Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cigarette sorting technology, and in particular to a cleaning and replenishment cigarette conveying device for a non-standard cigarette sorting system. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, tobacco companies sort cigarettes before they leave the warehouse, using semi-automated equipment and manual labor to complete the sorting process. However, to meet consumer demand, the types and specifications of cigarettes are becoming increasingly diverse. Generally, cigarettes with standardized packaging are easier to sort, as the quantity per carton is fixed, making the process smooth and efficient. With the development of cigarette retail, more and more customers are choosing cigarettes with unique packaging to meet their personalized needs, prompting industrial enterprises to produce cigarettes with different packaging to adapt to this demand. This trend has resulted in a continuous increase in the variety and quantity of uniquely shaped cigarettes, which traditional sorting methods can no longer meet.

[0003] To address the aforementioned technical problems, utility model patent CN205855135U discloses an auxiliary cigarette replenishment device for a non-standard cigarette sorting system. This device replenishes cigarettes by placing them in a storage location, detecting the replenishment quantity via a photoelectric switch, and controlling the device's start and stop via a PLC controller. However, in practical use, after a period of use, debris and dust accumulate on the conveyor belt surface. If not cleaned promptly, this dust will adhere to the outside of the cigarette packs, affecting their cleanliness. Summary of the Invention
