[0003]目前主流的卷烟导正装置多采用固定规格设计,其核心依赖箱体震动使卷烟从下端出口单支导出,尽管这一方式实现了基础的导正功能,但其技术局限性显著,装置结构固定导致规格兼容性差,当生产不同尺寸的卷烟时,需耗时停机调整或更换导正箱体,这种缺乏动态调节能力的固定结构难以适应多品种、小批量的柔性化生产需求,导致效率低下且难以满足现代烟草行业日益增长的多元化规格兼容要求
[0013] 1. First, fix the guide box and its auxiliary components directly above the conveyor line. When the cigarettes enter the guide box, their direction and position are initially adjusted by the staggered guide plates to ensure that the cigarettes move along the preset path. Then, the cigarettes reach the first guide cylinder, where the guide plate at its lower end fits tightly with the outer arc surface of the first guide cylinder to further correct the cigarette's posture. At this time, the motor drives the first guide cylinder to rotate, and the cigarettes slide into its receiving slot one by one. When the receiving slot rotates to the lower opening, the guided cigarettes will naturally detach and fall onto the conveyor line. (This process is repeated for different specifications.) The device allows for quick switching between different cigarette sizes. By sliding the second guide cylinder along the sliding hole and precisely inserting it into the slot of the first guide cylinder using the insertion rod, the second guide cylinder covers the first guide cylinder. At the same time, its receiving groove forms a nested fit with the first guide cylinder. Then, tightening the locking bolt securely locks the device, achieving adaptation to different cigarette sizes. This design, through its modular structure and intelligent adjustment function, not only improves the accuracy and efficiency of the guidance but also achieves rapid compatibility with multiple cigarette specifications, significantly expanding the applicability of the device and providing an efficient and flexible solution for the production process.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cigarette straightening technology, specifically relating to a cigarette straightening device. Background Technology
[0002] As a common tobacco product, the manufacturing process of cigarettes involves wrapping dried tobacco shreds on cigarette paper of a specific size to form a cylindrical strip structure about 120 mm long and 10 mm in diameter. In order to ensure that the cigarettes can be accurately packaged, the guiding device becomes a key link.
[0003] Currently, most mainstream cigarette guiding devices adopt a fixed specification design. Their core relies on the vibration of the box to guide the cigarette out one by one from the bottom outlet. Although this method achieves the basic guiding function, its technical limitations are significant. The fixed structure of the device leads to poor specification compatibility. When producing cigarettes of different sizes, it is necessary to stop the machine for adjustment or replace the guiding box. This fixed structure, which lacks dynamic adjustment capability, is difficult to adapt to the flexible production needs of multiple varieties and small batches, resulting in low efficiency and difficulty in meeting the increasingly diversified specification compatibility requirements of the modern tobacco industry. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a cigarette guiding device, which can quickly switch between different specifications of cigarettes through the guiding mechanism, and adapt to cigarettes of different sizes. Through modular structure and intelligent adjustment function, it not only improves the guiding accuracy and efficiency, but also achieves rapid compatibility with multiple specifications of cigarettes, significantly expanding the applicability of the device and providing an efficient and flexible solution for the production process.
[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a cigarette straightening device, comprising a guide box and a straightening mechanism disposed therein. The straightening mechanism includes guide plates staggered at both ends of the inner cavity of the guide box. A straightening cylinder is rotatably connected to the lower end of the inner cavity of the guide box. The inner ends of the two lowest guide plates are both arc-shaped and are configured to cooperate with the outer arc surface of the straightening cylinder. A driving component for driving the straightening cylinder to rotate is also provided on one side of the guide box. Through modular structure and intelligent adjustment function, the device improves straightening accuracy and efficiency, achieves rapid compatibility with multiple cigarette specifications, significantly expands the applicability of the device, and provides an efficient and flexible solution for the production process.
[0006] The guiding mechanism also includes a sliding hole located on the outside of the guide box near the guiding cylinder. A second guiding cylinder is slidably connected in the sliding hole. The second guiding cylinder and the first guiding cylinder are movably inserted into each other, which enables quick switching.
