[0025] Technologies, methods, and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the technologies, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0026] Considering the packaging characteristics of the 9+1 cigarette pack, which contains 10 cigarettes in a 5*5 double layer arrangement, with the middle cigarette in the upper layer being a special cigarette, if the conventional method is used to produce the special cigarette group:

[0027] 1) Special cigarettes require dedicated conveying channels to be transported to the designated cigarette outlet. Conventional methods require nine conveying channels, and the spaces are staggered, which cannot meet the production requirements of staggered arrangement of cigarettes.

[0028] 2) The special cigarettes are different from the other 9 cigarettes, and there is no guarantee that the special cigarettes in the middle position can be arranged and packaged according to the designed position.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the special cigarette staggered device provided in this embodiment includes: a staggered cigarette conveying channel 3, the staggered cigarette conveying channel 3 is provided with a cigarette staggered block 4, and a special cigarette conveying channel 1 and an ordinary cigarette conveying channel 2 are provided above the cigarette staggered block 4, wherein the special cigarette conveying channel 1 and the ordinary cigarette conveying channel 2 are used to alternately convey cigarettes to the staggered cigarette conveying channel 3, and the cigarette staggered block 4 can move back and forth left and right between the lower positions corresponding to the special cigarette conveying channel 1 and the ordinary cigarette conveying channel 2.

[0030] The staggered cigarette block 4 is located between the special cigarette conveying channel 1, the ordinary cigarette conveying channel 2, and the staggered cigarette conveying channel 3. The special cigarette conveying channel 1 and the ordinary cigarette conveying channel 2 are located on the same plane but are not connected to each other. The special cigarette conveying channel 1 and the ordinary cigarette conveying channel 2 are supplied with cigarettes from different cigarette storages.

[0031] During operation, under the action of the cigarette staggered block 4, the special cigarette conveying channel 1 and the ordinary cigarette conveying channel 2 alternately convey cigarettes to the staggered cigarette conveying channel 3. In this way, special cigarettes and ordinary cigarettes alternately enter the staggered cigarette conveying channel 3, thereby realizing the staggered arrangement of special cigarettes.

[0032] Furthermore, the cigarette staggered block 4 is connected to a cam-link mechanism for driving the cigarette staggered block 4 to move. The cam-link mechanism is located at the rear of the cigarette bin. Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, the cam-linkage mechanism includes a connecting rod 6 connected to the staggered cigarette block 4. Specifically, in some embodiments of the present invention, the staggered cigarette block 4 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 6 via a screw; the connecting rod 6 is connected to a cam 5, which is used to push the connecting rod 6 back and forth. During this movement, the connecting rod 6 is used to drive the staggered cigarette block 4 back and forth between the special cigarette delivery channel 1 and the ordinary cigarette delivery channel 2. The movement of the cam 5 pushes the connecting rod 6 back and forth, simultaneously achieving back and forth movement of the staggered cigarette block 4 between the special cigarette delivery channel 1 and the ordinary cigarette delivery channel 2, alternately feeding cigarettes to the staggered cigarette delivery channel 3 below.

[0033] Furthermore, the cam 5 is connected to a motor 7 for driving the cam 5 to rotate. Rotation of the motor 7 can also drive the cam 5 to rotate. In some embodiments of the present invention, the motor 7 is fixedly connected to the cam 5 via a shaft. In some embodiments of the present invention, the cam 5 rotates clockwise under the drive of the motor 7. At the same time, due to the special outer profile of the cam 5, it can push the connecting rod 6 to move back and forth periodically. Because the cigarette staggered block 4 is mounted on the connecting rod 6, the cigarette staggered block 4 can move back and forth left and right, thereby alternately feeding ordinary cigarettes from the ordinary cigarette conveying channel 2 and special cigarettes from the special cigarette conveying channel 1 into the staggered cigarette conveying channel 3.

[0034] Furthermore, if Figure 3As shown, the staggered cigarette block 4 is an alloy block composed of two square combinations, and two rectangular holes are symmetrically opened on the staggered cigarette block 4, and the size of each rectangular hole is consistent with the longitudinal cross-sectional size of the corresponding cigarette, and the distance between the two rectangular holes is equal to the distance between the special cigarette conveying channel 1 and the staggered cigarette conveying channel 3, and the distance between the special cigarette conveying channel 1 and the staggered cigarette conveying channel 3 is equal to the distance between the ordinary cigarette conveying channel 2 and the staggered cigarette conveying channel 3. Specifically, the cigarette staggered block 4 includes a horizontal part 41 and a vertical part 42, and a plurality of threaded holes 43 are provided on the vertical part 42 to connect the cigarette staggered block 4 to the connecting rod 6 through the threaded holes 43; a first hole 44 and a second hole 45 are provided on the horizontal part 41, and the shapes of the first hole 44 and the second hole 45 are both rectangular, the first hole 44 is located on the left side, and is consistent with the longitudinal cross-sectional dimensions of the special cigarettes transported by the special cigarette transport channel 1, and the second hole 45 is located on the right side, and is consistent with the longitudinal cross-sectional dimensions of the ordinary cigarettes transported by the ordinary cigarette transport channel 2. Thus, when the staggered cigarette block 4, driven by the connecting rod 6, moves to the left and pauses, a special cigarette from the special cigarette conveying channel 1 falls into the left hole of the staggered cigarette block 4. The staggered cigarette block 4 then moves to the right. When the staggered cigarette block moves to the right and pauses, the special cigarette falls into the staggered cigarette conveying channel 3. Simultaneously, an ordinary cigarette from the ordinary cigarette conveying channel 2 falls into the right hole of the staggered cigarette block 4. Similarly, when the staggered cigarette block 4 moves to the left again, the ordinary cigarette falls into the staggered cigarette conveying channel 3, and the special cigarette from the special cigarette conveying channel 1 falls into the left hole of the staggered cigarette block 4. Under the action of the cam 5, the connecting rod 6 drives the staggered cigarette block 4 to move left and right, thereby achieving the purpose of alternating special cigarettes and ordinary cigarettes entering the staggered cigarette conveying channel 3, thereby realizing the staggered arrangement of special cigarettes.

[0035] The embodiment of the present invention provides a special cigarette staggered device, in which the cigarette staggered block can move back and forth left and right between the lower positions corresponding to the special cigarette conveying channel and the ordinary cigarette conveying channel. Therefore, under the action of the cigarette staggered block, the special cigarette conveying channel and the ordinary cigarette conveying channel alternately convey cigarettes as staggered cigarette conveying channels, thereby realizing staggered arrangement of special cigarettes; the packaging machine can be used to directly realize the accurate placement of special cigarettes in the middle position of the upper layer of the 5*5 double-layer arranged cigarette group, so that ordinary cigarettes and special cigarettes can be arranged in staggered layers, reducing labor input; the device operates stably, can meet the needs of a pack of 10 cigarettes, and intersperse a special cigarette at a specific position, and can also flexibly adapt to the conveying and packaging of 10 uniform cigarettes.
