The first threaded plate 305 slides and fits against the top surface of the horizontal guide rail 201. The first bolt 306 is threadedly connected to the first threaded plate 305. The first bolt 306 does not require a nut. Its threaded part can pass through the first threaded plate 305 and abut against the horizontal guide rail 201. The operator can manually tighten the first bolt 306 to restrict the sliding of the first slide rod 301 and fix the first slide rod 301 to the horizontal guide rail 201.

[0041] In one embodiment, the baffle assembly 400 adopts a modular splicing structure, including at least one basic baffle unit and an expandable extension baffle unit. The basic baffle unit and the expandable extension baffle unit are vertically stacked and connected through a concave-convex fitting structure. Specifically, it can be composed of a first baffle 402 and multiple second baffles 401 spliced ​​together. Regardless of the number of second baffles 401, the first baffle 402 should always be on top during assembly. A first fixing ring 406 is fixed to the top of the first baffle 402. The concave-convex fitting structure includes a first T-shaped part 403 fixing the bottom of the first baffle 402. A first T-shaped part 403 is formed on the bottom surface of the first T-shaped part 403. The first T-shaped connecting groove 407 and the top of the second baffle 401 are fixed with T-shaped splicing parts 405. The T-shaped splicing parts 405 can be slidably inserted into the first T-shaped connecting groove 407. The bottom of the second baffle 401 is fixed with a second T-shaped part 408. The bottom surface of the second T-shaped part 408 is provided with a second T-shaped connecting groove 404. When there are two second baffles 401, the T-shaped splicing part 405 at the top of one second baffle 401 can be slidably inserted into the second T-shaped connecting groove 404 at the bottom of the other second baffle 401 for splicing. Then, the T-shaped splicing part 405 of the second baffle 401 at the top is slidably inserted into the first T-shaped connecting groove 407 for assembly.

[0042] In one embodiment, the strap assembly 500 includes a strap 501 with D-rings 505 at both ends. One end of the strap 501 is fixed to one of the D-rings 505, and the other end passes through an adjusting buckle 502, then through the other D-ring 505, and is then fixed to the adjusting buckle 502. In this embodiment, the adjusting buckle 502 is a non-slip D-ring buckle. Figure 11 Both D-rings 505 are fixed to the elastic rope 503, and hooks 504 are fixed to both ends of the elastic rope 503.

[0043] In one embodiment, each of the two second guide rails 700 has a third T-slot 701 at one end close to each other. The second sliding rod assembly 600 includes a second sliding rod 603. The two ends of the second sliding rod 603 are slidably inserted into the two third T-slots 701 respectively. The two ends of the second sliding rod 603 are fixed with second threaded plates 601. The two second threaded plates 601 are provided with second bolts 602. The second bolts 602 are threadedly connected to the second threaded plates 601 and can penetrate the second threaded plates 601 to abut against the second guide rails 700, thereby restricting the sliding of the second sliding rod 603.

[0044] In one embodiment, a plurality of sliding blocks 802 are slidably disposed on the second slide bar 603, and a second fixed hanging ring 801 is fixed on the sliding block 802. The hook 504 at one end of the strap assembly 500 can be hooked on the second fixed hanging ring 801, and the hook 504 at the other end is hooked on the first fixed hanging ring 406.

[0045] The following is a method for using a palletizing device to reduce damage to irregularly shaped cigarettes:

[0046] First, the staff places cigarette boxes and cigarette packs in the carriage 100 to stack them into a cigarette stack. Then, according to the size of the cigarette stack, the height of the second sliding rod assembly 600 is adjusted, and the first sliding rod assembly 300 is slidably adjusted so that the first sliding rod assembly 300 is located in front of the cigarette stack. After adjusting the position, the first bolt 306 and the second bolt 602 are tightened to restrict the sliding of the first sliding rod 301 and the second sliding rod 603.

[0047] Then, select an appropriate number of second baffles 401 and first baffles 402 based on the height of the cigarette stack. For example, when the cigarette stack is not high, the second baffle 401 can be omitted, and the first baffle 402 can be directly inserted into the first sliding rod 301. When the cigarette stack is 1.5 times higher than the second baffle 401, a combination of one second baffle 401 and one first baffle 402 can be used to insert it into the first sliding rod 301. Then, multiple sets of second baffles 401 and first baffles 402 can be inserted into the first sliding rod 301. Figures 1 to 3As shown, multiple strap assemblies 500 are then hung between the corresponding first fixing loop 406 and second fixing loop 801, respectively. Please refer to... Figure 2 and Figure 3 .

[0048] Finally, by sliding the adjustment buckle 502 on the strap 501 to adjust the length of the strap 501, the cigarette stack is confined within the space formed by the baffle assembly 400 and the interior of the carriage, preventing the cigarette stack from collapsing and causing damage.
