[0026] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the present invention.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 As a specific implementation method, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a channel structure for a cigarette packaging machine, including a first channel 1, the first channel 1 including an outlet 11 and an inlet 10, a second channel 2 is provided on one side of the outlet 11, the first channel 1 includes a horizontally arranged bottom surface 18, a first plate 14 is provided on the bottom surface 18; a plurality of protrusions 3 are evenly spaced on the upper surface of the first plate 14 at least along the path from the inlet 10 to the outlet 11, and the upper end of the protrusions 3 is an arc structure.

[0029] Specifically, the channel structure provided in this application includes a first channel 1, which is a U-shaped groove structure used for guiding and conveying cigarette packaging boxes. The second channel 2 includes two spaced-apart guide rails 20, with an installation area 21 between the two guide rails 20 for mounting a conveyor belt. During operation, one end of the conveyor belt is connected to the packaging machine, and the other end is connected to the inlet 10, used to convey cigarettes packaged in glass film to the first channel 1, where they enter through the inlet 10. The cigarette packaging then enters through the inlet 10 and is conveyed by the force of the conveyor belt. In practical applications, the outlet 11 and the inlet 10 can be arranged opposite each other. This method allows the cigarette packaging to be directly pushed to the outlet 11 by the thrust of the conveyor belt. This application also includes a first plate 14 on the bottom surface 18 of the first channel 1. Figure 10 The first plate 14 is provided with a plurality of protrusions 3. The upper end of the protrusions 3 is an arc structure. This arrangement reduces the contact area between the bottom surface 18 and the fiberglass surface of the outer packaging, reduces friction, and facilitates the sliding of the cigarette box. In addition, the arc structure of the protrusions 3 ensures smooth contact with the glass film, reduces wear on the glass film, and effectively protects the appearance of the glass film.

[0030] Specifically, in practical applications, the first plate can be made of stainless steel grain plate. Stainless steel grain plate can reduce the probability of glass film scratching and is also easy to clean.

[0031] Furthermore, as an implementation method, the first plate 14 and the bottom surface 18 are detachably fixedly connected. Specifically, a threaded hole can be provided on the bottom surface 18, and a through hole can be provided on the first plate 14. Then, locking screws are used to fix the first plate 14 to the bottom surface 18. The detachable fixed connection facilitates the subsequent replacement of the first plate 14 and also facilitates the modification and addition of the first plate 14 to existing equipment.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] This application provides a channel structure for cigarette packaging paper. As a specific embodiment, it differs from Embodiment 1 in that, referring to... Figure 3 , Figure 4 Furthermore, on the side opposite to the outlet 11, the first channel 1 is also provided with a pusher end 12, the pusher end 12 and the outlet 11 are respectively located on both sides of the inlet 10; located at the pusher end 12, the bottom surface 18 is recessed downward to provide an installation groove 17, the first plate 14 includes a first bent part 141 that bends downward and extends into the installation groove 17, the first bent part 141 is detachably fixedly connected to the bottom of the installation groove 17.

[0034] In some embodiments, the first channel 1 is configured as a T-shaped structure, with the outlet 11 perpendicular to the inlet 10. A pusher end 12 is provided on the side opposite to the outlet 11, and a pusher plate (not shown in the figure) is provided on the pusher end 12. The pusher plate is driven by a cylinder or an electric push rod. In this way, after the cigarettes enter from the inlet 10, the material is pushed out from the outlet 11 by the pusher plate, which can avoid the phenomenon of excessive accumulation of cigarettes. In this embodiment, by providing an installation groove 17 on the pusher end 12, the first plate is provided with a first bending part 141. A pressure plate 13 is provided in the installation groove 17 to protect the first bending part 141, which can prevent the end of the first plate 14 near the pusher end 12 from tilting up, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of the pusher plate hitting the first plate 14 when it moves, and improving safety.

