Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cigarette pack supply components during cigarette recycling and re-inspection, in particular to a cigarette pack supply component during cigarette recycling and re-inspection. Background Art

[0002] Cigarettes are a type of tobacco product. When producing cigarettes, they need to be inspected for quality. Some unqualified cigarettes will be recycled for re-inspection. The re-inspection is because the inspection results of some items may not meet the standards. To ensure that it is not caused by detection errors or accidents, regardless of whether the re-inspection is passed or not, the results of the re-inspection shall prevail. The final decision on whether the cigarettes are qualified shall be made. After the cigarettes are re-inspected, they need to be placed in cigarette boxes for packaging. At this time, the cigarette packing assembly is needed to provide cigarette boxes for transportation to the packaging area.

[0003] At present, most of the existing cigarette supply package assemblies are supplied by conveyor belts. For example, a Chinese patent (publication number: CN217171205U) discloses a cigarette package supply brake device, including a feeding trough and a feeding belt. The feeding belt is arranged above the feeding trough, and also includes a brake airbag, an electromagnetic conversion valve, a positive pressure air source, a negative pressure air source, a photoelectric sensor and a push plate. The trough wall on the same side of the feeding trough is provided with a mounting groove and a push plate groove. The brake airbag is fixed in the mounting groove, and the push plate is placed in the push plate groove. The movement direction of the push plate is perpendicular to the transmission direction of the feeding belt. The air nozzle, positive pressure air source and negative pressure air source on the brake airbag are connected to the upper air inlet on the electromagnetic conversion valve; the photoelectric sensor is arranged at the end of the feeding trough, and the cigarette package is supplied through the feeding belt. It has a simple structure, easy operation, reliable use, long service life, and can realize cigarette package separation without being squeezed and deformed. At the same time, it can ensure that the cigarette package input pusher will not be clamped, thereby ensuring product quality and avoiding waste.

Therefore, the specific structure and working principle of the conveyor belt transport mechanism 2 and the linear module 3 are not described in detail in this article.

[0022] The moving end of the linear module 3 is fixed with a connecting plate 4, two long holes 5 are provided on the left side of the storage bin 1, and two connecting blocks 6 are fixed on the right side of the connecting plate 4, which respectively penetrate the two long holes 5 and extend to the inside of the storage bin 1. A lifting plate 7 is fixed to the right side of the two connecting blocks 6. A pushing assembly 8 is provided in the storage bin 1, and a discharge hole 9 is provided on the right side of the storage bin 1. An inclined plate 10 is fixed to the right side of the storage bin 1, and a U-shaped plate 11 is fixed to the right side of the inclined plate 10. Two baffles 12 distributed left and right are fixed to the bottom surface of the U-shaped plate 11. The conveyor belt of the conveyor belt conveying mechanism 2 is arranged between the two baffles 12 When in use, the cigarette pack is placed into the storage bin 1, and the cigarette pack is lifted by the lifting plate 7. Further, the pushing assembly 8 is used to push the cigarette pack onto the inclined plate 10 and slide it to the U-shaped plate 11. Finally, the baffle 12 is used to make the cigarette pack fall neatly on the conveyor belt of the conveying mechanism 2 for transportation, providing a steady supply of cigarette packs for cigarette packaging. When the cigarette packs in the storage bin 1 are insufficient, the spare cigarette packs can be directly poured into the storage bin 1. There is no need for workers to arrange the cigarette packs neatly, which greatly improves the efficiency of cigarette pack replenishment and thus improves the cigarette pack supply efficiency of the device. It is more practical and easier to promote and use.
