[0002] In the modern packaging industry, after cigarettes or cigarette boxes are produced, they are neatly placed in cigarette boxes, which are then arranged in cardboard boxes to complete the packaging. Traditional cardboard box conveying methods for cigarette boxes mostly use a single conveyor belt or manual handling. For multi-stage conveying and processing, there are problems such as low efficiency, low degree of automation, and poor flexibility. With the expansion of production scale and the popularization of automated production lines, the requirements for cardboard box conveying systems are also increasing. There is a need for an automated conveyor line that can efficiently and flexibly complete the feeding, conveying, and discharging of cardboard boxes. Summary of the Invention

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this embodiment of the invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0031] In this embodiment of the utility model, a circulating conveyor line for cigarette cartons is provided for conveying cartons containing cigarette boxes. It includes a base 100, a first feeding mechanism 200, a second feeding mechanism 300, a discharging mechanism 400, an upper conveyor belt 500, and a lower conveyor belt 510. The base 100 is sequentially equipped with a movable upper conveyor belt 500 and a lower conveyor belt 510, with the upper conveyor belt 500 located above the lower conveyor belt 510. Support frames 110 are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the base 100. The first feeding mechanism 200 and the second feeding mechanism 300 are both located on the left support frame 110 and can move vertically. The discharging mechanism 400 is located on the right support frame 110 and can move vertically. The first feeding mechanism 200 includes a first platform 210, a first drive motor 220, a first movable wheel 230, and a first track 240. The first platform 210 can be raised and lowered on the support frame 110 on the left side. The lower end of the first platform 210 is connected to the first drive motor 220, and the drive end of the first drive motor 220 is connected to the first movable wheel 230. The first movable wheel 230 is engaged with the first track 240, so that the first track 240 rotates to pull the carton.

[0032] Specifically, the core of this utility model's cigarette carton circulating conveyor system lies in its modular and adjustable design. A first drive motor 220 on the first platform 210 drives the first movable wheel 230, which in turn drives the first track 240 to rotate. The first platform 210 is height-adjustable to accommodate cartons of different heights, ensuring the cartons enter the conveyor system smoothly. The first feeding mechanism 200 and the second feeding mechanism 300 have similar structures but are located in different positions, used to increase feeding flexibility or handle different batches of cartons. The discharging mechanism 400 also has a lifting function and can be adjusted according to the height of downstream equipment, ensuring the cartons are accurately and smoothly output to the next process. In practical use: workers can place cartons on the first feeding mechanism 200, which transports them via the first track 240 to the upper conveyor belt 500. The discharging mechanism 400 then raises the cartons to the same height to receive and transport them. Workers can also place different batches (of different shapes or heights) of cartons on the second feeding mechanism 300, with similar functionality to the first feeding mechanism 200. The double-layer conveyor belt design significantly improves carton conveying efficiency and shortens the production cycle. Both the feeding mechanism 200 and the discharging mechanism 400 are height-adjustable to accommodate carton conveying needs of different heights and sizes. Furthermore, the double-layer structure effectively utilizes space, reducing floor space and making it suitable for compact production line layouts.

[0033] In another embodiment of the utility model, the second feeding mechanism 300 includes a second platform 310, a second drive motor 320, a second movable wheel 330, and a second track 340. The second platform 310 is vertically movable on the support frame 110 on the left side. The lower end of the second platform 310 is connected to the second drive motor 320, and the drive end of the second drive motor 320 is connected to the second movable wheel 330. The second movable wheel 330 is engaged with the second track 340, causing the second track 340 to rotate and drive the carton to move. The presence of the second feeding mechanism 300 enables the conveyor system to process cartons from two different locations simultaneously, improving the flexibility and efficiency of the production line. By increasing the feeding points, waiting time and the number of manual handling operations are reduced, thereby improving overall production efficiency.

[0034] In another embodiment of the utility model, the discharging mechanism 400 includes a third platform 410, a third drive motor 420, a third movable wheel 430, and a third track 440. The third platform 410 is movable on the support frame 110 on the right side. The lower end of the third platform 410 is connected to the third drive motor 420, and the drive end of the third drive motor 420 is connected to the third movable wheel 430. The third movable wheel 430 is engaged with the third track 440, so that the third track 440 rotates to drive the carton to move.

[0035] In another embodiment of the utility model, the base 100 is equipped with an upper motor 520 and a lower motor 530. The drive end of the upper motor 520 is connected to the drive end of the lower conveyor belt 510 to drive the upper conveyor belt 500, and the drive end of the lower motor 530 is connected to the drive end of the lower conveyor belt 510 to drive the lower conveyor belt 510. The height of the third platform 410 is adjusted manually or automatically according to the height requirements of the collection container or the next process to ensure that the cartons can fall smoothly into or align with the target position. It can be raised and lowered to collect cartons from the upper conveyor belt 500 and the lower conveyor belt 510. As the third conveyor belt 440 rotates, the cartons are smoothly conveyed forward until they reach the preset discharge port.

[0036] In another embodiment of the utility model, a lifting mechanism 600 is provided on the left support frame 110. The lifting mechanism 600 includes a lifting motor 610, a lead screw 620, a slider 630, a slide rail 640, and a connecting plate 650. The support frame 110 has two lead screws 620, one upper and one lower, with their driving ends connected to the two lifting motors 610 respectively. One end of the connecting plate 650 is connected to the lead screw 620, and the other end is connected to either the first feeding mechanism 200 or the second feeding mechanism 300. The support frame 110 has a slide rail 640, and the bottom end of the connecting plate 650 is connected to the slider 630, which slides on the slide rail 640. The right support frame 110 has the lifting mechanism 600, and this support frame 110 has only one lead screw 620. Specifically, the height adjustment of the feeding mechanism and the discharging mechanism 400 can be easily achieved through the setting of the lifting mechanism 600. The first feeding mechanism 200 and the second feeding mechanism 300 are controlled in segments, which increases the degree of freedom of adjustment.

[0037] In another embodiment of the utility model, a blocking member 700 is installed on the support frame 110 and the blocking member 700 is located below the second feeding mechanism 300 for buffering.

[0038] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
