[0027] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should know that the embodiments described below are part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] Any number of elements in the drawings is for illustration and not limitation, and any naming is for distinction only and does not have any limiting meaning.

[0029] The principle and spirit of the present invention are explained in detail below with reference to several representative embodiments of the present invention.

[0030] The utility model provides a ring-shaped cigarette storage and transportation device, such as Figures 1 to 7 As shown, it includes a mounting frame 1, a fixed transport mechanism 2, and a rotary transport mechanism 3. The mounting frame 1 is configured as an annular cylindrical structure. The mounting frame 1 serves as the supporting base of the entire equipment. Materials are transported along the fixed transport mechanism 2 and the rotary transport mechanism 3. The fixed transport mechanism 2 and the rotary transport mechanism 3 are both configured as arc structures. The fixed transport mechanism 2 and the rotary transport mechanism 3 are both sleeved on the outer wall of the mounting frame 1 and distributed in the vertical direction, forming upper and lower multi-layer transport channels. This design allows cigarettes to be stored and transported simultaneously on different transport paths.

[0031] In this embodiment, the mounting frame 1 includes a fixed frame 11 and a rotating frame 12. A driving mechanism 4 is provided on the mounting frame 1, and the driving mechanism 4 cooperates with the rotating frame 12 to rotate the rotating frame 12 along its axis; the driving mechanism 4 includes a driving motor 41 and a driving gear 42. The driving motor 41 is linked to the driving gear 42. The rotating frame 12 includes a support plate 121, and the support plate 121 includes two groups. A pin 122 is connected to the top of the two groups of support plates 121. The pin 122 includes several, and the support plate 121 is an annular structure. The support plate 121 includes an inner side 1211 and an outer side 1212. The second support frame 31 is fixedly connected to the outer side 1212 of the support plate 121. Several pins 122 are evenly distributed along the inner side 1211 of the support plate 121. The driving gear 42 is movably cooperated with the pin 122 so that the rotating frame 12 is driven to rotate when the driving gear 42 rotates.

[0032] In this embodiment, the driving motor 41 is fixedly mounted on the mounting frame 1 and provides a power source to drive the rotation of the driving gear 42. The rotating frame 12 is composed of two groups of support plates 121 respectively arranged in the vertical direction to form a stable annular structure. When the driving motor 41 is started, the driving gear 42 starts to rotate. Due to the active cooperation between the pin rod 122 and the driving gear 42, the rotation of the driving gear 42 will be converted into a driving force on the pin rod 122, thereby driving the entire rotating frame 12 to rotate around its axis, so that the movement of the rotating frame 12 is smooth and controllable.

[0033] In this embodiment, a support assembly 123 is provided on the support plate 121. The support assembly 123 includes a mounting block 1231 and a support wheel 1232. The support wheel 1232 is rotatably mounted on the mounting block 1231. The mounting block 1231 is fixedly connected to the support plate 121, and the support wheel 1232 is movably abutted against the fixing frame 11.

[0034] In this embodiment, the rotating frame 12 is clamped between the two sets of fixed frames 11. The supporting wheels 1232 comprise two sets, one located on the upper and lower sides of the rotating frame 12. The rotating frame 12 is supported between the two sets of fixed frames 11 by the two sets of supporting wheels 1232. The provision of the supporting wheels 1232 helps reduce friction and resistance during the rotation of the rotating frame 12 while providing necessary support. In other embodiments, the number, distribution, and size of the supporting wheels 1232 can be adjusted according to actual usage requirements to ensure that the rotating frame 12 does not become damaged or fail due to instability during rotation.

[0035] In this embodiment, the fixed transport mechanism 2 includes a first support frame 21 and a first conveyor belt 22, and the first conveyor belt 22 is rotatably mounted on the first support frame 21. The rotary transport mechanism 3 includes a second support frame 31 and a second conveyor belt 32, and the second conveyor belt 32 is rotatably mounted on the second support frame 31. The fixed transport mechanism 2 is fixedly connected to the fixed frame 11 through the first support frame 21, and the second support frame 31 is fixedly connected to the outer side 1212 of the support plate 121. The rotary transport mechanism 3 is fixedly connected to the rotary frame 12 through the second support frame 31.

[0036] In this embodiment, the first support frame 21 and the second support frame 31 serve as the primary support structures for the fixed transport mechanism 2 and the rotary transport mechanism 3, respectively, ensuring the stability and reliability of the entire mechanism. The first conveyor belt 22 and the second conveyor belt 32 are both used to transport materials. In this embodiment, the first conveyor belt 22 and the second conveyor belt 32 have opposite conveying directions, allowing the device to more flexibly handle the flow of items and adapt to more complex logistics needs. It should be noted that the drive systems for the first conveyor belt 22 and the second conveyor belt 32 are all prior art, and those skilled in the art should be familiar with their structure, principles, and methods of use, and therefore will not be described in detail here.

[0037] In this embodiment, the fixed frame 11 and the rotating frame 12 each include multiple groups, and the fixed frame 11 and the rotating frame 12 are arranged alternately in sequence along the vertical direction, and the fixed transport mechanism 2 and the rotating transport mechanism 3 each include multiple groups, and the fixed transport mechanism 2 and the rotating transport mechanism 3 are located on the outer wall of the mounting frame 1 and are arranged alternately in sequence along the vertical direction. The fixed transport mechanism 2 corresponds one-to-one to the fixed frame 11, and the rotating transport mechanism 3 corresponds one-to-one to the rotating frame 12.

