The outer side of the adjustment assembly 22 along the first direction X can abut against the inner side of the guide rail group 1, and the length of the adjustment assembly 22 along the first direction X is adjustable to adjust the gauge of the guide rail group 1. The guide rail group 1 can be adjusted to different distances by using a single guide rail adjustment fixture 2, which improves adjustment efficiency and saves costs. At the same time, the length of the adjustment assembly 22 can be flexibly adjusted, making the gauge adjustment of the guide rail group 1 more accurate and convenient, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0031] Specifically, the tooling seat 21 is a cubic structure. The bottom of the tooling seat 21 can form a detachable connection with the cigarette pack conveying mechanism 3, so that it is fixed in the guide rail group 1.

After the adjustment component 22 is adjusted to a suitable length according to the size of the cigarette pack 4 to be conveyed, the adjustment component 22 is set between the guide rail groups 1 through the tooling seat 21, and the inner side surface of the guide rail group 1 is adjusted to abut against the two outer side surfaces of the adjustment component 22 along the first direction X. When the size of the product is different, the length of the adjustment component 22 along the first direction X can be adjusted synchronously, thereby realizing accurate and flexible adjustment of the track gauge of the guide rail group 1.

[0032] Optionally, the adjustment assembly 22 includes a first adjustment block 221 and a second adjustment block 222, and the opposite sides of the first adjustment block 221 and the second adjustment block 222 are respectively abutted against the inner side of the guide rail group 1, and at least one of the first adjustment block 221 and the second adjustment block 222 can be adjusted in position along the first direction X, so that the length of the adjustment assembly 22 along the first direction X is adjustable.

[0033] Specifically, one side of the first adjustment block 221 along the first direction X abuts against the inner side of the first guide rail 11, and the side of the second adjustment block 222 facing away from the first guide rail 11 abuts against the inner side of the second guide rail 12. In this embodiment, the first adjustment block 221 and the second adjustment block 222 are both adjustably connected to the tooling base 21 along the first direction X. In another embodiment, one of the first adjustment block 221 and the second adjustment block 222 may be adjustably connected to the tooling base 21 along the first direction X, while the other may be fixedly connected to the tooling base 21. In other embodiments, the first adjustment block 221 may be fixedly connected to the tooling base 21, while the second adjustment block 222 may be slidably connected to the first adjustment block 221 along the first direction X.

[0034] Optionally, the adjustment component 22 also includes a mounting portion 223, which is connected to the workbench 21, and the first adjustment block 221 and the second adjustment block 222 are installed on opposite sides of the mounting portion 223 to prevent the first adjustment block 221 and the second adjustment block 222 from interfering with each other, thereby increasing the adjustment range of the adjustment component 22.

[0035] Specifically, the cross-section of the mounting portion 223 is convex. The mounting portion 223 extends along the first direction X and is connected to the tooling base 21 by screws to fix the mounting portion 223. In other embodiments, the mounting portion 223 can also be connected to the tooling base 21 by snapping or bonding.

[0036] Furthermore, the first adjustment block 221 and / or the second adjustment block 222 are slidably connected to the tooling seat 21 along the first direction X, so that the positions of the first adjustment block 221 and / or the second adjustment block 222 along the first direction X can be adjusted.

[0037] Specifically, the connection between the first adjustment block 221 and the second adjustment block 222 can be such that the first adjustment block 221 is slidably connected to one side of the mounting portion 223, while the second adjustment block 222 is fixedly connected to the side of the mounting portion 223 facing away from the first adjustment block 221. Alternatively, the second adjustment block 222 is slidably connected to one side of the mounting portion 223, while the first adjustment block 221 is fixedly connected to the side of the mounting portion 223 facing away from the second adjustment block 222. Alternatively, the first adjustment block 221 and the second adjustment block 222 are slidably connected to opposite sides of the mounting portion 223. In this embodiment, the sliding connection between the first adjustment block 221 and the second adjustment block 222 on opposite sides of the mounting portion 223 is used as an example for specific description. Threaded holes are provided at intervals on the mounting portion 223, and a first waist-shaped hole 226 is provided on the first adjustment block 221 along the first direction X. A screw is inserted through the first waist-shaped hole 226 and threadedly connected to the threaded hole to firmly secure the first adjustment block 221 to one side of the mounting portion 223. A second waist-shaped hole 227 is formed on the second adjustment block 222 along the first direction X. A screw is inserted into the second waist-shaped hole 227 from the side of the mounting portion 223 facing away from the first adjustment block 221 and is threadedly connected to the threaded hole to tightly fix the second adjustment block 222 to the side of the mounting portion 223 facing away from the first adjustment block 221. The presence of two first waist-shaped holes 226 and two second waist-shaped holes 227 allows for a more secure fixation of the first adjustment block 221 and the second adjustment block 222.

[0038] Furthermore, the adjustment component 22 has abutment surfaces on opposite sides along the first direction X that can form a surface fit with the inner side of the guide rail group 1, which can increase the contact area between the adjustment component 22 and the guide rail group 1, prevent the guide rail from deflecting, and improve the adjustment accuracy.

[0039] Specifically, the first adjustment block 221 and the second adjustment block 222 are L-shaped. One end of the L-shaped block is arranged along the first direction X for connecting to the mounting portion 223 , and the other end of the L-shaped block is parallel to the guide rail assembly 1 to form an abutment surface that can completely fit the guide rail.

[0040] Optionally, a center scale line 224 is provided at the center of the mounting portion 223 to serve as a reference for adjusting the adjustment component 22 .

[0041] Specifically, the center scale line 224 is a straight line along the second direction Y, and is disposed at the center position of the top of the mounting portion 223 .

[0042] Furthermore, the first adjustment block 221 and the second adjustment block 222 are provided with adjustment scale lines 225 symmetrical about the central scale line 224 along the first direction X.

[0043] Specifically, the adjustment scale lines 225 are straight lines along the second direction Y. The adjustment scale lines 225 are located at the tops of the first adjustment block 221 and the second adjustment block 222 and are symmetrical about the center scale line 224. Multiple adjustment scale lines 225 may be provided to improve adjustment accuracy. During adjustment, the adjustment scale lines 225 on the first adjustment block 221 and the second adjustment block 222 are aligned with the center scale line 224, thereby ensuring that the distances from the first guide rail 11 and the second guide rail 12 to the center scale line 224 are equal and that the first guide rail 11 and the second guide rail 12 are symmetrical about the conveyor belt 31.

[0044] Optionally, a first through groove 211 is provided at the bottom of the tooling seat 21 along the second direction Y, and the first through groove 211 is used to be clamped and fixed with the cigarette pack conveying mechanism 3 to fix the adjustment component 22 between the guide rail groups 1 to prevent inaccurate adjustment caused by directional deviation of the adjustment component 22.

[0045] Specifically, the first through slot 211 is a through slot along the second direction Y. The length of the first through slot 211 along the first direction X is the same as the length of the support plate 32 along the first direction X, so that the two can be fixed in a snap connection.

[0046] Furthermore, a second through slot 212 is formed at the bottom of the first through slot 211 along the second direction Y to avoid the cigarette pack conveying mechanism 3 .

[0047] Specifically, the second through groove 212 is a through groove along the second direction Y, and the length of the second through groove 212 along the first direction X is greater than the length of the conveyor belt 31 along the first direction X. When the first through groove 211 is clamped on the support plate 32, the second through groove 212 can avoid the conveyor belt 31 located above the support plate 32.

[0048] In another aspect, a cigarette pack conveying device is provided.
