[0001] This utility model mainly relates to the technical field of cigarette sorting, specifically a sorting and packaging device for standard cigarettes and irregularly shaped cigarettes. Background Technology

[0002] Most cigarette sorting equipment on the market is designed to separate standard cigarettes from non-standard cigarettes, requiring two independent sorting systems. This not only results in high equipment investment costs and large space requirements, but also leads to a fragmented sorting process.

[0003] In actual operation, after standard cigarettes are sorted according to fixed box capacity, there are often some cigarettes that are not full. These cigarettes need to be packaged separately or combined, which wastes packaging materials and reduces sorting efficiency. At the same time, the sorting line for irregular cigarettes often has idle equipment due to fluctuations in order volume, and the handling of the remaining standard cigarettes requires additional manpower and time. This results in poor overall sorting process connection, high logistics costs, and difficulty in adapting to the needs of high-volume, high-efficiency cigarette sorting and packaging.
