It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only for the purpose of illustrating and explaining the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0027] Embodiment: As Figures 1-4As shown in the figure, a flexible guiding device for piece cigarette sorting of the present utility model includes a base 1. A conveyor belt 2 is provided on the outer surface of the base 1. An installation mechanism 3 is provided at the top of the base 1. A limiting mechanism 4 is provided on the outer surface of the installation mechanism 3. The limiting mechanism 4 is arranged on the outer surface of the base 1. A guiding mechanism 5 is provided on the outer surface of the conveyor belt 2;

[0028] The installation mechanism 3 includes:

[0029] Two fixing blocks 31. The bottoms of the two fixing blocks 31 are both fixed to the top of the base 1. Connecting columns 32 are sleeved on the inner walls of the two fixing blocks 31. Arc-shaped plates 33 are fixed to one side of the two connecting columns 32. Limiting plates 34 are fixed to the bottoms of the two arc-shaped plates 33.

[0030] As shown in the attached Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the limiting mechanism 4 includes:

[0031] Four support plates 41. One side of the four support plates 41 is adhesively connected to the outer surface of the fixing block 31. Screws 42 are threaded on the inner walls of the four support plates 41. Rubber plates 43 are fixed to one end of the four screws 42. One side of the four rubber plates 43 is adhesively connected to the outer surface of the connecting column 32. Concave plates 44 are fixed to the outer walls of the four support plates 41. The bottoms of the four concave plates 44 are adhesively connected to the top of the base 1. Limiting blocks 45 are fixed to one side of the four support plates 41. Limiting grooves 46 are opened on both sides of the two fixing blocks 31. The inner walls of the four limiting grooves 46 are matched with the outer walls of the limiting blocks 45. The cross-sectional area sizes of the outer walls of the four limiting blocks 45 are all matched with the cross-sectional area sizes of the inner walls of the limiting grooves 46, which is convenient for strengthening the limit of the moving position of the connecting column 32 in the inner wall of the fixing block 31, and prompting the limiting plate 34 to better correct and limit the two sides of the piece cigarette.

[0032] As shown in the attached Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the guiding mechanism 5 includes:

[0033] Two guiding plates 51. The bottoms of the two guiding plates 51 are both slid on the outer surface of the conveyor belt 2. Slide plates 52 are fixed to the outer surfaces of the two guiding plates 51. Cylinders 53 are slid on the outer walls of the two slide plates 52. Support columns 54 are fixed to the tops of the two cylinders 53. Fixing plates 55 are fixed to the tops of the two support columns 54. The bottoms of the two fixing plates 55 are both fixed to the top of the base 1. Ring plates 56 are fixed to the tops of the two guiding plates 51. The inner walls of the two ring plates 56 are rotated with the outer walls of the support columns 54, which is convenient for better correcting the cigarette posture of the piece cigarettes on the conveyor belt 2 and is beneficial for use.

[0034] Working principle: Place the cigarette cartons on the conveyor belt 2 so that both sides of the cigarette cartons touch the guide plates 51, thereby driving the guide plates 51 to slide on the outer surface of the conveyor belt 2, causing the outer surface of the sliding plate 52 to slide on the outer wall of the cylinder 53. At the same time, the inner wall of the ring plate 56 rotates with the outer wall of the support column 54, and then the guiding adjustment is carried out according to the width dimension of the cigarette cartons. The connecting column 32 is sleeved inside the fixed block 31, thereby driving the limiting plate 34 to move back and forth above the conveyor belt 2, so that the staff can adjust according to the width of the expansion of the guide plate 51 by the cigarette cartons, making the outer surface of the limiting plate 34 contact the outer wall of the cigarette cartons, ensuring the stable movement of the cigarette cartons on the outer surface of the conveyor belt 2. The outer wall of the screw rod 42 is threaded with the inner wall of the support plate 41 until the rubber plate 43 is adhesively connected to the outer surface of the connecting column 32. Therefore, the device can better guide the sorting of cigarette cartons, which is beneficial to the normal use of the device.