[0007] The guiding mechanism also includes a rod located in the middle of the inner cavity of the second guiding cylinder. The first guiding cylinder is provided with a slot for movably inserting the rod. A locking bolt is rotatably connected to the middle of the rod. The locking bolt is threadedly connected to a screw hole on the inner side of the slot, which serves as a quick connection.
[0008] The driving component includes a motor located on one side of the guide box, and the output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to the guide cylinder, thus providing the driving source.
[0009] It also includes a vibration assembly, which includes a slide groove on the guide plate at the bottom, a vibration plate slidably connected in the slide groove, a vibration motor at the bottom of the vibration plate, and evenly distributed springs at both ends between the vibration plate and the slide groove to ensure that it smoothly enters the guiding area.
[0010] The insertion rod is rectangular, which ensures smooth transmission after connection.
[0011] The receiving groove on the second guide cylinder is smaller than the receiving groove on the first guide cylinder, which means it can perform guiding operations on cigarettes of different specifications.
[0012] The beneficial effects of the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] 1. First, fix the guide box and its auxiliary components directly above the conveyor line. When the cigarettes enter the guide box, their direction and position are initially adjusted by the staggered guide plates to ensure that the cigarettes move along the preset path. Then, the cigarettes reach the first guide cylinder, where the guide plate at its lower end fits tightly with the outer arc surface of the first guide cylinder to further correct the cigarette's posture. At this time, the motor drives the first guide cylinder to rotate, and the cigarettes slide into its receiving slot one by one. When the receiving slot rotates to the lower opening, the guided cigarettes will naturally detach and fall onto the conveyor line. (This process is repeated for different specifications.) The device allows for quick switching between different cigarette sizes. By sliding the second guide cylinder along the sliding hole and precisely inserting it into the slot of the first guide cylinder using the insertion rod, the second guide cylinder covers the first guide cylinder. At the same time, its receiving groove forms a nested fit with the first guide cylinder. Then, tightening the locking bolt securely locks the device, achieving adaptation to different cigarette sizes. This design, through its modular structure and intelligent adjustment function, not only improves the accuracy and efficiency of the guidance but also achieves rapid compatibility with multiple cigarette specifications, significantly expanding the applicability of the device and providing an efficient and flexible solution for the production process.
[0014] 2. In addition, the vibration motor drives the vibrating plate to reciprocate at high frequency in the chute. Combined with the buffering effect of the spring, it generates stable vibration, effectively eliminating the jamming of cigarettes between the guide plates and ensuring that they smoothly enter the guiding area.

Detailed Implementation
[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the following will be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this utility model. Figure 1-5 The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model are clearly and completely described herein. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of this utility model are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0022] This embodiment provides a cigarette straightening device, such as Figure 1-5 The guide box 100 includes a guide housing 100 and a guiding mechanism disposed therein. The guiding mechanism includes guide plates 200 staggered at both ends of the inner cavity of the guide housing 100. A guiding cylinder 201 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the inner cavity of the guide housing 100. The inner ends of the two lowest guide plates 200 are arc-shaped and are configured to cooperate with the outer arc surface of the guiding cylinder 201. A driving component for driving the guiding cylinder 201 to rotate is also provided on one side of the guide housing 100. The guiding mechanism also includes a component disposed on the outer side of the guide housing 100 near the guiding cylinder 201. The guide cylinder 202 is slidably connected inside the sliding hole. The guide cylinder 202 is movably inserted into the guide cylinder 201. The guiding mechanism also includes a rod 203 located in the middle of the inner cavity of the guide cylinder 202. The guide cylinder 201 is provided with a slot 204 that is movably inserted into the rod 203. A locking bolt 205 is rotatably connected to the middle of the rod 203. The locking bolt 205 is threadedly connected to a screw hole provided inside the slot 204. The driving component includes a motor 300 located on one side of the guide box 100. The output shaft of the motor 300 is fixedly connected to the guide cylinder 201.
