Specific embodiments

[0022] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present utility model clearer and more understandable, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0023] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, a rain-proof cigarette distribution cart includes a cart body 1. A storage box 2 is fixedly connected to the upper end surface of the cart body 1. The upper end of the storage box 2 is inclined. A drainage eaves 5 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the outer wall of the storage box 2. A drainage pipe 19 is fixedly connected to a corner at the lower end of the drainage eaves 5. A guiding structure for storing cigarettes is arranged inside the storage box 2. The guiding structure includes two guiding blocks 10. Both ends of the two guiding blocks 10 penetrate through the storage box 2 and are slidably connected to the storage box 2. A cover sleeve 7 is sleeved on the upper ends of the two guiding blocks 10. The guiding blocks 10 are in a Z shape inside the storage box 2 and are inclined towards the drainage pipe 19. Guiding grooves 21 are formed on the opposite surfaces of the two guiding blocks 10. The two guiding grooves 21 are used for guiding cigarettes. A control structure is arranged at the lower end of one side end surface of the storage box 2. The control structure is used for controlling the automatic discharging of cigarettes;

[0024] The storage box 2 on the top of the cart body 1 adopts an inclined design, and the drainage eaves 5 and the drainage pipe 19 on the outer wall are configured to effectively prevent rainwater from intruding and ensure the dry storage of cigarettes under adverse weather conditions. A Z-shaped guiding structure is introduced inside the storage box 2, which is composed of two slidingly connected guiding blocks 10, and its inclination angle is cleverly set to the side of the drainage pipe 19. Combined with the design of the cover sleeve 7 at the upper end, it not only ensures the stable storage of cigarettes, but also realizes the automatic guidance and smooth discharge of cigarettes. What is more important is that the guide groove 21 design on the guide block 10 enables the cigarettes to be arranged in order according to the preset path, and when necessary, the cigarettes can be automatically slid down through the operation of the control structure, which greatly simplifies the cigarette picking process, improves the delivery efficiency, and solves the cumbersome problem of manual cigarette picking in traditional delivery. In addition, the spacing between the two guide blocks 10 can be adjusted by rotating the bidirectional screw 9, so that it can be used for cigarettes of different lengths.

[0025] Further, such as Figure 1 As shown, the upper end of the storage box 2 is bolted with a box cover 6, and the box cover 6 is made of a transparent resin material;

[0026] The box cover 6 is connected to the storage box 2 by bolts to facilitate its disassembly. At the same time, it is made of transparent resin material so that the box cover 6 has the same transparency as glass, which is convenient for personnel to check the internal cigarette conditions during use so as to deal with them in time.

[0027] Further, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, one side of the upper and lower ends of the guide block 10 is fixedly connected to the sleeve plate 11, and the other side of the upper and lower ends of the guide block 10 is fixedly connected to the slide plate 20, the slide plate 20 and the sleeve plate 11 are respectively located at the two ends of the adjacent sides of the two guide blocks 10, and the slide plate 20 is slidably connected to the sleeve plate 11, and the middle parts of the two guide blocks 10 are fixedly connected to the transmission plate 8, and the middle parts of the two transmission plates 8 are transmission-connected with a two-way screw rod 9, and both ends of the two-way screw rod 9 are engaged and rotatably connected with the storage box 2, and one end of the two-way screw rod 9 passes through the storage box 2 and is fixedly connected with the knob 3, and the guide block 10 is fixedly connected with the slider 12 at the two outer wall corners inside the storage box 2, and the inner walls on both sides of the storage box 2 are provided with a slide groove 13, and the slider 12 is slidably connected inside the slide groove 13;

[0028] The core of the interior of the storage box 2 lies in its Z-shaped guiding structure, which consists of two guiding blocks 10 connected by sliding joints. One end of each guiding block 10 is connected to the other guiding block 10 through the combination of a sleeve plate 11 and a sliding plate 20, achieving a flexible sliding connection. When it is necessary to adjust the distance between the two guiding blocks 10 to accommodate cigarettes of different lengths, the user only needs to rotate the knob 3. This action will drive the rotation of the bidirectional lead screw 9. Since the bidirectional lead screw 9 is connected to the middle parts of the two transmission plates 8, the rotation of the lead screw will cause the two transmission plates 8 and the guiding blocks 10 fixed thereto to move towards or away from each other, thereby achieving precise adjustment of the distance. The guiding blocks 10 are equipped with sliders 12 at the outer wall corners inside the storage box 2, and these sliders 12 fit tightly with the sliding grooves 13 on both inner walls of the storage box 2, ensuring the stability and smoothness of the guiding blocks 10 during movement.

[0029] Furthermore, as Figure 5 shown, the control structure includes a fixing plate 4 fixedly connected to the lower end of one side end face of the storage box 2. Both sides of the middle part of the fixing plate 4 are slidably connected with inserting rods 16. The upper ends of the two inserting rods 16 are fixedly connected with a lifting plate 15. The upper end of the lifting plate 15 is fixedly connected with a grip 14. The lower end face of the lifting plate 15 is fixedly connected with a plurality of telescopic springs 17 at equal intervals. The lower ends of the plurality of telescopic springs 17 are all fixedly connected with the fixing plate 4. An opening groove 18 adapted to the inserting rods 16 is provided at the upper ends of the lower sliding plate 20 and the sleeve plate 11. The inserting rods 16 pass through the sliding plate 20 and the sleeve plate 11 through the opening groove 18 and are slidably connected with both of them;

[0030] The fixing plate 4 is firmly fixed to the lower end of one side end face of the storage box 2 and serves as the support foundation for the entire control structure. Inserting rods 16 with sliding connections are designed on both sides of the middle part of the fixing plate 4. These inserting rods 16 are key components of the control structure and are responsible for establishing or releasing the limiting relationship of the cigarettes between the sliding plate 20 and the sleeve plate 11. The lifting plate 15 is provided for the user to operate through the grip 14 fixed to its upper end. It is located above the fixing plate 4 and is connected to the fixing plate 4 through a plurality of telescopic springs 17 at equal intervals. These telescopic springs 17 provide a downward pulling force for the lifting plate 15, enabling the inserting rods 16 to maintain the state inside the opening groove 18 when not subjected to external forces. When it is necessary to take out the cigarettes, the user can hold the grip 14 and pull upward. This action will drive the lifting plate 15 and the inserting rods 16 fixed thereto to rise together. As the inserting rods 16 rise, they will be withdrawn from the opening grooves 18 opened in the middle of the sliding plate 20 and the sleeve plate 11, and the cigarettes will start to slide down along the guiding groove 21 to the outside of the device, thereby realizing the automatic discharging work without manual taking of the cigarettes. After the taking work is completed, the user only needs to release the grip 14. Under the elastic force of the telescopic springs 17, the lifting plate 15 and the inserting rods 16 will automatically return to their original positions and re-insert into the opening grooves 18 to complete the limiting work of the remaining cigarettes inside.
