[0055] Open the component, which is used to drive the cover 2 to open;

[0056] When the cover 2 is rotated open, the lower side of the cover 2 is located in the inclined groove 5 and abuts against the inclined surface 6.

[0057] In this technical solution, when it is necessary to pack soft pack cigarettes into hard packs, the unopened box body 1 is first inserted into the positioning groove 4 of the positioning mold 3. Since the size of the positioning groove 4 matches the box body 1 of the hard pack, the box body 1 will not wobble when placed in the positioning groove 4, and the positioning groove 4 has a positioning effect on the box body 1.

[0058] The top cover of the hard case can be opened using an externally mounted robotic arm or suction cup (not shown in the figure; this is existing technology and will not be elaborated upon here). After the top cover of the hard case is rotated open, the side of the top cover facing the rotating end will move towards the inclined groove 5, so that the end of the top cover near the rotating end will enter the inclined groove 5. At the same time, since the inclined groove 5 has an inclined surface 6, the end of the top cover near the rotating end will abut against the inclined surface 6, thereby limiting the opening angle of the top cover and preventing the top cover from being opened too much.

[0059] Through this structural design, by setting the positioning mold 3 and the inclined groove 5, the positioning groove 4 can position the left and right movement of the box body 1 after the hard box is placed in the positioning mold 3, so as to prevent the box body 1 from wobbling left and right when it is placed in the positioning groove 4. At the same time, since the inclined groove 5 has an inclined surface 6, the end of the top cover near the rotating end will abut against the inclined surface 6, thereby limiting the opening angle of the top cover and preventing the top cover from being opened too much and affecting the production effect.
