[0030] Please see Figure 2 The first shaping mechanism 2 includes two first pushing devices 21 and two first shaping heating plates 22. The two first shaping heating plates 22 are respectively connected to the output ends of the two first pushing devices 21, and the two first shaping heating plates 22 face each other to form a first shaping channel. When the strip is fed into the first shaping channel, the first pushing devices 21 push the first shaping heating plates 22 to abut and press against the two sides of the strip, thus heat-sealing it; furthermore, the first pushing devices 21 are pneumatic pushing devices.

[0031] In some embodiments, the first shaping heating plate 22 is a soldering iron plate; the first shaping mechanism 2 further includes a connecting plate, which is disposed between the first shaping heating plate 22 and the first pushing device 21 to avoid direct contact between the first shaping heating plate 22 and the first pushing device 21, and to prevent heat buildup in the first pushing device 21 from causing malfunction.

[0032] Please see Figures 3 to 4 The second shaping mechanism 3 includes a second pushing device 31 and two second shaping heating plates 32. The second shaping heating plates 32 are arranged perpendicular to the first shaping heating plate 22, and the two second shaping heating plates 32 face each other to form a second shaping channel. The beginning of the second shaping channel is located next to the outlet of the first shaping channel, and the second shaping channel is perpendicular to the first shaping channel. Further, the frame 1 is provided with a strip box track 11, and the second shaping channel is located above the strip box track 11 along the strip box track 11.

[0033] The second pushing device 31 is located below or above the strip box track 11. The second pushing device 31 has two output ends in opposite directions, and the two output ends of the second pushing device 31 are respectively connected to two second shaping heating plates 32.

[0034] When the carton is fed into the second shaping channel, the second pushing device 31 pushes the second shaping heating plate 32 to abut and press against the other two sides of the carton to heat it; furthermore, the second pushing device 31 is a pneumatic pushing device.

[0035] Furthermore, the second shaping mechanism 3 also includes a connecting plate, a second connecting arm 33, and a protective baffle 34.

The protective baffle 34 is mounted on the frame, covering the outer side and top of the second shaping heating plate 32, and has several heat dissipation holes; the protective baffle 34 is used to prevent operators from being burned by direct contact with the shaping heating plate.

[0036] The cigarette carton packaging and shaping machine of this embodiment also includes a conveying mechanism (not shown) for transporting the carton. In some embodiments, the conveying mechanism includes a lifting device and a push rod. The lifting device is located below the first shaping mechanism 2, facing the entrance of the first shaping channel, and is used to lift the carton so that it passes from below the first shaping mechanism 2 through the first shaping channel to the exit of the first shaping channel. The push rod is located above the first shaping mechanism 2, beside the exit of the first shaping channel, with the push rod head facing the second shaping channel; when the carton is lifted by the lifting device to the exit of the first shaping channel, the push rod pushes the carton, pushing it onto the carton track 11 and sending it into the second shaping channel.

[0037] Please see Figures 5 to 6 The third shaping mechanism 4 includes a lower shaping heating plate 41, an upper shaping heating plate 42, and a pressing device 43. The lower shaping heating plate 41 is mounted on the frame 1 and located beside the end of the second shaping channel. The pressing device 43 is located beside or above the lower shaping heating plate 41, and its output end is connected to the upper shaping heating plate 42. The upper shaping heating plate 42 is located above the lower shaping heating plate 41 and directly opposite it. The upper shaping heating plate 42 and the lower shaping heating plate 41 form a third shaping channel, which is located on the extension line of the second shaping channel.

[0038] In some embodiments, both the lower shaping heating plate 41 and the upper shaping heating plate 42 are composed of two heating plates: a front shaping heating plate 411 and a rear shaping heating plate 412. The front shaping heating plate 411 and the rear shaping heating plate 412 can be independently temperature-adjusted. The two independently temperature-adjustable heating plates can form two independently temperature-adjustable workstations in the third shaping channel. Furthermore, the upper surface of the front shaping heating plate 411 of the lower shaping heating plate 41 is provided with a wrinkle-removing recess 411a; the structure of the wrinkle-removing recess 411a can further smooth out the wrinkles of the cellophane on the strip box.

