[0002] With the development of cigarette packaging, and to meet the needs of various cigarette factories, research and development of cigarette packaging machinery for various irregular-shaped cigarette packaging specifications has begun in my country. Among these is a domestically developed hard-shell flip-top small box packaging machine. This machine requires separating the stacked empty hard cigarette boxes and conveying them one by one to the small box packaging machine for filling. However, during the small box feeding process, because the surface of the small box is made of a very soft frosted material, friction will occur between the platform surface and the small box. If the platform surface is not smooth or contains even a tiny amount of dust or dirt, scratches will appear on the surface of the small box, resulting in various scratches on the surface of the small box, which seriously affects the brand quality.

[0023] 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.
[0024] This embodiment provides a cigarette box anti-friction separation device. Taking a cigarette box with a length of 187.5mm, a width of 91.3mm, and a height of 73.0mm as an example, as follows... Figures 1 to 4 As shown, it includes: a base plate 1, an airbag chamber 2, a box 3, a guide rail 4, and a dial 5;
[0025] The base plate 1 has an axisymmetric structure. The upper surface of the base plate 1 is anodized to make the surface relatively smooth. The base plate 1 is 252mm long and 132mm wide. A groove is formed along the separation direction of the cigarette boxes. The groove is 75mm wide and 1mm deep. At the starting end of the separation, there are two through slots 6, each 130mm long and 11mm wide. The dial wheel 5 is installed in the through slots 6, and the upper end of the dial wheel 5 is higher than the bottom of the groove. The rotation of the dial wheel can push the cigarette boxes forward one by one. At the ending end of the separation, there is a through hole group 7 at the bottom of the groove. In this embodiment, the through hole group 7 has four rows of through holes, with 12 holes in each row. An airbag chamber 2 is set on the lower surface of the base plate 1 at the position of the through hole group 7. A positive pressure interface 9 is also set on one side of the airbag chamber 2. Compressed air enters the airbag chamber 2 through the positive pressure interface 9 and is then blown out by the through hole group 7.
[0026] The storage box 3 is installed on the upper surface of the separation starting end of the base plate 1 and is used to store cigarette boxes. The storage box 3 includes two U-shaped fixing blocks 8 with their openings facing each other and installed on both sides of the upper surface of the base plate 1 to form the storage box 3. The through groove 6 is opened at the bottom of the storage box 3. The cigarette boxes are stored in the storage box 3 and are separated out in sequence by the conveying wheel 5.
[0027] The guide rails 4 are installed on both sides of the upper surface of the base plate 1. In this embodiment, the guide rails 4 are plastic guide rails, 91mm long and 20mm wide, and are divided into left guide rails and right guide rails. The width of the guide rails is less than the width of one side protrusion of the groove, so that the cigarette box can move along the guide rails without falling into the groove. The width of the two guide rails can be adjusted appropriately according to the size of the cigarette box.
[0028] The anti-friction separation device for cigarette boxes provided in this embodiment is also equipped with a limiting brush. The two ends of the limiting brush are respectively attached to the left guide rail and the right guide rail to prevent the cigarette box from being lifted too high.
[0029] like Figure 4As shown, when the anti-friction separation device for cigarette boxes provided in this embodiment is working, the entire row of cigarette boxes is placed into the box magazine 3. Then, the dial wheel 5 pushes the bottommost cigarette box forward. The cigarette box is conveyed forward under the limiting action of the guide rail 4. At the same time, the through hole group 7 starts blowing air. At this time, the blown air will form an airflow wall. On the one hand, it cleans the bottom plate and discharges dust through the groove to prevent dust from damaging the cigarette box. On the other hand, by adjusting the airflow size, the airflow wall can provide a certain support for the cigarette box and reduce the contact friction between the cigarette box and the bottom plate 1. During transportation, the limiting brush installed on the guide rail 4 prevents the cigarette box from being lifted too high and smoothly conveys the cigarette box into the next packaging process.
[0030] The anti-friction separation device for cigarette boxes provided in this embodiment greatly reduces the probability of scratches on the surface of cigarette boxes, effectively improving product quality.
