[0014] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0015] like Figure 1-4As shown, the system includes a base 1, guide rails 2, push plate 3, crossbar 4, digital belt 5, push plate base 6, coil spring 7, fan 8, hollow pipe 9, sealing cover 10, digital display area 11, protrusions 12, pulleys 13, connecting rod 14, and slide rail 15. The main body of the base 1 is a hollow cuboid structure with no obstruction on top. The front panel of the base 1 has two symmetrical digital display areas 11 on the left and right sides that can display the numbers on the digital belt 5. Protrusions 12 are fixedly connected to the left and right inner sides of the base 1, and four pulleys 13 are fixed at the bottom of the four corners inside the two protrusions 12. The eight pulleys 13 are arranged in pairs around the two guide rails 2, and can slide on the two guide rails 2. Two digital belts 5; two slide rails 15 are provided at the bottom of the base 1, and the push plate base 6 can slide on the slide rails 15. The front end of the push plate base 6 is connected to the push plate 3, and the push plate 3 is connected to the crossbar 4. The two ends of the crossbar 4 are connected to the digital belts 5 that are wrapped around the guide rail 2 and are linked with the digital belts 5. The distance between adjacent numbers on the digital belts 5 is set to the size of the position occupied by a pack of cigarettes when it is placed in the counting cigarette pusher. When the push plate 3 is pushed to move on the slide rail 15, the push plate 3 can drive the crossbar 4 to move, which in turn drives the digital belts 5 to rotate on the guide rail 2. When the digital belts 5 rotate, they will pass through the digital display area 11, and the digital display area 11 will display the numbers on the digital belts 5 at this time.

[0016] A coil spring 7 is provided inside the push plate base 6. One end of the coil spring 7 is connected to the lower side of the front panel of the base 1, and the other end is fixedly coiled to the outside of the connecting rod 14 that passes through the push plate base 6. When the push plate base 6 slides away from the front end of the base 1 on the slide rail 15, the coil spring 7 is stretched and accumulates elastic potential energy. The accumulated elastic potential energy can make the cigarette card be placed in the middle position between the front end of the base 1 and the push plate 3. When the push plate base 6 slides close to the front end of the base 1 on the slide rail 15, the coil spring 7 is stretched and releases elastic potential energy. The released elastic potential energy can pull the push plate 3 so that the cigarette card is placed in the middle position between the front end of the base 1 and the push plate 3. Fans 8 are installed on both sides of the connecting rod 14. When the push plate base 6 moves away from the front end of the base 1, the coil spring 7, which is fixed to the connecting rod 14 at one end, stretches and increases, causing the connecting rod 14 to rotate in the forward direction, which in turn causes the fan 8 to rotate in the forward direction. When the push plate base 6 moves closer to the front end of the base 1, the coil spring 7 stretches and decreases, causing the connecting rod 14 to rotate in the reverse direction, which in turn causes the fan 8 to rotate in the reverse direction. Two protrusions 12 are fixedly installed with a perforated pipe 9 for placing desiccant by snap-fit. The push plate base 6 moves back and forth on the slide rail 15, which can indirectly drive the fan 8 to rotate, thereby accelerating the airflow in the counting smoke pusher, making it easier for humid air to enter the perforated pipe 9 and be absorbed by the desiccant inside the perforated pipe 9.

[0017] like Figure 1As shown, it includes a perforated pipe 9 and a sealing cap 10. The perforated pipe 9 has removable sealing caps 10 at both ends for easy replacement of the desiccant. The perforated pipe 9 has a spiral structure to increase the residence time of air in the pipe and improve the dehumidification efficiency of the desiccant. Multiple air holes with a diameter of 1-3 mm are provided on the outer wall of the perforated pipe 9 to ensure air circulation while preventing desiccant leakage.

[0018] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it includes a guide rail 2, a digital belt 5, a push plate base 6, a coil spring 7, a hollowed-out pipe 9, a connecting rod 14, and a slide rail 15. The digital part of the digital belt 5 has a raised design and is coated with a reflective coating to improve the visibility of the numbers. The push plate base 6 adopts a honeycomb internal structure to reduce its weight while maintaining structural strength. The guide rail 2, coil spring 7, hollowed-out pipe 9, connecting rod 14, and slide rail 15 are made of stainless steel and have undergone rust prevention treatment.

[0019] The specific working principle is as follows: When there are no cigarettes in the counting cigarette pusher, the position where the digital belt 5 stops is such that the number on the digital belt 5 displayed in the digital display area 11 is 0.

[0020] When a certain number of cigarette boxes need to be placed into the counting cigarette pusher, the operator pushes the pusher plate 3, which causes the pusher plate base 6 to move backward on the slide rail 15. Correspondingly, the crossbar 4 connected to the pusher plate 3 can cause the digital belt 5 on the guide rail 2 to move forward. Since the distance between adjacent numbers on the digital belt 5 is equal to the length of space occupied by a cigarette box in the counting cigarette pusher, when a certain number of cigarette boxes are placed, the digital belt 5 can also move forward in the digital display area 11 by the corresponding distance between adjacent numbers. At this time, the number in the digital display area 11 can reflect the number of cigarette boxes in the counting cigarette pusher.

[0021] When a certain number of cigarette boxes need to be removed from the counting cigarette pusher, the pusher base 6 can move forward on the slide rail 15 under the action of the accumulated elastic potential energy of the coil spring 7. Correspondingly, the crossbar 4 connected to the pusher 3 can drive the digital belt 5 on the guide rail 2 to move in the opposite direction. Since the distance between adjacent numbers on the digital belt 5 is equal to the length of the position occupied by a cigarette box in the counting cigarette pusher, when a certain number of cigarette boxes are removed, the digital belt 5 can also move in the opposite direction in the digital display area 11 by the corresponding distance between adjacent numbers. At this time, the number in the digital display area 11 can reflect the number of cigarette boxes in the counting cigarette pusher.

[0022] During the process of cigarettes being placed into and removed from the counting cigarette pusher, the rotation of the coil spring 7 inside the pusher base 6 will drive the fan 8 to rotate through the connecting rod 14, thereby enhancing the airflow in the counting cigarette pusher and allowing the humid air in the counting cigarette pusher to be absorbed more quickly by the desiccant in the perforated pipe 9, achieving the purpose of dehumidification.

[0023] Repeat this process when all the cigarettes in the counting cigarette pusher are removed.

[0024] 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 concept of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
