[0002] The cigarette package sorting device is a device used to sort and separate the cigarette packages produced to determine whether they are qualified.
[0003] Currently, there are many cigarette case sorting devices on the market. However, in general, workers place the packaged cigarette cases on a conveyor for transportation. The workers then hold the cigarette cases at a designated location and visually inspect and sort them one by one. This greatly increases the workers' workload. In addition, manually pushing non-compliant cigarette cases onto an inclined plate on one side of the conveyor can easily cause the cigarette cases to fall off the inclined plate due to excessive force, thereby reducing the practicality of the device.
[0004] Based on the above, the inventors have discovered that in a general cigarette case sorting device, staff members place packaged cigarette cases on a conveyor for transportation, and then hold the cigarette cases in a designated position and visually observe and sort them one by one, which greatly increases the staff's workload. In addition, manually pushing non-compliant cigarette cases onto an inclined plate on one side of the conveyor can easily cause excessive force to cause the cigarette cases to fall off the inclined plate. Therefore, in view of this, the inventors have studied and improved the existing structure and provided a cigarette case sorting device in order to achieve a more practical purpose.
