[0030] In this embodiment, when the cigarette pack is conveyed downward to the set position, the receiving and conveying mechanism 3 receives a signal, and the receiving and conveying motor 311 runs to drive the crank connecting rod assembly 312 to rotate, thereby moving the push rod 32 up and down. The push rod 32 is connected to the crank connecting rod assembly 312 by a shaft hinge. The push rod 32 moves within the flange seat. The guide rail constrains the push rod 32 to move only in the vertical direction. The push rod 32 is fixed to the receiving and conveying frame 33 with screws. The push rod 32 drives the receiving and conveying frame 33 to move up and down to complete the receiving and conveying of the upper cigarette pack. The receiving and conveying frame 33 is provided with a step 331 for receiving and fixing the upper cigarette pack. After the receiving and conveying mechanism 3 reaches the set position, the pushing mechanism 4 operates, started by the pushing motor 411, which drives the gear and rack assembly 412. One end of the rack is fixed to the push plate 421 with screws. The rack drives the push plate 421 to move back and forth. The push plate 421 and the push plate 422 are connected by screws. The push plate 422 pushes the upper and lower cigarette packs forward. The upper cigarette pack is pushed into the receiving frame 33, and the lower cigarette pack is pushed into the conveyor belt 21 to enter the boxing process. After the lower cigarette pack is boxed, the receiving and conveying mechanism 3 drives the receiving frame 33 to move downwards.