[0039] When the carton is fed into the third shaping channel, the pressing device 43 pushes the upper shaping heating plate 42 down, and the upper heating plate and the lower heating plate abut and press against the upper and lower sides of the carton respectively to heat it.

[0040] Please see Figures 5 to 7 Furthermore, the cigarette pack shaping machine of this embodiment also includes a venting mechanism 5; the venting mechanism 5 includes two venting components 51 and at least one micro-motion component 52. The two venting components 51 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the third shaping channel, wherein at least one venting component 51 is reciprocally slidably disposed on the frame 1 in a direction perpendicular to the third shaping channel, and the micro-motion component 52 is connected to the venting component 51 slidably disposed on the frame 1, for driving the venting component 51 to move closer to or away from the third shaping channel. The emptying assembly 51 includes a sliding device 511, a sliding block 512, and a clamping plate 513. The sliding device 511 is located beside the third shaping channel, and a sliding track parallel to the third shaping channel is provided on the sliding device 511. The sliding block 512 is slidably disposed on the sliding track, and the clamping plate 513 is connected to the sliding block 512. The clamping plates 513 of the two emptying assemblies 51 are disposed opposite each other on both sides of the third shaping channel. The sliding device 511 can drive the clamping plate 513 to slide back and forth along the third shaping channel.

[0041] In operation, the cigarette carton packaging and shaping machine of this embodiment can use the push rod of the conveying mechanism to push the cartons, causing them to move in a row in the second and third shaping channels. When the work is completed or a malfunction occurs, the emptying mechanism 5 can empty the cartons accumulated in the third shaping channel. When the emptying mechanism 5 is working, the micro-motion component 52 pushes the emptying component 51 closer to the carton, causing the clamping plate 513 to clamp the carton. Then, the sliding device 511 moves, causing the clamping plate 513 to slide towards the end of the third shaping channel, pushing the carton out. Afterward, the micro-motion component 52 and the sliding device 511 reset.

[0042] Furthermore, the cigarette pack shaping machine of this embodiment also includes a slide mechanism 6. The slide mechanism 6 includes an inclined platform 61 and a conveyor belt 62; the inclined platform 61 is located beside the third shaping mechanism 4, and the beginning of the inclined platform 61 is connected to the end of the third shaping channel; the conveyor belt 62 is located on the inclined platform 61.

[0043] Furthermore, the cigarette pack shaping machine of this embodiment also includes a control system. The control system is connected to the first shaping mechanism 2, the second shaping mechanism 3, the third shaping mechanism 4, the conveying mechanism, and the emptying mechanism 5 via signals. The control system is used to control the shaping actions of each shaping mechanism and to synchronize the actions of the conveying mechanism and the emptying mechanism 5 with those of each shaping mechanism; at the same time, the control system is also used to control the temperature of the shaping heating plate in each shaping mechanism.

[0044] The first shaping mechanism 2, the second shaping mechanism 3, and the third shaping mechanism 4 respectively shape different symmetrical sides of the carton. In this embodiment, the first shaping mechanism 2 is used to shape the long side of the carton, the second shaping mechanism 3 is used to shape the short side of the carton, and the third shaping mechanism 4 is used to shape the main side of the carton.

[0045] In this embodiment of the cigarette carton packaging and shaping machine, the lifting device first feeds the carton into the first shaping mechanism 2, which shapes the long side of the carton. After the long side is shaped, the lifting device lifts the carton away from the first shaping mechanism 2, and then the push rod pushes the carton into the second shaping mechanism 3. The second shaping mechanism 3 shapes the short side of the carton. After shaping, the carton is pushed by the push rod into the third shaping mechanism 4. The third shaping mechanism 4 shapes the main side of the carton. After shaping, the carton is sent to the slide mechanism 6, which then sends the carton to the next process.

[0046] The cigarette pack and carton packaging and shaping machine of this utility model has the advantages of simple maintenance, compact structure, and stable operation. Through its compact structural design, each shaping mechanism and shaping station can work closely with the existing production line, greatly reducing the requirements for the surrounding environment and space of the production line and improving compatibility.

[0047] The embodiments described above are merely examples of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent.
