After sorting, the cigarettes from each order are longitudinally fed into the first conveyor belt and transported to the cigarette wrapping machine. The leading edge of the cigarettes from one order initially presses against the wrapping film, which then unfolds as the cigarettes from that order continue to move. When the wrapping machine detects the trailing edge of the cigarettes from that order, it thermoplastically seals and cuts the wrapping film to form cigarette packs. The packs then enter the second conveyor belt and are transported to the side-sealing system, where the wrapping film on both sides of the packs is thermoplastically sealed. After sealing, they enter the third conveyor belt and are transported to the next process. These packs may contain one, two, three, or four cigarettes, but the wrapping film width is fixed. When there are four cigarettes in a pack, the wrapping film on both sides is just right. However, when there are only one, two, or three cigarettes in a pack, there is excess wrapping film on both sides, which takes up transportation space and increases transportation costs.

The two ends of the second cigarette conveyor belt 20 are respectively connected to the second conveyor belt 3 and the third conveyor belt 5. The second cigarette conveyor belt 20 is provided with a second cigarette side position sensor 21, two sets of second linear motion mechanisms 22, two side sealing machines 23 and a second controller. The second cigarette side position sensor 21 is arranged on the second frame 19 between the two side sealing machines 23 and the second conveyor belt 3. The second cigarette side position sensor 21 is an infrared ranging sensor, which is used to detect the distance between it and the cigarette 15 (the cigarette conveyed by the first conveyor belt 1 is located in the middle in the width direction of the first conveyor belt 1). The two groups of second linear motion mechanisms 22 are respectively connected to the second frames 19 on both sides of the second cigarette conveyor belt 20. The two groups of second linear motion mechanisms 22 are arranged along the width direction of the second cigarette conveyor belt 20.

[0029] When the cigarette packing machine is in use, the cigarettes 15 of each order after sorting enter the first conveyor belt 1 from the middle of the width direction of the first conveyor belt 3 in a longitudinal manner (that is, the long side of the cigarettes is parallel to the conveying direction of the first conveyor belt 1), and are transported to the cigarette wrapping machine 2 by the first conveyor belt 1. On the cigarette wrapping machine 2, the front end of the cigarettes 15 of an order first presses against the packaging film 8, and the packaging film 8 is driven to unfold as the cigarettes 15 of the order continue to move. When the side position sensor 11 of the first cigarette detects the distance between it and the cigarette 15 (the distance is within the set range, if it is detected outside the set range, it is not a cigarette 15), the controller controls the two groups of first linear motion mechanisms 12 to move and thereby drive the two side film cutting machines 13 towards The cigarette strips 15 move until they are close to the side of the cigarette strips 15 of the order. As the cigarette strips 15 of the order continue to move, the packaging films 8 on both sides of the cigarette strips of the order slowly enter between the cutters 18 and the pads 14 on both sides of the first cigarette conveyor belt 9. When the rear-end film sealing and cutting machine 10 detects the rear end of the cigarette strips 15 of the order, the first cigarette conveyor belt 9 stops, and the packaging film 8 on the rear end of the cigarette strips 15 of the order is thermoplastically sealed and cut. The first cigarette conveyor belt 9 then continues to run for a certain distance and then stops. The controller then controls the two first lifting mechanisms to descend, and the blades 18 at the lower ends of the two first lifting mechanisms cut the excess packaging film 8 on both sides of the cigarette strips 15 of the order on the two pads 14, thereby forming a cigarette pack 27. Afterwards, the controller controls the first cigarette conveyor belt 9 to continue running so that the cigarette pack 27 enters the second conveyor belt 3, and is sent to the side sealing system 4 by the second conveyor belt 3. When the second cigarette side position sensor 21 on the side sealing system 4 detects the distance between it and the cigarette 15 in the cigarette pack 27 (the distance is within the set range, if it is outside the set range, it is not a cigarette 15), the controller controls the two sets of second linear motion mechanisms 22 to move and then drives the two side sealing machines 23 to move respectively until they move to the side of the cigarette 15 close to the cigarette pack 27. When the distance detected by the second cigarette side position sensor 21 is outside the set range, the controller controls the second cigarette conveyor belt 20 to stop, the controller controls the two second lifting mechanisms to descend, and controls the power switch of the hot melt component 26 to turn on. The two sets of hot melt components 26 respectively perform thermoplastic sealing on the packaging film 8 on both sides of the cigarette pack 27. At this point, the packaging of the cigarette 15 is completed, and the second cigarette conveyor belt 20 is started to transport the packaged cigarette pack to the third conveyor belt 5, which is then transported to the next process by the third conveyor belt 5.

[0030] The two side film cutters 13 on the cigarette wrapping machine 2 of the baler can cut off the excess packaging film 8 on both sides of the cigarette strips 15 of each order, and the two side film sealers 23 on the side film sealing system 4 can seal the packaging film 8 on both sides of each cigarette pack 27, so that there is no excess packaging film 8 in the final cigarette pack 27, solving the technical problem that the excess packaging film 8 of the cigarette pack 27 will occupy the transportation space. The setting of the pad 14 prevents the cutter 18 from damaging the first cigarette conveyor belt 9. The purpose of the setting of the first mounting block 16 and the first guide rod 17 is to support and guide the side film cutter 13. The purpose of the setting of the second mounting block 24 and the second guide rod 25 is to support and guide the side film sealer 13.

[0031] Example 2

[0032] like Figure 4-6 As shown, the difference from the first embodiment is that a waste film collection port 28 is provided on the first frame 6 on both sides of the first cigarette conveyor belt 9, the waste film collection port 28 is connected to a waste film collection tank 29, and the waste film collection tank 29 is connected to a vacuum pump.

[0033] The vacuum pump generates negative pressure in the waste film collecting tank 29 , and the waste film on the first cigarette conveyor belt 9 is sucked into the waste film collecting tank 29 through the waste film collecting port 28 under the negative pressure adsorption.

[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model and are not limiting. Although the utility model is described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in this field should understand that the technical solution of the utility model can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the purpose and scope of the technical solution, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the utility model.