[0023] First, the guide box 100 and its auxiliary components are fixed directly above the conveyor line. When the cigarettes enter the guide box, their direction and position are initially adjusted by the staggered guide plates 200, ensuring the cigarettes move along a preset path. Then, the cigarettes reach the first guide cylinder 201, where the lower guide plate 200 fits tightly with the outer arc surface of the first guide cylinder 201, further correcting the cigarette's posture. At this point, the motor 300 drives the first guide cylinder 201 to rotate, and the cigarettes slide into its receiving slot one by one. When the receiving slot rotates to the lower opening, the guided cigarettes will naturally detach and fall onto the conveyor line. This process is tailored to different specifications. The cigarette can be quickly switched by sliding the second guide cylinder 202 along the sliding hole and precisely inserting it into the slot 204 of the first guide cylinder using the insertion rod 203, so that the second guide cylinder 202 covers the first guide cylinder 201. At the same time, its receiving groove forms a nested fit with the first guide cylinder 201. Then, tightening the locking bolt 205 can securely lock it, realizing the adaptation to different sizes of cigarettes. This design, through modular structure and intelligent adjustment function, not only improves the accuracy and efficiency of the guidance, but also realizes the rapid compatibility of multiple specifications of cigarettes, significantly expanding the applicability of the device and providing an efficient and flexible solution for the production process.
[0024] like Figure 3-5 As shown, it also includes a vibration assembly, which includes a slide groove 400 disposed on the guide plate 200 at the lowest end, a vibration plate 401 slidably connected in the slide groove 400, a vibration motor 402 disposed at the lower end of the vibration plate 401, and springs 403 evenly distributed at both ends between the vibration plate 401 and the slide groove 400.
[0025] The vibration motor 402 drives the vibration plate 401 to reciprocate at high frequency in the slide groove 400. With the buffering effect of the spring 403, stable vibration is generated, which effectively eliminates the jamming of cigarettes between the guide plates 200 and ensures that they smoothly enter the guiding area.
[0026] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the insertion rod 203 is a rectangular insertion rod, which ensures smooth transmission after connection.
[0027] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the receiving groove on the second guide cylinder 202 is smaller than the receiving groove on the first guide cylinder 201, which enables the guiding operation of cigarettes of different specifications.
[0028] The working principle of the cigarette guiding device provided by this utility model is as follows: First, the guide box 100 and its auxiliary components are fixed directly above the conveyor line. When the cigarette enters the guide box, its direction and position are initially adjusted by the staggered guide plates 200 to ensure that the cigarette moves along the preset path. Subsequently, the cigarette reaches the first guiding cylinder 201, and the guide plate 200 at its lower end forms a tight fit with the outer arc surface of the first guiding cylinder 201 to further correct the cigarette's posture. At this time, the motor 300 drives the first guiding cylinder 201 to rotate, and the cigarette slides into its receiving groove one by one. When the receiving groove rotates to the lower opening, the guided cigarette will naturally detach and fall to the conveyor line. For different specifications of cigarettes, quick switching can be achieved by sliding the second guiding cylinder 202 along the sliding hole and using the insertion rod. The guide cylinder 203 is precisely inserted into the slot 204 of the first guide cylinder, so that the second guide cylinder 202 covers the first guide cylinder 201. At the same time, its receiving groove forms a nested fit with the first guide cylinder 201. Then, tightening the locking bolt 205 can securely lock it, realizing the adaptation to different sizes of cigarettes. In addition, the vibration motor 402 drives the vibration plate 401 to reciprocate at high frequency in the slide 400. With the buffering effect of the spring 403, stable vibration is generated, which effectively eliminates the jamming of cigarettes between the guide plates 200 and ensures that they smoothly enter the guiding area. This design, through modular structure and intelligent adjustment function, not only improves the guiding accuracy and efficiency, but also realizes rapid compatibility with multiple specifications of cigarettes, significantly expanding the applicability of the device and providing an efficient and flexible solution for the production process.
[0029] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this utility model, 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 according to the specific circumstances.
[0030] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
