[0031] See also Figure 4 The glue stick fixing area 14 is provided with a slide rail 141, which allows the glue stick to move freely on the slide rail 141, thereby accommodating glue sticks of different lengths and operating requirements, improving the versatility and flexibility of the device. The centers of the limit blocks 142 at both ends are located at the ends of the slide rail 141 and are vertically aligned with the slide rail 141. This ensures that the glue stick can be stably stopped when it moves to the extreme position of the slide rail 141, preventing damage or operational errors caused by excessive movement.

[0032] Furthermore, the provision of stoppers 142 helps maintain a clean worksite, avoiding clutter caused by slipping dispensing sticks, and further promoting the implementation of lean site management. Overall, these design features work together to not only improve the efficiency of cigarette pack paste printing, but also reduce workplace clutter through an integrated design, promoting the implementation of lean site management. Furthermore, these designs enhance operational safety and tool stability, making the entire paste printing process smoother and safer, thereby improving overall work quality.

[0035] b. Prepare glue:

[0036] Open the glue cover 3 in the glue tray assembly area 12 and use the glue in the glue storage area 21 to perform paste printing.

[0037] c. Preparation of solid glue:

[0038] When the glue in the glue storage area 21 is used up, it is necessary to take out the solid glue from the solid glue storage area 13. The oblique structural design of this area makes the storage and use of the solid glue more convenient.

[0039] d. Dispensing operation:

[0040] The glue dispensing stick fixed in the glue dispensing stick fixing area 14 is used to perform glue dispensing operations on the glue dispensing platform 15 , wherein the slope design of the glue dispensing platform helps to control the flow of glue and improve the accuracy of glue dispensing.

[0041] e. Paste printing:

[0042] After the glue is dispensed on the glue dispensing station 15, the print is accurately pasted on the cigarette pack. Multiple independent glue dispensing stations 15 can perform multiple glue dispensing operations at the same time, improving work efficiency.

[0043] f. Fixing and inspection:

[0044] After pasting is completed, use the magnet inside the main body 1 to fix the entire appliance on the iron table to ensure stability during operation, and then check whether the print is pasted in place to ensure quality.

[0045] g. Cleaning and maintenance:

[0046] After the printing work is completed, the glue tray 2 and the glue dispensing station 15 are cleaned to keep the equipment clean for next use.