[0035] Furthermore, as a specific implementation, along the first direction from the outlet 11 to the push end 12, the first bent portion 141 is provided with at least one first strip-shaped hole 133, and the bottom surface 18 of the mounting groove 17 is provided with threaded holes that correspond one-to-one with the first strip-shaped holes 133. By providing the first strip-shaped holes, the first screw 142 can be threaded through multiple first strip-shaped holes 133 and connected to the threaded holes on the bottom surface 18 of the mounting groove 17 for pre-positioning of the first bent portion, which facilitates the subsequent installation of the pressure plate 13. By providing the first strip-shaped holes 133, the first plate 14 can be displaced and adjusted in the first direction, compensating for the fitting error caused when the first bent portion 141 is bent, and ensuring that the through holes on the first plate 14 correspond to the threaded holes on the bottom surface 18.

[0036] Furthermore, as a specific implementation method, refer to Figures 3-9 A pressure plate 13 is detachably fixed to the bottom surface 18 of the mounting groove 17, located above the bending portion. The pressure plate 13 has a pressing surface 132 facing the bending portion, and a pad 16 is provided between the pressing surface 132 and the upper surface of the first bending portion. Specifically, after the pressure plate 13 is fixedly installed in the mounting groove 17, the pressing surface 132 presses against the pad 16, and the pad 16 presses against the first bending portion 141, thereby effectively pressing the first bending portion 141 and effectively preventing the end of the first plate from warping.

[0037] Furthermore, as a specific implementation, steps 15 are provided on the bottom surface 18 of the mounting groove 17 on both sides adjacent to the bending portion. The pressure plate 13 is provided with a positioning surface 131 that mates with the upper surface of the two steps 15. The distance from the positioning surface 131 to the upper surface of the pressure plate 13 is greater than the distance from the upper surface of the steps 15 to the bottom surface 18. By providing steps 15, a boss 130 is provided on the lower surface of the pressure plate 13 between the two steps 15. The boss 130 is positioned by the side of the steps 15, which facilitates the positioning and installation of the pressure plate 13. Since the distance from the positioning surface 131 to the upper surface of the pressure plate 13 is greater than the distance from the upper surface of the steps 15 to the bottom surface 18, when the first plate 14 is installed, the highest point of the protrusion 3 on the upper surface of the first plate 14 is also lower than the upper surface of the pressure plate 13. The upper surface of the pressure plate 13 can guide the movable push plate horizontally, further reducing the probability of the push plate colliding with the first pressure plate 13.

[0038] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, refer to Figure 8 , Figure 9 Along the first direction, a plurality of second strip-shaped holes 1410 are spaced apart on the positioning surface 131. The length direction of the second strip-shaped holes 1410 is parallel to the first direction. The upper surface of the step 15 is provided with a plurality of second threaded holes corresponding to the plurality of second strip-shaped holes 1410. This arrangement facilitates the displacement adjustment of the pressure plate 13 in the first direction, compensating for the fitting error of the first bent portion 141.

[0039] Furthermore, the upper surface of the pressure plate 13 is also provided with a plurality of countersunk holes 1330 corresponding one-to-one with the plurality of second strip holes 1410. Specifically, by providing the countersunk holes 1330, space is provided for accommodating the head of the locking bolt.

[0040] Further, refer to Figure 10 The second channel 2 includes two guide rails 20 spaced apart. A second plate 22 is provided on the bottom surface 18 of the guide rails 20, and a plurality of protrusions 3 are evenly spaced on the second plate 22. Specifically, by providing the second plate 22, the same effect as the first plate 14 is achieved, reducing the wear of the outer glass film of the cigarette packaging box.

[0041] Furthermore, as a specific implementation, along the interval direction of the two guide rails 20, a second bending portion 221 and a third bending portion 222 are respectively provided on both sides of the second plate 22. A relief groove 201 adapted to the second bending portion 221 is provided on the bottom surface 18 of the guide rail 20. Specifically, the third bending portion 222 contacts the side of the guide rail 20. By providing the second bending portion 221 and the third bending portion 222, the rigidity of the second plate 22 is improved, and the probability of warping is reduced. Multiple countersunk holes are provided on the third bending portion 222, and multiple threaded holes corresponding to the countersunk holes are provided on the side of the guide rail 20. The second plate 22 is locked in place by a tapered screw 223.

[0042] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
