DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below, but the scope of protection claimed is not limited to the described solution.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the utility model describes a cigarette supply device, comprising a cigarette storage mechanism 1, a cigarette lowering mechanism 2 and a cigarette pushing mechanism 3, the cigarette storage mechanism 1 comprising a cigarette basket 11, the cigarette lowering mechanism 2 being arranged at the bottom of the cigarette basket 11, the cigarette lowering mechanism 2 comprising a plurality of cigarette lowering components 20 arranged side by side, the cigarette lowering components 20 being provided with a plurality of cigarette branch flow channels 200, and the number of cigarette branch flow channels 200 on the cigarette lowering components 20 is an integer multiple of five, the cigarette branch flow channels 200 are arranged from top to bottom, the cigarette pushing mechanism 3 is used for pushing out the cigarettes located at the lower end of the cigarette lowering component 20, and the number of cigarettes pushed out from a single cigarette lowering component 20 at a time by the cigarette pushing mechanism 3 is an integer multiple of five. When in use, the cigarette loading mechanism 2 includes multiple cigarette loading components 20, and the number of cigarettes pushed out by the cigarette pushing mechanism 3 from a single cigarette loading component 20 at one time is an integer multiple of five. Generally, the number of cigarettes pushed out by the cigarette pushing mechanism 3 from a single cigarette loading component 20 at one time is five, ten or twenty. When any one of the cigarette loading components 20 fails, the remaining cigarette loading components 20 can still work normally and complement each other to ensure that twenty cigarettes are collected before being loaded into the cigarette box, thereby ensuring that the cigarette production line can still work normally, thereby improving the flexibility of use and maintenance convenience of the device.

[0026] The cigarette storage mechanism 1 further includes two supports 10 arranged side by side, and a cigarette basket 11 is provided on the two supports 10 .

[0027] The smoke lowering mechanism 2 includes a plurality of smoke lowering components 20 arranged side by side.

[0028] The smoke lowering assembly 20 is provided with five or ten smoke branch flow channels 200 .

[0029] When the cigarette lowering assembly 20 is provided with five branch cigarette flow channels 200, the cigarette lowering assembly 20 comprises six partitions 201 arranged side by side, with a branch cigarette flow channel 200 formed between two adjacent partitions 201. The upper portions of the six partitions 201 are connected to the cigarette basket 11 via a mounting plate 202. The lower ends of the six partitions 201 are provided with a bottom plate 203. Two limiting plates 204 are provided side by side on the bottom plate 203, with the five branch cigarette flow channels 200 located between the two limiting plates 204. The two limiting plates 204 are used to limit the position of cigarettes located in the two outermost arc grooves 313 of the cigarette pushing block 312 in the radial direction of the cigarettes.

[0030] The cigarette ejection mechanism 3 ejects five, ten, or twenty cigarettes from a single cigarette lowering assembly 20 at a time. When the cigarette lowering assembly 20 is provided with five cigarette flow channels 200, if the cigarette ejection mechanism 3 ejects the cigarettes from the bottom layer of a single cigarette lowering assembly 20 at a time, five cigarettes can be ejected at a time, i.e., each cigarette lowering assembly 20 supplies 1 / 4 of the cigarettes for a cigarette box; if the cigarette ejection mechanism 3 ejects the cigarettes from the bottom two layers of a single cigarette lowering assembly 20 at a time, ten cigarettes can be ejected at a time, i.e., each cigarette lowering assembly 20 supplies 1 / 2 of the cigarettes for a cigarette box; and if the cigarette ejection mechanism 3 ejects the cigarettes from the bottom four layers of a single cigarette lowering assembly 20 at a time, twenty cigarettes can be ejected at a time, i.e., each cigarette lowering assembly 20 supplies all the cigarettes for a cigarette box. Similarly, if the lower cigarette assembly 20 is provided with ten cigarette flow channels 200, if the cigarette ejection mechanism 3 ejects the bottom layer of cigarettes in a single lower cigarette assembly 20 at a time, 10 cigarettes can be ejected at a time, i.e., each lower cigarette assembly 20 supplies 1 / 2 of the cigarettes in a cigarette box. If the cigarette ejection mechanism 3 ejects the bottom two layers of cigarettes in a single lower cigarette assembly 20 at a time, 20 cigarettes can be ejected at a time, i.e., each lower cigarette assembly 20 supplies all the cigarettes in a cigarette box. The specific shape of the cigarette box can be designed according to the cigarette ejection conditions of the cigarette supply device.

[0031] The cigarette ejection mechanism 3 includes a base 30 and a plurality of cigarette ejection components 31 provided on the base 30 . The number of the cigarette ejection components 31 is consistent with the number of the cigarette lowering components 20 , and the cigarette ejection components 31 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the cigarette lowering components 20 .

[0032] The cigarette ejecting assembly 31 includes a driving member 310 and a cigarette pushing block 312 . The driving member 310 is disposed on the base 30 , and the cigarette pushing block 312 is connected to the driving member 310 via a connecting block 311 .

[0033] The drive member 310 is an electric cylinder or a linear motor. When the electric cylinder or linear motor drives the cigarette pusher 312 forward via the connecting block 311, it can push the cigarettes in the lower part of the cigarette lowering assembly 20 into the mold box on the lower machine. When the electric cylinder or linear motor drives the cigarette pusher 312 backward via the connecting block 311, the cigarettes in the cigarette flow channels 200 on the cigarette lowering assembly 20 move downward to replenish the empty spaces. The electric cylinder or linear motor drives the cigarette pusher 312 to move back and forth linearly, thereby gradually supplying cigarettes to the lower machine. During use, a servo motor can also be used in conjunction with a transmission mechanism such as a gear rack to replace the electric cylinder or linear motor to drive the cigarette pusher 312 to move back and forth linearly.

[0034] The cigarette pushing block 312 is provided with multiple arcuate grooves 313 arranged side by side, and an escape groove 314 is provided between two adjacent arcuate grooves 313. When the cigarette pushing block 312 pushes out one layer of cigarettes at a time, the thickness of the cigarette pushing block 312 is slightly less than the diameter of the cigarettes; when the cigarette pushing block 312 pushes out two layers of cigarettes at a time, the thickness of the cigarette pushing block 312 is slightly less than twice the diameter of the cigarettes; and when the cigarette pushing block 312 pushes out four layers of cigarettes at a time, the thickness of the cigarette pushing block 312 is slightly less than four times the diameter of the cigarettes. The arcuate groove 313 is provided at the top of the cigarette pushing block 312 to prevent the bottom layer of cigarettes in the cigarette flow channel 200 from being flattened; the escape groove 314 is provided between two adjacent arcuate grooves 313 on the cigarette pushing block 312. The width of the escape groove 314 matches the thickness of the partition 201 to prevent interference between the cigarette pushing block 312 and the partition 201.
