[0036] The embodiments of the present utility model are described in detail below. The examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, where the same or similar reference numerals represent the same or similar elements or elements with the same or similar functions from beginning to end. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present utility model and should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model.

[0037] In order to meet the conveyance of boxes of different sizes, shorten the production cycle of cigarette products, and reduce the design cost of cigarette production lines, the present embodiment provides a flexible conveyor with adjustable size. The following will be combined with Figures 1 to 4 to describe the specific content of this embodiment in detail. It should be noted that the first direction mentioned in this embodiment is the Figure 1 X direction in Figure 1 , and the second direction mentioned in this embodiment is the

[0038] Y direction in Figures 1 to 3 .

[0039] Briefly, for the flexible conveyor with adjustable size provided by the present utility model, a plurality of fixing plates 4 are arranged on the base 1 in parallel and at intervals, and the roller assembly 5 is rotatably arranged on the fixing plates 4. The box 100 can be conveyed in the first direction by the rotation of the roller assembly 5. By slidably arranging the two guide frame assemblies 3 on the base 1, the guide frame assemblies 3 can be moved in the second direction by the driving mechanism 2. The driving mechanism 2 is used to adjust the distance between the two guide frame assemblies 3, so as to meet the conveyance of boxes 100 of different sizes, without building transmission mechanisms of different sizes for boxes 100 of different sizes, shortening the production cycle of cigarette products, and reducing the design cost of cigarette production lines. By installing a plurality of rubber rollers 37 on the guide frame assemblies 3, direct contact between the guide frame assemblies 3 and the box 100 can be avoided, and the box 100 and the rubber rollers 37 perform rolling friction, which helps to reduce the wear of the box 100.

[0040] Furthermore, as Figures 2 to 4 shown, the guide frame assembly 3 includes a first frame body 31, a support column 32, and a second frame body 33. The first frame body 31 and the second frame body 33 are arranged in parallel and at intervals. A plurality of rubber rollers 37 are rotatably arranged on the first frame body 31. The support column 32 is located between the first frame body 31 and the second frame body 33. The second frame body 33 is slidably connected to the base 1. By adding a plurality of support columns 32 between the first frame body 31 and the second frame body 33, it helps to improve the overall structural strength of the guide frame assembly 3.

[0041] Furthermore, a slider 34 is provided on a side of the second frame 33 away from the support column 32. The base 1 is provided with a guide rail 11 extending in the second direction, and the slider 34 is slidably connected to the guide rail 11. Four guide rails 11 are provided on the base 1, and two sliders 34 are mounted on the bottom of each guide frame assembly 3. The sliders 34 cooperate with the guide rails 11 to guide the second frame 33 to move relative to the guide rails 11 only in the second direction.

[0042] Furthermore, the base 1 is provided with a guide groove 12 extending in the second direction, and a guide wheel 35 is rotatably provided at the end of the second frame body 33. The guide wheel 35 can roll along the guide groove 12. By making the guide wheel 35 roll in the guide groove 12, the entire guide frame assembly 3 can be guided to move in the second direction and can also bear part of the weight of the guide frame assembly 3.

[0043] Furthermore, a baffle 36 is provided at the end of the second frame 33, and a slot-shaped photoelectric switch 13 is provided at the outer edge of the base 1. The baffle 36 can shield the slot-shaped photoelectric switch 13. By adding the baffle 36 and the slot-shaped photoelectric switch 13, the guide frame assembly 3 with the baffle 36 stops moving when it reaches the position of the slot-shaped photoelectric switch 13. This not only limits the maximum distance between the two guide frame assemblies 3, but also prevents the guide frame assemblies 3 from sliding off the base 1, thereby improving the safety of the device.

[0044] Furthermore, the drive mechanism 2 includes a first housing 21, a second housing 22, and a transmission belt 23. The first housing 21 and the second housing 22 are spaced apart on the base 1 along the second direction. A driving pulley 24 is rotatably disposed within the first housing 21, and a driven pulley 25 is rotatably disposed within the second housing 22. The transmission belt 23 is wound around the driving pulley 24 and the driven pulley 25. One of the two guide frame assemblies 3 is connected to the upper section of the transmission belt 23 via a connecting plate 27, and the other of the two guide frame assemblies 3 is connected to the lower section of the transmission belt 23. Using a belt drive, the movement of the transmission belt 23 can cause the two guide frame assemblies 3 to simultaneously move closer to each other to reduce the spacing, or simultaneously move away from each other to increase the spacing.

[0045] Optionally, a sidewall of the fixed plate 4 is provided with an escape groove 41, and the transmission belt 23 is passed through the escape groove 41. By adding the escape groove 41, it is convenient for the transmission belt 23 to pass through the fixed plate 4, avoiding structural interference.

[0046] Furthermore, the driving mechanism 2 further includes a motor 26, and the output shaft of the motor 26 is coaxially connected to the driving pulley 24. By adding the motor 26, the driving pulley 24 can be driven to rotate the driven pulley 25 through the transmission belt 23. Optionally, tooth rings are added to the outer circles of the driving pulley 24 and the driven pulley 25, and transmission teeth are provided on the inner circle of the transmission belt 23. The power is transmitted through the engagement of the transmission teeth and the tooth rings, preventing the transmission belt 23 from slipping.

[0047] Further, a connecting hole 14 is provided on the base 1, and a strip-shaped hole 221 is provided at the bottom of the second housing 22. The strip-shaped hole 221 extends along the second direction. The fastener 28 passes through the strip-shaped hole 221 and is connected to the connecting hole 14. Since the strip-shaped hole 221 extends along the second direction, it is convenient to adjust the position of the second housing 22 along the second direction, and the transmission belt 23 is tensioned by increasing the distance between the first housing 21 and the second housing 22.

[0048] Further, a limiting plate 15 is provided on one side of the base 1 close to the second housing 22. A screw member 16 is rotatably provided on the limiting plate 15, and a threaded hole 222 is provided on the side wall of the second housing 22. One end of the screw member 16 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 222. When it is necessary to move the second housing 22 along the second direction, only the screw member 16 needs to be rotated forward or backward, reducing the difficulty of moving the second housing 22 and facilitating the quick assembly and tensioning of the transmission belt 23.

[0049] Note that the above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention and the applied technical principle. Those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described here. Various obvious changes, re-adjustments and substitutions can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, although the present invention has been described in detail through the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Without departing from the concept of the present invention, more other equivalent embodiments can be included, and the scope of the present invention is determined by the scope of the appended claims.
