Specific embodiments

[0024] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a cigarette collection and conveying device 100 provided by an embodiment of the present invention specifically may include, for example: a control mechanism, a conveyor belt 10, and a plurality of baffles 20.

[0026] The control mechanism may be, for example, a conveying motor. The conveyor belt 10 is electrically connected to the control mechanism, and the control mechanism can control the conveyor belt to move along the transmission direction. The conveyor belt 10 may be, for example, an endless conveyor belt or may be, for example, a strip conveyor belt, which can be set according to actual needs. A plurality of baffles 20 are arranged at intervals on the outer surface of the conveyor belt 10, and a cigarette accommodating groove 30 is formed between any two adjacent baffles 20. The intervals between any two adjacent baffles 20 among the plurality of baffles 20 may be, for example, all the same, so that the spaces of the plurality of cigarette accommodating grooves 30 are also the same. By setting the plurality of intervals to be the same, the unity of cigarette collection can be improved, and thus the cigarette collection efficiency can be improved.

[0027] Refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4, each baffle 20 has a first side 21 and a second side 22 that are oppositely arranged in the conveying direction, that is, the baffle 20 is provided with a first side 21 and a second side 22 in the length direction of the conveyor belt 10, the first side 21 and the second side 22 are oppositely arranged, and the top ends 23 of the first side 21 and the second side 22 are connected to each other and form an included angle A away from the conveyor belt 10, and the range of the included angle A is 10° to 20°. By setting the included angle A between the first side 21 and the second side 22 of the baffle 20 to 10° to 20°, the first side 21 and the second side 22 can be inclined. If the range of the included angle A is too large, the speed at which the cigarette 50 enters the cigarette accommodating groove 30 will be slow, affecting the collection efficiency. If the range of the included angle A is too small, the cigarette 50 will directly fall into the cigarette accommodating groove 30, there will be a risk of damage to the cigarette 50, and it will also affect the palletizing of the cigarette 50.

[0028] The cigarette collection and conveying device 100 provided in this embodiment includes a control mechanism, a conveyor belt 10, and a plurality of baffles 20. By arranging the plurality of baffles 20 at intervals on the outer surface of the conveyor belt 10, a cigarette accommodating groove 30 is formed, and the top ends 23 of the first side 21 and the second side 22 of the baffle 20 are connected to form an included angle A. The angle range of the included angle A is set to 10° to 20°, so that the cigarette 50 can slide down and be palletized in sequence through the baffle 20, and be conveyed through the conveyor belt 10, and there will be no situation of cigarette jamming or cigarette sticking, improving the efficiency and quality of cigarette collection.

[0029] In an implementation manner of this embodiment, the first side 21 and the second side 22 are inclined surfaces, the inclination directions of the first side 21 and the second side 22 are opposite, and the inclination angles are the same. The first side 21 can be inclined, for example, in the direction from the top end 23 to the surface of the conveyor belt 10 away from the second side 22, and the second side 22 can be inclined, for example, in the direction from the top end 23 to the surface of the conveyor belt 10 away from the first side 21. By setting the inclination directions of the first side 21 and the second side 22 to be opposite and the inclination angles of the first side 21 and the second side 22 to be the same, the cigarette 50 can be collected when the conveyor belt 10 is conveyed forward or backward. In this embodiment, the baffle 20 can be, for example, a V-shaped structure, a wedge-shaped structure, etc. The cross-section of the baffle 20 along the conveying direction can be, for example, an isosceles triangle, and the cigarette accommodating groove 30 formed between the two baffles 20 can be, for example, a U-shaped structure or an inverted trapezoidal structure, so as to improve the efficiency and quality of cigarette 50 collection and conveying.

[0030] See again Figure 3 and Figure 4, the top end 23 of the baffle 20 away from the conveyor belt 10 is a rounded corner structure, which can prevent the cigarette rod 50 from being cut during the collection process of the cigarette rod 50, and improve the collection quality of the cigarette rod 50. In actual processing, for example, a chamfering process can be performed on the top end 23 of the baffle 20. Of course, this embodiment is not limited thereto.