[0038] In this embodiment, the fixed transport mechanism 2 and the rotary transport mechanism 3 are both arc structures. Materials fall on the fixed transport mechanism 2 and the rotary transport mechanism 3 alternately from top to bottom, which can effectively avoid queue jumping during transportation of materials and enable materials to be first in first out, that is, the materials that enter first are discharged first, which can effectively avoid the materials being retained for a long time.

[0039] In this embodiment, the fixed frame 11 serves as the primary support structure for the fixed transport mechanisms 2, ensuring the stability and accuracy of each set of fixed transport mechanisms 2. The rotating frame 12 serves as the primary support structure for the rotating transport mechanisms 3, allowing a certain degree of rotation of the rotating transport mechanisms 3. In this embodiment, the device, through multiple sets of fixed transport mechanisms 2 and rotating transport mechanisms 3, forms a highly integrated and modular logistics and transportation system, forming a three-dimensional, multi-level item transport network that fully utilizes spatial resources, achieves rapid and continuous transport of items, and improves overall transportation efficiency.

[0040] In this embodiment, the driving end of the drive motor 41 is linked to a linkage rod 43, and the drive gear 42 includes several, and the several drive gears 42 are linked to the linkage rod 43. The linkage rod 43 transmits the power of the drive motor 41 to multiple drive gears 42 to realize power distribution and transmission. Multiple drive gears 42 are used in the drive mechanism 4, which can provide the equipment with greater power output and a wider driving range.

[0041] In other embodiments, the linkage rod 43 and the driving end of the driving motor 41 can be connected stably and reliably through various connection methods such as key connection and spline connection to ensure effective transmission of power.

[0042] In other embodiments, the driving gear 42 can be directly installed on the linkage rod 43, or can be realized through an intermediate transmission mechanism (such as a chain, belt, etc.). A gear reducer or other transmission device can also be provided between each driving gear 42 and the linkage rod 43 to adjust the speed and torque of the driving gear 42.

[0043] In this embodiment, the linkage rods 43 include two groups, and a number of drive gears 42 are alternately arranged in the vertical direction on the two groups of linkage rods 43. On each group of linkage rods 43, the drive gears 42 are arranged at intervals, and between the two groups of linkage rods 43, the drive gears 42 are alternately arranged, which helps to optimize the power transmission path, improve the overall efficiency of the system, and further provide the equipment with greater power output and a wider driving range.

[0044] In this embodiment, the driving end of the drive motor 41 is linked to a central gear, and linkage gears are engaged on both sides of the central gear. The two sets of linkage gears are respectively linked to the two sets of linkage rods 43, so that the two sets of linkage rods 43 rotate in the same direction, thereby realizing that multiple sets of rotary conveying mechanisms rotate synchronously and in the same direction.

[0045] In other embodiments, the two sets of linkage rods 43 may be fixed to the mounting frame 1 via bearings and brackets to ensure their stability and reliability.

[0046] In this embodiment, the fixed transport mechanism 2 also includes a first guide mechanism 23, and the rotary transport mechanism 3 also includes a second guide mechanism 33. The first guide mechanism 23 and the second guide mechanism 33 are respectively located at the ends of the first support frame 21 and the second support frame 31, and the installation directions of the first guide mechanism 23 and the second guide mechanism 33 are opposite. The first guide mechanism 23 and the second guide mechanism 33 both include a guide plate 331, and the guide plate 331 is set to an inclined structure. The inclination directions of the guide plates 331 in the guide mechanisms of the fixed transport mechanism 2 and the rotary transport mechanism 3 are opposite, ensuring that the items can stably move along a predetermined straight or curved path during transportation.

[0047] It should be noted that the conveying direction of the first conveyor belt 22 and the second conveyor belt 32 are respectively along the side of the guide plate 331 in the fixed conveying mechanism 2 and the rotary conveying mechanism 3, that is, the material is transported between the first guide mechanism 23 and the second guide mechanism 33.

[0048] In this embodiment, by rotating the rotary transport mechanism 3, the relative distance between the first guide mechanism 23 and the second guide mechanism 33 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the transport distance of the material in the horizontal direction, so that the equipment can adapt to the storage and transportation needs of different quantities of materials.

[0049] In this embodiment, a material conveyor is provided at the material outlet below the equipment to transport the material to the next mechanism. The conveyor is a prior art, and those skilled in the art should be aware of its structure, principle, and usage, etc., which will not be described in detail here.

[0050] In this embodiment, a cover plate 5 is provided on the outer wall of the device, and the cover plate 5 is a transparent glass plate.

[0051] According to the above description of this specification, those skilled in the art may also understand that the terms used below, such as "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "width", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside" and other terms indicating orientation or positional relationships are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the drawings of this specification. They are only for the purpose of facilitating the explanation of the scheme of the utility model and simplifying the description, rather than explicitly or implicitly indicating that the devices or elements involved must have the specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the above-mentioned orientation or positional relationship terms cannot be understood or interpreted as limitations on the scheme of the utility model.

[0052] In addition, in the description of this specification, “a plurality of” means at least two, for example, two, three or more, etc., unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.
