[0030] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended only to explain the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a steering conveying mechanism for transferring the objects 7 to be conveyed on the first conveyor belt 5 to the second conveyor belt 6 through a bend. The first conveyor belt 5 and the second conveyor belt 6 are parallel to each other and move in opposite directions.

[0032] The diverting conveying mechanism comprises a support base 1, a transmission assembly 2, and a guide plate 3. A turntable 11 is rotatably mounted on the support base 1. A first conveyor belt 5 and a second conveyor belt 6 are horizontally positioned on opposite sides of the turntable 11, allowing the objects 7 to pass through the turntable 11 during transfer via the first and second conveyor belts 5 and 6. Optionally, the objects 7 are cigarettes. Of course, other products are also possible, and this embodiment is not particularly limited thereto.

[0033] The transmission assembly 2 is arranged on the support base 1, and the driving end of the transmission assembly 2 is connected to the turntable 11 for driving the turntable 11 to rotate. At the same time, the guide plate 3 is arranged at intervals above the support base 1, and the first conveyor belt 5, the second conveyor belt 6 and the turntable 11 are all located below the guide plate 3. The guide plate 3 is provided with a guide groove 31 in the horizontal direction. The parts to be conveyed 7 can be transferred from the first conveyor belt 5 to the turntable 11 and the second conveyor belt 6 in sequence through the guide groove 31, so that the parts to be conveyed 7 on the first conveyor belt 5 can be turned and moved to the second conveyor belt 6 through the mutual cooperation between the turntable 11 and the guide plate 3. The process directly drives the parts to be conveyed 7 to rotate through the turntable 11, thereby solving the problem that the parts to be conveyed 7 are prone to accumulation and blockage at the bend, thereby improving the conveying efficiency of the parts to be conveyed 7.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the transmission assembly 2 includes a support frame 21 and a transmission shaft 22, a first roller 23 and a second roller 24 rotatably arranged on the support frame 21. The support frame 21 is arranged on the support seat 1. One end of the transmission shaft 22 is transmitted to the turntable 11, and the other end of the transmission shaft 22 is transmitted to the first roller 23 and the second roller 24. The roller surface of the first roller 23 can abut against the first conveyor belt 5, and the roller surface of the second roller 24 can abut against the second conveyor belt 6. Therefore, during the operation and movement of the first conveyor belt 5 and the second conveyor belt 6, the first conveyor belt 5 can drive the first roller 23 to rotate, and the second conveyor belt 6 can drive the second roller 24 to rotate, so that the first roller 23 and the second roller 24 jointly drive the transmission shaft 22 to rotate, and then the transmission shaft 22 can drive the turntable 11 to rotate, thereby realizing the cornering transfer of the conveyed member 7 on the turntable 11.

[0035] Specifically, a first synchronous pulley 221 is provided at one end of the transmission shaft 22, and a second synchronous pulley 111 is provided at the rotating shaft of the turntable 11, and a synchronous belt is provided on the outer sleeve of the first synchronous pulley 221 and the second synchronous pulley 111. Thus, through the setting of the first synchronous pulley 221, the second synchronous pulley 111 and the synchronous belt, the transmission between the transmission shaft 22 and the turntable 11 is realized, and by adjusting the transmission ratio between the first synchronous pulley 221 and the second synchronous pulley 111, the rotational speed between the first synchronous pulley 221 and the second synchronous pulley 111 can be adjusted to meet the actual working conditions. At the same time, a center bevel gear 222 is provided at the other end of the transmission shaft 22, a first bevel gear 231 is provided at the rotating shaft of the first roller 23, and a second bevel gear 241 is provided at the rotating shaft of the second roller 24. The first bevel gear 231 and the second bevel gear 241 are arranged opposite to each other in the horizontal direction, and the center bevel gear 222 is located between the first bevel gear 231 and the second bevel gear 241, and is meshed and connected to the first bevel gear 231 and the second bevel gear 241. Therefore, through the arrangement of the center bevel gear 222, the first bevel gear 231 and the second bevel gear 241, the transmission between the transmission shaft 22 and the first roller 23 and the second roller 24 is realized respectively, and its transmission structure is simple, which is convenient for manufacturing and production.

[0036] Furthermore, a support plate 12 is provided on the support base 1, and a support frame 21 is movably provided on the support plate 12 in a vertical direction, so that the horizontal height of the support frame 21 can be adjusted, ensuring that the first roller 23 and the second roller 24 can respectively abut against the first conveyor belt 5 and the second conveyor belt 6, thereby reducing the difficulty of assembling the steering conveying mechanism. Optionally, the transmission assembly 2 also includes an adjustment member 25, and a waist hole 121 is provided on the support plate 12 in a vertical direction. The adjustment member 25 can pass through the waist hole 121 and connect to the support frame 21, so that the height of the support frame 21 can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the adjustment member 25 on the waist hole 121. Further optionally, the support plate 12 is movably provided on the support base 1 in a horizontal direction, so that the horizontal position of the support frame 21 can be adjusted, thereby facilitating the installation of the synchronous belt on the first synchronous pulley 221 and the second synchronous pulley 111.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the guide groove 31 has a curved guide surface 311, and the member 7 to be conveyed can be guided and moved along the curved guide surface 311. The provision of the curved guide surface 311 can reduce the difficulty of the member 7 to be conveyed moving within the guide groove 31, thereby preventing the member 7 from accumulating and clogging. The steering conveying mechanism also includes a limit plate 4, which is disposed within the guide groove 31 and is used to abut against the other side of the member 7 to be conveyed away from the curved guide surface 311 in the horizontal direction. The limit plate 4 thus abuts against the member 7 to be conveyed and limits its position, thereby preventing the member 7 to be conveyed from tipping over when turning.

[0038] In another embodiment, the steering conveying mechanism further includes a drive assembly, the driving end of which is connected to the transmission assembly 2 and is used to drive the turntable 11 to rotate through the transmission assembly 2. Therefore, in the event that the first roller 23 and the second roller 24 fail, the drive assembly can also drive the turntable 11 to rotate, thereby achieving the turning movement of the conveyed object 7. The drive assembly can also serve as a power source to drive the first conveyor belt 5 and the second conveyor belt 6 to move through the first roller 23 and the second roller 24. Optionally, the drive assembly is a drive motor, and the driving end of the drive motor is connected to the first synchronous pulley 221 or the second synchronous pulley 111.

[0039] The present embodiment also provides a cigarette production device, including the steering conveying mechanism as described above. The cigarette production device also includes a first conveyor belt 5 and a second conveyor belt 6. The first conveyor belt 5 and the second conveyor belt 6 are parallel to each other and are arranged in opposite directions of movement. The first conveyor belt 5 and the second conveyor belt 6 are arranged on opposite sides of the turntable 11 in the horizontal direction. By using the steering conveying mechanism as described above, the cigarette production device can make the parts to be conveyed 7 on the first conveyor belt 5 turn and move to the second conveyor belt 6 via the turntable 11. This process directly drives the parts to be conveyed 7 to rotate through the turntable 11, thereby solving the problem that the parts to be conveyed 7 are prone to accumulation and blockage at the bend, thereby improving the conveying efficiency of the parts to be conveyed 7.

[0040] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all implementation methods here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
