It should be noted that, unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values ​​of the components and steps set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention.

[0029] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the invention or its application or use.

[0030] Techniques, methods, and equipment known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0031] In all the examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a C-shaped cigarette pack conveying device, including: a conveying component 1, a connecting component 2, and a guiding component 3.

[0033] The transmission component 1 includes two arc-shaped side plates 11, an outer arc plate 12, and an inner arc plate 13, all of which are C-shaped. The two ends of the outer arc plate 12 and the two ends of the inner arc plate 13 are respectively connected to the first end and the second end of the two arc-shaped side plates 11 to form a transmission channel. A notch 14 is provided on the inner arc plate 13, and an opening 15 communicating with the notch 14 is provided on the arc-shaped side plate 11.

[0034] Specifically, the vertical cross-section of the arc-shaped side plate 11, the outer arc plate 12, and the inner arc plate 13 is C-shaped. There is a gap between the outer arc plate 12 and the inner arc plate 13, and the gap between the outer arc plate 12 and the inner arc plate 13 is slightly larger than the thickness of the cigarette pack, so that the cigarette pack can move smoothly in the conveying channel.

[0035] Furthermore, a conveyor belt can be installed inside the conveying channel to transport the cigarette packs.

[0036] The connecting component 2 is disposed on the outer arc plate 12 and located on one side of the notch 14 and the opening 15. The connecting component 2 is used to close or open the notch 14 and the opening 15.

[0037] The guide assembly 3 includes a guide block 31 and a handle 32. The handle 32 is connected to the top of the guide block 31. In use, the guide block 31 is inserted into the conveying channel through the notch 14 to guide the cigarette pack in the conveying channel out through the opening 15.

[0038] Specifically, the handle 32 has a T-shaped structure. The operator can insert the fingers of the handle 32 into the conveying channel through the notch 14 to move the cigarette packs in the conveying channel, causing some of the cigarette packs to detach from the conveying channel, thus creating space for the guide block 31 to be inserted between the cigarette packs, making it more convenient to use.

[0039] When it is necessary to remove the defective cigarette packs from the conveying channel, the operator first acts on the connecting component 2 to open the opening 15 and the notch 14. Then, the operator acts on the handle 32 to insert the handle 32 into the notch 14, so that the guide block 31 is located in the conveying channel and abuts against the outer arc plate 12. Then, the transmission component 1 continues to convey the cigarette packs, so that the defective cigarette packs in the conveying channel are discharged from the opening 15 under the guidance of the guide block 31.

[0040] When all the defective cigarette packs have been removed, the operator will remove the guide block 31 from the conveying channel and close the notch 14 and opening 15 of the connecting assembly 2 to allow the conveying channel to operate normally.

[0041] This invention connects the two ends of the outer arc plate 12 and the two ends of the inner arc plate 13 to the first and second ends of the two arc-shaped side plates 11, respectively, to form a conveying channel. An opening 15 communicating with a notch 14 is provided on the arc-shaped side plates 11, allowing the handle 32 to connect to the top of the guide block 31. When it is necessary to remove defective cigarette packs from the conveying channel, the operator first applies force to the connecting component 2, causing it to open the opening 15 and the notch 14. Then, the operator applies force to the handle 32, causing the guide block 31 to be inserted into the conveying channel through the notch 14. The defective cigarette packs in the conveying channel are then guided out through the opening 15 by the guide block 31. The design is simple, easy to use, reduces the operator's workload, and improves work efficiency.

[0042] In one embodiment of the C-shaped cigarette pack conveying device of this utility model, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the sidewall of the guide block 31 is arc-shaped, and the width of the guide block 31 gradually increases from the first end of the guide block 31 to the second end of the guide block 31. The maximum width of the guide block 31 is equal to the width of the conveying channel.

[0043] This invention sets the width of the guide block 31 to gradually increase from the first end of the guide block 31 to the second end of the guide block 31, and sets the maximum width of the guide block 31 to be equal to the width of the conveying channel. This allows the guide block 31 to stably guide the defective cigarette packs out of the opening 15 without damaging the appearance of the defective cigarette packs.

[0044] In one embodiment of the C-shaped cigarette pack conveying device of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, the guide assembly 3 also includes a locking block 33, which is disposed between the guide block 31 and the handle 32. The bottom of the locking block 33 is provided with a locking groove 34, which engages with the inner arc plate 13 located at the notch 14.

[0045] Specifically, when the operator places the guide block 31 in the conveying channel, the bottom locking groove 34 of the locking block 33 engages with the inner arc plate 13 located at the notch 14, thereby providing a limiting effect on the guide block 31 and preventing the guide block 31 from moving and causing the cigarette pack to get stuck at the opening 15.

[0046] In one embodiment of the C-shaped cigarette pack conveying device of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the connecting assembly 2 includes a sealing plate 21, a connecting plate 22, and a rotating part. The rotating part is disposed on the outer arc plate 12 and is connected to the connecting plate 22. The connecting plate 22 is connected to the sealing plate 21. The sealing plate 21 and the connecting plate 22 are used to seal the notch 14 and the opening 15.

[0047] Specifically, the length of opening 15 is greater than the length of notch 14. This design allows the cigarette pack to be smoothly discharged from opening 15.

[0048] The length of the sealing plate 21 is less than the length of the connecting plate 22, and the length and width of the sealing plate 21 are equal to the length and width of the notch 14, while the length and width of the connecting plate 22 are equal to the length and width of the opening 15.

[0049] This utility model uses a rotating part to drive the connecting plate 22 to rotate, thereby enabling the sealing plate 21 and the connecting plate 22 to cover the notch 14 and the opening 15, or to move out of the notch 14 and the opening 15. It has a simple structure, is easy to install, and is highly practical.

[0050] In one embodiment of the C-shaped cigarette pack conveying device of this utility model, such as Figure 5 As shown, the length of the connecting plate 22 is greater than the length of the sealing plate 21, and protrusions 23 are provided on both sides of the notch 14.

[0051] The sealing plate 21 is provided with a snap-fit ​​plate 24. Both ends of the sealing plate 21 abut against the protrusion 23, and the snap-fit ​​plate 24 is located in the notch 14.

[0052] Specifically, during use, the two ends of the sealing plate 21 abut against the protrusion 23, and the snap-fit ​​plate 24 is inserted into the notch 14, thereby increasing the stability of the connection between the sealing plate 21 and the notch 14.

[0053] In one embodiment of the C-shaped cigarette pack conveying device of this utility model, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the rotating part includes a first mounting plate and a second mounting plate 25. The first mounting plate is disposed on the outer arc plate 12, and the second mounting plate 25 is disposed on the arc-shaped side plate 11. The first mounting plate and the second mounting plate 25 are hinged together. This arrangement allows the second mounting plate 25 to rotate around the first mounting plate, thereby driving the sealing plate 21 and the connecting plate 22 to rotate.

[0054] It should be noted that the hinged connection between the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate 25 is a conventional technique and will not be described here.

[0055] In one embodiment of the C-shaped cigarette pack conveying device of this utility model, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the rotating part also includes a lug 26 and a fastening bolt 27. The lug 26 is disposed on the inner arc plate 13, and the fastening bolt 27 passes through the second mounting plate 25, the arc-shaped side plate 11, and the lug 26. Through the mutual cooperation of the fastening bolt 27 and the lug 26, the mutual hinge between the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate 25 is matched, and the fixation between the arc-shaped side plate 11 and the inner arc plate 13 is completed. The structure is simple, easy to use, and highly practical.
