[0024] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0025] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a chain sorting mechanism includes a floating frame 1, a tensioning mechanism 2, a chain 3, a swing arm A4, a swing arm frame 5, a swing arm B6, a sprocket 7, and a support rod 8. It mainly considers the size of cigarette boxes of the same specification, and multiple sorting mechanisms sort simultaneously. The detection switch confirms the sorting before sorting and the sorting and conveying can be freely adjusted. The sorting mechanism drives the cigarette boxes to the subsequent conveying action.

[0026] Working principle:

[0027] First, install the tensioning mechanism 2 on the left end of the floating frame 1, with the adjusting nut facing outwards. The sprocket 7 is slidably connected to the floating frame via the guide rail. Install the chain 3 on the left and right sprockets 7 and adjust it to a suitable tension with a sag of ≤15mm via the tensioning mechanism. Fix the swing arms A4 and B6 to the chain links via pins and connect the hinged ends to the swing arm frame 5. Fix the support rod 8 at the bottom of the floating frame and install it to the logistics equipment frame via anchor bolts.

[0028] When a carton is conveyed to the sorting position, a detection switch triggers a signal, causing the geared motor to drive the sprocket 7 to rotate. The chain 3 then drives the swing arms A4 and B6 to swing outwards, pushing the carton onto the side conveyor belt. After sorting, the swing arms return to their original position with the chain. When multiple mechanisms operate synchronously, a synchronization shaft ensures consistent swing of the swing arms, adapting to the sorting of wide-width cartons.

[0029] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.

[0030] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This way of describing the specification is only for clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment have been appropriately combined to form other embodiments that are easy for those skilled in the art to understand.