[0031] Further, the extending direction of the baffle 20 can be, for example, perpendicular to the transmission direction of the conveyor belt 10, that is, the baffle 20 extends along the width direction of the conveyor belt 10, so that the cigarette rod 50 in the cigarette rod receiving groove 30 can be placed along the width direction of the conveyor belt 10, for example. In an implementation manner of this embodiment, the width of the baffle 20 can be, for example, less than or equal to the width of the conveyor belt 10. For example, the width of the baffle 20 can be equal to the width of the conveyor belt 10, the width of the baffle 20 can also be less than the width of the conveyor belt 10, and the width of the baffle 20 can be, for example, two-thirds of the width of the conveyor belt 10. By such a setting, it can be avoided that when the width of the baffle 20 is greater than the width of the conveyor belt 10, the cigarette rod 50 may get stuck in the gap of the conveyor belt 10, thereby affecting the operation of the conveyor belt 10 and bringing a greater risk to the collection of the cigarette rod 50.

[0032] See again Figure 2 and Figure 3 , a plurality of first mounting holes 11 can be, for example, spaced on the conveyor belt 10, and a second mounting hole 24 is provided at one end of the baffle 20 connecting the conveyor belt 10. The cigarette rod collection and conveying device 100 can also include a plurality of fasteners 40, and the fasteners 40 sequentially pass through the first mounting holes 11 and the second mounting holes 24 to fixedly connect the baffle 20 to the conveyor belt 10. In this embodiment, the first mounting hole 11 can be, for example, a through hole, the second mounting hole 24 can be, for example, a threaded hole, and the fastener 40 can be, for example, a screw. Of course, this embodiment is not limited thereto. The baffle 20 can also be fixedly connected to the conveyor belt 10 by means of riveting, pasting, welding, etc.

[0033] See Figure 3 and Figure 5, the first side 21 of the baffle 20 may, for example, have two side edges arranged along the width direction of the conveyor belt 10, and anti-folding portions 211 are provided at two edges of the first side 21 close to the side edges. In an implementation manner of this embodiment, the anti-folding portion 211 may, for example, be an arc surface structure, and the arc surface structure is a circular arc. Further, the radius range of the circular arc may, for example, be 100 to 200 millimeters, specifically, for example, 100 millimeters, 150 millimeters, 200 millimeters. Of course, this embodiment is not limited thereto. In other implementation manners of this embodiment, the anti-folding portion 211 may also, for example, be made of a soft material, such as silica gel, cotton cloth, sponge, etc. By providing the anti-folding portions 211 at two edges of the first side 21 close to the side edges, it is possible to prevent the cigarette 50 from being broken when it encounters an obstacle 60 during movement when the cigarette 50 extends beyond the two side edges of the baffle 20. If the two side edges of the first side 21 of the baffle 20 along the transmission direction are sharp corners or have a small chamfer, when the cigarette 50 extends beyond the two side edges of the baffle 20 and encounters an obstacle 60 during movement, a cutting effect will be formed, directly breaking or cutting off the cigarette 50. By designing the anti-folding portion 211, when the cigarette 50 is blocked and about to be broken, the cigarette 50 can perform a certain degree of flexible bending along the large arc surface of the anti-folding portion 211, greatly reducing the possibility of the cigarette being directly broken.

[0034] Further, the second side 22 of the baffle 20 may, for example, have two side edges arranged along the width direction of the conveyor belt 10, and anti-folding portions 211 are provided at two edges of the second side 22 close to the side edges. In an implementation manner of this embodiment, the anti-folding portion 211 may, for example, be an arc surface structure, and the arc surface structure is a circular arc. Further, the radius range of the circular arc may, for example, be 100 to 200 millimeters, specifically, for example, 100 millimeters, 150 millimeters, 200 millimeters. Of course, this embodiment is not limited thereto. In other implementation manners of this embodiment, the anti-folding portion 211 may also, for example, be made of a soft material, such as silica gel, cotton cloth, sponge, etc. By providing the anti-folding portions 211 on both the first side 21 and the second side 22, it is possible to avoid the breakage of the cigarette 50 during the bidirectional transmission of the conveyor belt 10.
