[0016] The following describes the preferred embodiments of the present utility model with reference to the drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present utility model, and are not used to limit the present utility model.
[0017] Embodiment: As Figures 1-4As shown in the figure, a cigarette sorting device includes a first conveyor belt 1, and a second conveyor belt 2 and a sorting mechanism 3 are sequentially arranged above the first conveyor belt 1 along its conveying direction. The conveying direction of the second conveyor belt 2 is opposite to that of the first conveyor belt 1.
[0018] Among them, the sorting mechanism 3 includes a first telescopic mechanism 41, a second telescopic mechanism 42, a first top plate 51, a second top plate 52, a connecting rod 6, a spring 7, a retaining frame 8 and a controller. There are two first telescopic mechanisms 41, which are respectively located on both sides of the first conveyor belt 1. The first top plate 51 is located directly above the two first telescopic mechanisms 41, and both ends of the first top plate 51 are connected to the first moving ends of the two first telescopic mechanisms 41. The second top plate 52 is located directly above the first top plate 51, and a contact switch 9 is arranged between the first top plate 51 and the second top plate 52.
[0019] The retaining frame 8 is located between the first top plate 51 and the first conveyor belt 1. The top end of the connecting rod 6 is connected to the bottom of the second top plate 52, and the bottom end passes through the first top plate 51 and is connected to the top of the retaining frame 8. The spring 7 is sleeved on the connecting rod 6 and is located between the first top plate 51 and the retaining frame 8.
[0020] The retaining frame 8 includes a third top plate 81, a back plate 82, a first side plate 83, a second side plate 84, a first bottom plate 85 and a second bottom plate 86. The upper end of the back plate 82 is connected to the third top plate 81, and the two sides of the lower end are respectively connected to the first bottom plate 85 and the second bottom plate 86. The upper end of the first side plate 83 is connected to one side edge of the third top plate 81, the lower end is connected to the first bottom plate 85, and the side edge is connected to one side edge of the back plate 82. The upper end of the second side plate 84 is connected to the other side edge of the third top plate 81, the lower end is connected to the second bottom plate 86, and the side edge is connected to the other side edge of the back plate 82.
[0021] An opening 87 is formed in the lower part of the back plate 82. The opening 87 is located between the first bottom plate 85 and the second bottom plate 86. The width of the opening 87 is smaller than the width of the back plate 82 and slightly larger than the length of a standard cigarette. On both sides of the opening 87, that is, on the first bottom plate 85 and the second bottom plate 86, there is a slope 88 respectively. The two slopes 88 are respectively installed on the first bottom plate 85 and the second bottom plate 86 through columns. The end of the slope 88 far from the second conveyor belt 2 is higher than the end close to the second conveyor belt 2. An installation hole is formed at the position directly above the slope 88 on the back plate 82, and the second telescopic mechanism 42 is installed in the installation hole. The second moving end of the second telescopic mechanism 42 extends towards the second conveyor belt 2. The controller is electrically connected to the first telescopic mechanism 41, the second telescopic mechanism 42 and the contact switch 9 respectively.
[0022] During operation, standard cigarettes and non-standard cigarettes are mixed and conveyed on the first conveyor belt 1. When passing through the sorting mechanism 3, the standard cigarettes can be directly conveyed to the downstream end of the first conveyor belt 1 through the opening 87. However, the non-standard cigarettes with a length greater than that of the standard cigarettes cannot pass through the opening 87 due to their length being greater than the width of the opening 87. Under the action of the first conveyor belt 1, they move to the slope 88. At this time, since the blocking frame 8 is carrying non-standard cigarettes, it moves downward against the force of the spring 7, driving the second top plate 52 to move downward, thereby triggering the contact switch 9 between the first top plate 51 and the second top plate 52. After receiving the signal sent by the contact switch 9, the controller controls the first movable end of the first telescopic mechanism 41 to extend, lifting the blocking frame 8 to the height of the second conveyor belt 2. Subsequently, the controller controls the second movable end of the second telescopic mechanism 42 to extend, pushing the non-standard cigarettes onto the second conveyor belt 2, thus realizing the sorting of standard cigarettes and non-standard cigarettes. Among them, the controller can be configured to first send an instruction to the first telescopic mechanism 41 to make it extend after receiving the signal sent by the contact switch 9, and then send an instruction to the second telescopic mechanism 42 to make it extend after a preset delay. When the second telescopic mechanism 42 extends to the farthest end, the first telescopic mechanism 41 and the second telescopic mechanism 42 can be controlled to retract and return to the initial position. The spring 7 can be configured to make the contact switch 9 as close as possible to the top plate in the balanced state to ensure the sensitivity of the device.
[0023] In addition, a collection box for storage or a conveying device for transferring non-standard cigarettes can be provided at the end of the second conveyor belt 2.
[0024] It should be further noted that the present utility model can only realize the sorting of standard cigarettes and non-standard cigarettes with a length longer than that of the standard cigarettes, and cannot identify non-standard cigarettes with the same length as the standard cigarettes or a length shorter than that of the standard cigarettes.
[0025] Finally, it should be noted that in the description of the present utility model, it should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "vertical", "upper", "lower", "horizontal", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model.
[0026] In the description of the present utility model, it should also be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "set", "installed", "connected", "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0027] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
