When the tobacco moves in it under the action of negative pressure, the running stability and smoothness can be improved, and it is conducive to reducing the resistance of the tobacco to the forward movement.

[0030] In addition, it also includes a first alloy support bar 4, which forms the inner wall surface of the first air chamber channel 6 and the second air chamber channel 7. The inner wall surface of the first alloy support bar 4 is mirror-polished.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, at least one chopper assembly 3 is provided at the middle position of the first tobacco channel 8 and the second tobacco channel 9. The chopper assembly includes choppers provided on both sides of the tobacco channel. The choppers are used to remove excess tobacco to retain the amount of tobacco that meets the weight of the cigarette.

[0035] like Figure 5 As shown, it also includes a second alloy support bar 5, which forms the inner wall surface of the first tobacco channel 8 and the second tobacco channel 9, and the inner wall surface of the second alloy support bar 5 is mirror-polished, which can further reduce the resistance of the tobacco to move forward therein. The second alloy support bar 5 has good wear resistance, which is conducive to improving the service life of the chopper guide rail assembly 2. In this embodiment, the back of the second alloy support bar 5 is provided with a plurality of first protrusions, which are embedded in the guide rail at the corresponding position. A plurality of screws corresponding to the position of the second protrusions are passed through the guide rail and screwed to the second protrusions to fix the second alloy support bar 5, thereby facilitating maintenance. In addition, the second alloy support bar 5 includes multiple length sections, which can reduce the difficulty of processing the alloy support bar and help simplify the process.

[0036] In addition, the opening ends of the first tobacco channel 8 and the second tobacco channel 9 formed by the second alloy support bar 5 are trumpet-shaped. Specifically, the second alloy support bar 5 is inclined outward by 10° near the opening end.
