[0031] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships, are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, features defined with "first," "second," etc., may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0033] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; 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; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances. Example 1

[0034] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 6 This embodiment describes a smoke baffle plate for a smoke storage room's lower smoke channel, comprising a plate body 1, a fixed shaft 21, and a handle 3.

[0035] The plate 1 is movably connected to the tobacco storage frame and is used to close one side of the lower tobacco channel. The lower center of the plate 1 has an opening 11 for discharging tobacco dust generated when the cigarette moves within the lower tobacco channel. In the lower tobacco channel, a tobacco dividing block 6 is installed at a position corresponding to the opening 11. The tobacco dividing block 6 is mounted on the back plate 7, thereby dividing the lower half of the lower tobacco channel into left and right channels. The plate 1 has a first state and a second state. The first state is a closed state, in which the plate 1 closes one side of the lower tobacco channel. The second state is an open state, in which the plate 1 is open, and one side of the lower tobacco channel is exposed. As the cigarette moves downwards, the non-mouthpiece end contacts the plate 1. Due to excessive tobacco filling, some tobacco overflows or falls off due to friction, resulting in some tobacco dust in the lower smoke channel. Most of the tobacco dust falls to the side of the tobacco distribution block 6 and concentrates at the opening 11. Operators can directly remove the tobacco dust through the opening 11, which reduces the accumulation of tobacco dust, improves cleaning efficiency, and effectively reduces the frequency of downtime caused by tobacco dust accumulation.

[0036] The opening 11 is inverted V-shaped, and the top outline of the corresponding smoke divider 6 is also inverted V-shaped. The internal cross-section of the lower smoke channel is consistent with that of the plate 1. The cigarette enters from the top, moves downward, and is finally separated by the smoke divider 6, thus being output from the left and right sides. Most of the smoke generated during the process will concentrate in the central area, so the smoke can be discharged through the opening 11. In addition, since the plate 1 is movably connected to the smoke storage frame, the operator can quickly clear the horizontal smoke in the lower smoke channel by opening the plate 1.

[0037] Specifically, the upper end of the plate 1 is provided with an upper fixed shaft 21 for dynamic connection with the tobacco storage frame. The plate 11 can rotate around the upper fixed shaft 21, so that the operator can easily open the plate 1.

[0038] For example, to facilitate opening the panel 1, in this embodiment, a handle 3 is provided on the side of the panel 1 facing away from the smoke channel. The operator can control the opening and closing of the panel 1 by holding the handle 3. When it is necessary to clean the horizontal smoke, the panel 1 can be opened directly to achieve quick operation and higher efficiency.

[0039] Please refer to [link / reference needed] for further information. Figure 2 In this embodiment, an upper fixing block 2 is installed on the upper end of the plate 1, and a fixing shaft 21 is provided at each end of the upper fixing block 2. One end of the fixing shaft 21 is embedded in the upper fixing block 2, and the other end is used to rotatably connect to the smoke storage frame. The upper fixing block 2 has three first mounting holes, and the plate 1 has holes corresponding to the first mounting holes. The first mounting holes are used to detachably install the upper fixing block 2 to the plate 1 by bolts.

[0040] In addition, please see Figure 1A handle fixing block 4 is detachably mounted on the plate 1; a handle 3 is provided at each end of the handle fixing block 4. The handle fixing block 4 has four second mounting holes, and the plate 1 has a space corresponding to the first mounting holes. The second mounting holes are used to detachably fix the handle fixing block 4 to the plate 1 with bolts.

[0041] Further, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The handle is connected to the handle fixing block 4 via a connecting rod 5. One end of the connecting rod 5 is provided with a first screw 51, and the other end with a second screw 52. A hexagonal prism-structured fastening sleeve 53 is fitted at the connection between the first screw 51 and the connecting rod 5. A first threaded hole 31, matching the second screw 52, ​​is opened at the center of one end of the handle 3. Second threaded holes 41, matching the first screw 51, are opened at the center of both ends of the handle fixing block 4. The fastening sleeve 53 allows the operator to tighten the connecting rod 5 using a wrench.

[0042] In addition, the handle fixing block 4 has multiple second mounting holes, which are used for detachable installation with the plate 1 by bolts. Example 2

[0043] To ensure smooth movement of cigarettes, this embodiment provides a smoke baffle plate for the smoke channel under the cigarette storage area. The difference from Embodiment 1 is that the plate 1 is made of plexiglass with a surface roughness ≤ Ra0.8μm. The smooth surface of the plexiglass plate effectively inhibits the lateral diffusion of cigarettes, preventing blockages after the cigarettes fall.

[0044] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
