DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0029] The technical solutions of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

In addition, if the terms "first", "second", "third" appear, they are only for the purpose of description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0031] Embodiment 1:
[0032] As Figure 1 , 6In the shown embodiment, the support 102 is used to mount the functional components of the guiding device, and to mount the assembled guiding device at the conveying belt. Specifically, the support 102 can be made of high-strength materials such as aluminum alloy, steel plate, etc. The support 102 can be provided with a mounting seat 105, and the body of the support 102 is clamped at the conveying belt through the mounting seat 105 and fastened by bolts.
[0033] The two guiding pieces 108 provided at the support 102 are parallel to the pushing direction of the cigarettes, and when the cigarettes enter between the two guiding pieces 108, the cigarettes and the conveying direction of the conveying belt are kept perpendicular under the guidance of the two guiding pieces 108. The two guiding pieces 108 are fixed at the support 102 by bolts. In order to adapt to the shape and size of regular cigarettes, slim cigarettes, slim cigarettes, and square box cigarettes, a waist hole is provided at each guiding piece 108, and the distance between the two guiding pieces 108 can be adjusted through the waist hole at each guiding piece 108.
[0034] The buffer assembly is used to slow down the cigarettes pushed out from the vertical sorting machine. Specifically, the buffer assembly includes a baffle 107 provided between the two guiding pieces 108 for receiving the pushed-out cigarettes. When the cigarettes contact the baffle 107, the spring 106 provided between the baffle 107 and the support 102 is compressed, and the reaction force provided by the spring 106 slows down the pushed-out cigarettes until they stop.
[0035] The position sensor 114 is provided at the conveying belt for detecting whether there are cigarettes at the front end region and the lower region of the guiding device. The detection region of the position sensor 114 should consider the running speed of the conveying belt and the time required for the cigarettes to be pushed out and smoothly fall into the conveying belt. These two factors can prevent the pushed-out cigarettes from colliding with other cigarettes. In use, when the position sensor 114 is triggered, the controller transmits the trigger signal to the vertical sorting machine station where the guiding device is located, and the station will not perform the pushing action on the cigarettes.
[0036] The position sensor 114 can be any one of the existing photoelectric sensor, laser sensor, or capacitive sensor.
[0037] In order to facilitate observation of the state of the cigarettes during work, the two guiding pieces 108 and the push plate 109 are made of transparent acrylic material.
[0038] The working principle of the guiding device is as follows: the pushed cigarette enters the two guiding pieces 108, and is kept in a direction perpendicular to the movement direction of the conveying belt under the guidance of the two guiding pieces 108, and is slowed down by the buffer assembly, so that the speed of the cigarette in the direction perpendicular to the movement direction of the conveying belt is 0, and the cigarette falls onto the conveying belt under the action of its own gravity, and passes through the gap between the guiding piece 108 and the conveying belt under the driving of the conveying belt.
[0039] Embodiment 2
[0040] On the basis of Embodiment 1, in the embodiment shown in Figure 2 In order to ensure that the cigarette falls onto the conveying belt in a horizontal posture, a push rod 101 is arranged at the support 102, the push rod 101 is fixed on the support 102 by bolts, a push plate 109 is arranged at the telescopic rod of the push rod 101, and the push plate 109 is located between the two guiding pieces 108. A contact sensor is arranged at the baffle 107, and when the cigarette pushed from the work station contacts the push plate 109, the contact sensor is triggered, and the triggering signal is transmitted to the controller, and the controller sends a pushing action instruction to the push rod 101, so that the push plate 109 pushes the cigarette to fall onto the conveying belt in a horizontal posture.
[0041] The contact sensor can adopt a contact switch or a piezoelectric sensor in the prior art. In order to ensure the rapidity of the action of the push rod 101, the push rod 101 can adopt a pneumatic push rod.
[0042] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 In order to reduce the mass of the push plate 109 to reduce the load of the push rod 101, a plurality of through holes are arranged at the push plate 109.
[0043] Embodiment 3
[0044] On the basis of Embodiment 1 or 2, in the embodiment shown in Figure 3 In order to make the baffle 107 always contact the cigarette at a fixed angle, a guide rod 104 is arranged at the baffle 107, and a guide sleeve 103 cooperating with the guide rod 104 is arranged at the support 102. In assembly, the spring 106 is sleeved on the guide rod 104, one end of the guide rod 104 is inserted into the guide sleeve 103 and protrudes from the other end of the guide sleeve 103, and the limiting ring 110 is threadedly connected at the end of the guide rod 104, and the limiting ring 110 can prevent the guide rod 104 from being pulled out of the guide sleeve 103.
[0045] In order to reduce the friction between the guide sleeve 103 and the guide rod 104, and in view of the self-lubricating advantage of polytetrafluoroethylene, a polytetrafluoroethylene coating is arranged on the surfaces of the guide rod 104 and the guide sleeve 103 in contact with each other.
[0046] Embodiment 4
[0047] Based on Example 3, such as Figure 4 , 5 In the illustrated embodiment, to prevent the spring 106 of the buffer assembly from rebounding too quickly and causing the cigarette to gain reverse speed after the cigarette's speed drops to 0, a damper is added in this embodiment. Specifically, the damper includes a cylinder 111. To improve assembly efficiency, one end of the cylinder 111 is threaded to the guide sleeve 103. The limiting ring 110 acts as a piston, and a sealing ring is provided on the circumferential surface of the limiting ring 110 to increase the airtightness between the limiting ring 110 and the inner wall of the cylinder 111. When the baffle 107 blocks the cigarette, the cylinder 111 is compressed, and the first one-way valve 112 at the other end of the cylinder 111 opens to discharge the air inside the cylinder 111. When the cylinder 111 returns to its original state, the second one-way valve 113 at the other end of the cylinder 111 opens to allow outside air to enter the cylinder 111.
[0048] The air flow rate of the first one-way valve 112 is greater than that of the second one-way valve 113, so that when the cylinder 111 is compressed, the damper will not exert excessive resistance on the limit ring 110. When the cylinder 111 returns to its original state, since the air flow rate of the second one-way valve 113 is less than that of the first one-way valve 112, the limit ring 110 will be subject to greater resistance due to atmospheric pressure, thereby preventing the spring 106 from rebounding quickly and causing the cigarette pack to gain reverse speed.
[0049] The above-described embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model, should be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
