side of the clamping rod 5. Under the action of the return spring 16, the clamping block 13 returns to its position and is clamped with the clamping rod 5, fixing the position of the clamping rod 5 and the baffle 6. Then, the conveying work of the cigarette cartons is carried out through the conveying rack 1. When the cigarette cartons pass under the support rack 2, the cigarette cartons are inductively scanned by the sensor. If it is not the corresponding sorting process, the cigarette cartons continue to move backward on the conveying rack 1. If it belongs to the corresponding sorting process, the driving motor 4 is started. Through the cooperation of the lead screw 7 and the ball slider 8, the push plate 9 pushes the cigarette cartons towards the corresponding sorting plate 3. And during the movement of the push plate 9, its horizontal position separates and blocks the subsequent cigarette cartons, reducing the situation of cigarette carton confusion. After the cigarette cartons enter the sorting plate 3, they automatically slide down and contact the baffle 6, squeezing the baffle 6 to tilt to one side. The baffle 6 drives the movable shaft 11 to stretch the planar volute spring 12. When the cigarette cartons are separated from the baffle 6, under the action of the planar volute spring 12, the movable shaft 11 drives the baffle 6 to return to its original position. Through the cooperation of multiple baffles 6, a buffering effect is achieved, enabling the cigarette cartons to slide smoothly to the bottom of the sorting plate 3, completing the sorting work of the cigarette cartons.
