[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, this embodiment provides a screening and conveying mechanism, including a conveying member 1, a conveying assembly 2, and a receiving assembly 3, wherein the conveying member 1 is used to convey the object 100 to a predetermined position and lower the object 100, and the conveying member 1 can separate the object 100 into objects of a first specification and objects of a second specification, the conveying assembly 2 is located below the predetermined position, and is used to convey objects of the first specification, and the receiving assembly 3 is located on the side of the conveying assembly 2 facing the predetermined position, and is used to receive and accommodate objects of the second specification. The conveying member 1 is used to separate the object 100 into objects of the first specification and objects of the second specification, and the conveyed objects 100 are judged during the conveying process. The conveying assembly 2 and the receiving assembly 3 are provided at the same time, so that the conveyed objects 100 can be screened. The first specification objects are cigarette boxes without missing cigarette cartons, and the second specification objects are cigarette boxes with missing cigarette cartons. The first specification objects are lowered by the conveying member 1 to the conveying assembly 2, and the conveying assembly 2 is used to convey them to the box sealing process for box sealing. Second-size objects are received and accommodated by the receiving assembly 3, completely distinguishing them from first-size objects. This facilitates staff members to replenish the missing cigarette cartons in the cigarette box before sealing the box. The entire screening process requires no human intervention, reducing staff workload and tobacco production costs. Furthermore, the screening efficiency is high, reducing tobacco processing time.

[0031] The storage assembly 3 includes a support member 31, a first storage member 32, a second storage member 33, and a pusher 34. The first storage member 32 is connected to the support member 31 and is tilted relative to the ground. The first storage member 32 has a storage slot 321 with an open end. The second storage member 33 is movably placed in the storage slot 321. The pusher 34 is connected to the second storage member 33 and is used to selectively extend the second storage member 33 from the storage slot 321. The second storage member 33 is movably placed in the storage slot 321 of the first storage member 32. When the transport member 1 transports objects of the second specification, the pusher 34 can be operated to operate, causing the second storage member 33 to extend from the storage slot 321 to receive the second specification object lowered by the transport member 1. The pusher 34 is then operated to retract, thereby receiving the second specification object while reducing the space occupied by the storage assembly 3. The first storage member 32 is arranged on the support member 31 at an angle relative to the ground, that is, the first storage member 32 and the second storage member 33 are arranged at an angle as a whole. After the second storage member 33 receives the second-specification object, the second-specification object will slide to the end of the storage slot 321 and be neatly arranged one by one in the storage slot 321. The staff can refill them one by one in the order of arrangement, so that the staff can accurately distinguish between the refilled cigarette boxes and the unrefilled cigarette boxes, thereby improving the staff's work efficiency.

[0032] In this embodiment, the transmission component 2 is specifically a conveyor belt for transmitting objects of the first specification. The specific structure and working principle of the transmission component 2 can be referred to the prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0033] Regarding the ability of the transport member 1 to distinguish between objects of the first and second specifications, in this embodiment, the transport member 1 includes a weight detector and a reminder. The weight detector is used to detect the weight of the transported object 100. A preset value is set within the weight detector. When the weight of the object 100 is greater than or equal to the preset value, the object 100 is determined to be of the first specification. When the weight of the object 100 is less than the preset value, the object 100 is determined to be of the second specification. The reminder is communicatively connected to the weight detector. The weight detector can transmit different signals to the reminder based on the type of object 100, thereby assisting the operator in determining the type of the current object 100 and, therefore, determining whether to operate the push member 34 to receive the second specification object. The reminder can be a display screen that displays different weight values ​​to assist the operator in determining the type of the transported object 100. The reminder can also be a buzzer that emits different reminder sounds based on the received signals to assist the operator in making the judgment. The weight detector and the reminder can be electrically connected or connected via Bluetooth to achieve communication, without specific limitations. The application of weight detectors and prompters are conventional parts in the electronic field. The specific working principles and structures can be referred to the existing technology, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0034] Exemplarily, the pusher 34 includes a connector 341 and a cylinder 342. The connector 341 is connected to the side wall of the second receiving member 33 and extends out of the receiving groove 321. The output end of the cylinder 342 is connected to the connector 341. The provision of the connector 341 connects the cylinder 342 to the second receiving member 33, rationalizing the structural design of the receiving assembly 3.

[0035] Preferably, the pusher 34 also includes a controller, which is electrically connected to the cylinder 342. The controller can control the start and stop of the cylinder 342. At the same time, the controller is communicatively connected to the weight detector. When the weight of the object 100 is less than a preset value, that is, when the object 100 is an object of the second specification, the weight detector transmits a Bluetooth signal to the controller, and the controller powers on the cylinder 342. The setting of the controller can realize that when the weight detector in the transporting member 1 determines that the object being transported is an object of the second specification, the second receiving member 33 automatically extends to receive it, thereby improving the degree of automation of the screening and conveying mechanism and further reducing the workload and difficulty of the staff. The controller and the weight detector can be connected in a communication manner using Bluetooth interaction. The communication connection between the controller and the weight detector, and the electrical connection between the controller and the cylinder 342, are both conventional technical means in the field of electricity and do not fall within the key protection content of the present utility model.

[0036] In this embodiment, the cylinder 342 includes a cylinder body and a cylinder rod, wherein the cylinder body is fixed to the side wall of the first receiving member 32, making the layout of the pusher 34 and the first receiving member 32 more compact. The cylinder rod is connected to the connecting member 341, and a clearance hole is provided on the side wall of the first receiving member 32 to which the cylinder body is fixed. The clearance hole is used to clear the connecting member 341. The provision of the clearance hole allows the connecting member 341 to extend, and the cylinder rod can drive the connecting member 341, and then drive the second receiving member 33 to extend out of the receiving slot 321, further improving the structural rationality of the receiving assembly 3.

[0037] In this embodiment, the support member 31 includes a support frame 311 and a receiving member 312, the receiving member 312 is fixedly connected to the support frame 311, the receiving member 312 has an inclined surface, and the first receiving member 32 is fixed to the inclined surface, thereby realizing that the first receiving member 32 is inclined with the ground, thereby making the second specification object enter the receiving slot 321 and slide to the tail end of the receiving slot 321. Exemplarily, the receiving member 312 includes two side panels and a connecting plate, the two side panels are arranged relative to each other, wherein the side panels have a hypotenuse, and the hypotenuses of the two side panels are parallel to each other, and the connecting plate is connected to the hypotenuses of the two side panels, so that the top surface of the connecting plate is a bevel. Preferably, the shape of the side panel is a right triangle or a right trapezoid, which is not only convenient for the processing of the side panel, but also convenient for the staff to identify the hypotenuse and quickly complete the assembly of the receiving member 312. Of course, the side panel can also be selected from other shapes with hypotenuses, which are not specifically limited here. In other embodiments, the receiving member 312 may also support a column having a right triangle or right trapezoidal cross-section. The specific structure of the receiving member 312 is not specifically limited herein.

[0038] Preferably, the support member 31 also includes a base plate 313, and the support frame 311 is fixedly set on the base plate 313. The setting of the base plate 313 enables the support member 31 to more stably support the first storage member 32, the second storage member 33 and the pushing member 34, thereby improving the stability of the storage component 3 structure.
