[0035] When the photoelectric sensor 26 on the third conveying assembly 13 senses that the cigarette package product is in place, the second cylinder 19 of the fixing assembly 12 is actuated to drive the suction cup mounting plate 22 and the suction cup 25 to move in a linear displacement manner along the linear bearing 20 towards the cigarette package product, at the same time, the electromagnetic valve is opened, and the suction cup 25 is in a negative pressure adsorption state. When the suction cup 25 adsorbs the bottom surface of the product, the positioning of the cigarette package product is achieved, and a signal is sent when the vacuum value is reached. The first cylinder 17 is actuated to extend towards the product, driving the crank 16 and the rotating shaft 14 to rotate, so that the turnover assembly 2 carries the product to rotate as a whole, and the third conveying assembly 13 is connected with the second conveying assembly 3. When the first cylinder 17 extends to the position, the front magnetic sensor 171 of the cylinder is responsive, the electromagnetic valve is closed to the air source of the suction cup 25, the telescopic rod of the second cylinder 19 is retracted, driving the suction cup mounting plate 22 and the suction cup to retreat to the original position, and after moving away from the cigarette package product, the linear module 28 drives the push plate 29 through the module slide seat to push the cigarette package product from the third conveying assembly 13 to the position of the second conveying assembly 3 for code spraying. When the product is pushed to the position, the module slide seat on the linear module 28 retreats to the original position with the push plate 29, the telescopic rod of the first cylinder 17 is retracted, and the rear magnetic sensor 172 of the cylinder is used to sense whether the first cylinder is retracted to the position. When the first cylinder 17 is retracted, the crank 16 and the rotating shaft 14 are reversely rotated, the turnover assembly 2 is reversely turned to the original position, and is connected with the first conveying assembly 1 to wait for the next product, and the turnover process is completed.
