[0028] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a conveying device for a cigarette appearance inspection system, including: a fixing component 1, a conveying component 2, and a driving component 3.

[0029] The fixing component 1 includes a fixing plate 11, two support plates 12 and a connecting plate 13. The support plates 12 are located on both sides of the fixing plate 11, and a groove 14 is formed between the two support plates 12. The connecting plates 13 are respectively disposed on the top of the support plates 12.

[0030] The conveying assembly 2 includes a conveyor belt 21, a mounting plate 22 and two limiting plates 23. The conveyor belt 21 is disposed in the groove 14. The mounting plates 22 are evenly spaced on the conveyor belt 21. The limiting plates 23 are located at both ends of the mounting plates 22. The cigarette stick 4 is placed on the mounting plate 22 and both ends of the cigarette stick 4 abut against the connecting plate 13.

[0031] The drive component 3 is connected to the conveyor belt 21 and is used to drive the conveyor belt 21 to rotate.

[0032] Specifically, during use, the operator places the cigarette 4 on the limiting plate 23 and activates the drive assembly 3, causing the drive assembly 3 to rotate the conveyor belt 21. At this time, the limiting plate 23 provides support and limits the cigarette 4, preventing it from slipping off the mounting plate 22. Furthermore, since the cigarette 4 abuts against the connecting plate 13, the friction between the cigarette 4 and the connecting plate 13 during movement causes the cigarette 4 to rotate, thereby enabling the inspection device of the cigarette appearance inspection system to perform a comprehensive inspection of the cigarette 4.

[0033] This utility model features a support plate 12 located on both sides of a fixed plate 11, with a groove 14 formed between the two support plates 12, and connecting plates 13 respectively disposed on the top of the support plates 12; a conveyor belt 21 disposed within the groove 14, mounting plates 22 evenly spaced on the conveyor belt 21, a limiting plate 23 located at both ends of the mounting plate 22, a cigarette 4 placed on the mounting plate 22, with both ends of the cigarette 4 abutting against the connecting plate 13, and a drive assembly 3 connected to the conveyor belt 21. During use, the operator places the cigarette 4 on the limiting plate 23 and starts the drive assembly 3, causing the drive assembly 3 to drive the conveyor belt 21 to rotate. Since the cigarette 4 is in contact with the connecting plate 13, the friction between the cigarette 4 and the connecting plate 13 will cause the cigarette 4 to rotate while moving. This allows the inspection device of the cigarette 4 appearance inspection system to perform a comprehensive inspection of the cigarette 4, effectively preventing defective cigarette 4 products with appearance defects from flowing into the next process and avoiding the situation where unqualified cigarette 4 enters the market. This effectively ensures the quality and pass rate of cigarette 4 production and improves the company's production efficiency.

[0034] In one embodiment of the conveying device for a cigarette appearance inspection system of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the conveyor belt 21 is inclined, and the angle between the plane of the conveyor belt 21 and the horizontal plane is 5-20 degrees.

[0035] Specifically, the angle between the plane of the conveyor belt 21 and the horizontal plane is 10 degrees. This design allows the cigarette 4 to be influenced by gravity during transport, keeping it in contact with the limiting plate 23 and further preventing the cigarette 4 from falling off the mounting plate 22. Furthermore, it also ensures the stable rotation of the cigarette 4.

[0036] In one embodiment of the conveying device for a cigarette appearance inspection system of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the fixing component 1 also includes a first support frame 15 and a second support frame 16, which are located at the two ends of the fixing plate, respectively. The length of the first support frame 15 is greater than the length of the second support frame 16.

[0037] This invention achieves the goal of setting the conveyor belt 21 in an inclined state by placing the first support frame 15 and the second support frame 16 at the two ends of the fixed plate, and making the length of the first support frame 15 greater than the length of the second support frame 16.

[0038] In one embodiment of the conveying device for a cigarette appearance inspection system of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the fixing component 1 also includes a flat plate 17, which is disposed above the connecting plate 13. The flat plate 17 has two openings 18, the width of which is greater than the width of the limiting plate 23, and the limiting plate 23 passes through the openings 18 and is located above the flat plate 17.

[0039] Specifically, the opening 18 extends along the length of the plate 17, and the length of the opening 18 is less than the length of the plate 17.

[0040] In this invention, the flat plate 17 is placed above the connecting plate 13, and the width of the opening 18 is set to be greater than the width of the limiting plate 23, so that the limiting plate 23 passes through the opening 18 and is located above the flat plate 17, thereby allowing the limiting plate 23 to move within the opening 18, effectively ensuring the stability of the conveying device of this invention for the cigarette appearance inspection system during the process of conveying the cigarette 4.

[0041] In one embodiment of the conveying device for a cigarette appearance inspection system of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the conveying assembly 2 also includes a limiting rod 24. The limiting plate 23 is provided with two mounting holes. The limiting rod 24 is located at both ends of the mounting plate 22, and the first end of the limiting rod 24 is connected to the mounting plate 22. The second end of the limiting plate 23 is inserted into the mounting hole.

[0042] This utility model places the limiting rod 24 at both ends of the mounting plate 22, with the first end of the limiting rod 24 connected to the mounting plate 22 and the second end of the limiting plate 23 inserted into the mounting hole, thereby realizing the installation of the limiting plate 23 through the limiting rod 24. The structure is simple and facilitates the replacement and maintenance of the limiting plate 23.

[0043] In one embodiment of the conveying device for a cigarette appearance inspection system of this utility model, such as Figure 3As shown, the conveying assembly 2 also includes a rotating roller 25, which is respectively disposed at both ends of the groove 14 and rotatably connected to the support plate 12.

[0044] This invention improves stability by setting rotating rollers 25 at both ends of the groove 14 and rotatably connecting the rotating rollers 25 to the support plate 12, so that the rotation of the rotating rollers 25 can stably drive the conveyor belt 21 to rotate.

[0045] In one embodiment of the conveying device for a cigarette appearance inspection system of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the drive assembly 3 includes a drive motor 31, a fixed frame 32, and a transmission rod. The fixed frame 32 is mounted on the fixed plate 11, and the drive motor 31 is mounted on the fixed frame 32. The output shaft of the drive motor 31 is connected to the first end of the transmission rod, and the second end of the transmission rod passes through the fixed frame 32 and is connected to the rotating roller 25.

[0046] This invention improves work efficiency by mounting a drive motor 31 on a fixed frame 32, connecting the output shaft of the drive motor 31 to the first end of a transmission rod, and connecting the second end of the transmission rod through the fixed frame 32 to a rotating roller 25. The drive motor 31 drives the transmission rod to rotate, which in turn drives the first rotating roller 25 to rotate, thereby causing the conveyor belt 21 to move the cigarette 4.
