[0025] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] The utility model provides a cigar conveying device, the specific structure of which is as follows:

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cigar conveying device includes a conveyor roller 1 and several mold boxes 2. The mold boxes 2 are provided with receiving grooves 21 for accommodating cigars 3. The conveyor roller 1 is configured to convey the plurality of mold boxes 2 at intervals to a cigar output position 11. The device also includes at least one clamping assembly 4 provided on the mold box 2. The clamping assembly 4 includes two clamping arms, one on each side of the receiving groove 21. The clamping arms include a clamping portion 41 that abuts the cigar 3 and a movable portion 42 connected to the mold box 2. The movable portion 42 is connected to the mold box 2 via a movable center 43 and can rotate about the movable center 43. When the movable portion 42 rotates about the movable center 43, the clamping portion 41 separates from the cigar 3. During conveying, the clamping assembly 4 is used to secure the cigar 3 to prevent it from rolling or moving during conveying. Specifically, the two clamping arms engage the sides of the cigar 3, providing sufficient friction to secure the cigar 3 and prevent it from moving during conveying, thereby ensuring that the cigar 3 is labeled properly. Furthermore, the provision of the movable portion 42 allows the clamping arm to rotate about the movable center 43 , thereby enabling the clamping portion 41 to be opened or closed when necessary, so as to facilitate the insertion or removal of the cigar 3 .

[0028] In some embodiments, the cigar delivery device further includes a limiting member 5 for limiting the rotation limit of the movable portion 42 to ensure that the clamping portion 41 does not rotate excessively when it needs to be opened. Figure 2 As shown, the limiting member 5 can be a protrusion provided on the rotation path of the clamping portion 41 . When the movable portion 42 rotates a certain angle around the movable center 43 , the clamping portion 41 abuts against the limiting member 5 , thereby limiting further rotation of the movable portion 42 .

[0029] In some embodiments, there are two clamping assemblies 4, which are respectively arranged at the two ends of the mold box 2 to simultaneously fix the head and tail ends of the cigar 3, ensuring the stability of the cigar 3 during transportation, thereby obtaining a better labeling effect.

[0030] Due to the clamping force provided by the clamping assembly 4, the cigar 3 may be prevented from entering the next stage when it is discharged. To address this problem, the cigar conveying device further includes an output assembly, which includes an ejector 61. When the mold box 2 moves to the cigar discharge position 11, the ejector 61 pushes the movable portion 42, causing it to rotate about the movable center 43, thereby separating the clamping portion 41 from the cigar 3, ensuring that the cigar 3 can smoothly enter the next processing stage.

[0031] In a specific embodiment, the output assembly further includes a driving member 62 for driving the ejection member 61. The ejection member 61 includes a push rod 611 and an output push plate 612 for pushing the movable portion 42. The push rod 611 is connected to the output push plate 612. The driving member 62 drives the push rod 611 to move. The driving member 62 is preferably a linear cylinder. When the mold box 2 moves to the cigar output position 11, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, the driving member 62 drives the push rod 611 to move along the direction from the bottom of the accommodating groove 21 to the groove opening, thereby driving the output push plate 612 to move along the direction from the bottom of the accommodating groove 21 to the groove opening. The output push plate 612 pushes the movable portion 42 to rotate around the movable center 43, so that the clamping portion 41 is separated from the cigar 3, and the cigar 3 is discharged.

[0032] To prevent unqualified cigars from entering the next processing step, the output assembly further includes a detection member for detecting unqualified cigars and a rejection member 63 for rejecting unqualified cigars. The detection member is signal-connected to the ejection member 61 and the rejection member 63.

[0033] As a further improvement of the above embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the conveyor roller 1 is provided with a cigar rejection position 12, located downstream of the cigar output position 11 along the direction of movement of the mold box 2. When the mold box 2 containing unqualified cigars moves to the cigar rejection position 12, the rejection member 63 rejects the unqualified cigars. Specifically, during output, the inspection member checks whether the cigar 3 is qualified. If the inspection member determines that the cigar 3 is qualified, the ejection member 61 is activated, and the cigar 3 is output to the next processing stage. If the inspection member determines that the cigar 3 is unqualified, the ejection member 61 does not operate, and the rejection member 63 rejects the unqualified cigar.

[0034] In a specific embodiment, the rejection member 63 includes a rejection push plate 631 for pushing the cigar 3 out of the receiving groove 21; when the mold box 2 containing unqualified cigars moves to the cigar rejection position 12, the rejection push plate 631 pushes the movable portion 42 to rotate the movable portion 42 around the movable center 43, thereby separating the clamping portion 41 from the cigar 3, ensuring that the unqualified cigar can be successfully rejected.

[0035] In some embodiments, the output assembly further includes a collection member 64 for collecting unqualified cigars, located below the rejection push plate 631. After being rejected, unqualified cigars fall into the collection member 64 below the rejection push plate 631, where they can then be centrally processed or recycled. In one specific embodiment, the collection member 64 includes an inclined guide plate 641 for guiding the movement of the cigars 3, and baffles 642 located on either side of the inclined guide plate 641. These baffles guide the cigars 3 along the inclined guide plate 641 and prevent them from shifting during the sliding process.

[0036] The contents described above can be implemented individually or in combination in various ways, and these variations are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
