Like this, each goes out the cigarette module and neither influences the cigarette each other, and the extraction of also being convenient for carries out the assembly of cigarette packet, still is convenient for maintain to the technological effect of being convenient for maintain has been realized.

As shown in fig. 4 and 5, the smoke discharging device 4 may include a box-type smoke duct and a driving part; the box-type flue comprises a driving part 412, a fixed base 404 and a sliding flue 405 which are matched with each other; wherein, the smoke outlet 411 is arranged at the bottom of one end of the sliding flue; the sliding chimney 405 is used to accommodate a plurality of cigarette packs 409 arranged in series.

Specifically, the smoke discharging device further comprises a driving part; the fixed base 404 includes: an ejection member 403 having a predetermined length and a retractable smoke ejection member; the ejecting part 403 reciprocates under the driving of the driving part 412 and is used for ejecting the top of the cigarette packet 409 at the cigarette outlet 411 so as to eject the cigarette packet 409 from the cigarette outlet 411; the cigarette pushing member is used to push the cigarette packets arranged in series in a direction parallel to the sliding flue toward the cigarette outlet 411 in an elastically stretched state.

One end of the ejecting part 403 is connected to the driving part 412, and the other end is used as a free end for ejecting the top of the cigarette packet 409 at the cigarette outlet 411. Wherein, the free end can be a bent end or a straight end. If the free end is a straight end, the ejector member 403 has a predetermined flexibility so that when the free end hits the end of the fixed base 404, it bends to push the top of the cigarette packet 409 at the cigarette outlet 411.

In this embodiment, the cigarette pushing member is in an elastic stretching state under the abutting action of the cigarette packets 409 arranged in series, and the cigarette pushing member in the elastic stretching state generates a resilience force; similarly, the cigarette pushing component in the elastic stretching state pushes the cigarette packet 409 arranged in series to the inner wall of the sliding flue 405 at one end of the cigarette outlet 411 through resilience force, so that the cigarette packet 409 at the cigarette outlet 411 cannot fall down from the cigarette outlet 411. After the cigarette packet 409 at the cigarette outlet 411 is pushed out of the cigarette outlet 411, the cigarette pushing component pushes the rest of cigarette packets 409 towards the cigarette outlet 411 under the action of the resilience force.

In order to facilitate understanding of the invention, the working principle of the smoke discharging device will be described in detail below with reference to fig. 4 and 5.

When the driving part 412 drives the ejecting part 403 to move, the ejecting part 403 leaves the initial position and moves towards the smoke outlet 411 to eject the top of the cigarette packet located at the smoke outlet 411 and abutted by the smoke ejecting part, so that the cigarette packet 409 is ejected from the smoke outlet 411 from top to bottom, and thus, the smoke ejecting action is realized; when the cigarette packet 409 is ejected by the ejecting member 403, the cigarette ejecting member in the elastic stretching state ejects the rest of the cigarette packets to move towards the cigarette outlet 411 under the action of restoring force, so as to make up for the vacant position left after the cigarette packet 409 is ejected by the ejecting member 403. The driving part 412 continues to drive the ejecting part 403, so that the ejecting part 403 performs a return motion and returns to the initial position; at this point, the ejecting member 403 completes one reciprocating motion; at this time, the cigarette pushing component pushes the rest of cigarette packets 409 to move forward, that is, the empty space left by the pushed cigarette packet 409 from the cigarette outlet 411 is occupied by the cigarette packet 409 behind the pushed cigarette packet 409, and the positions of the other cigarette packets 409 are sequentially moved forward and so on.

According to the technical scheme, the cigarette discharging action is realized mainly by the aid of the driving part 412 and the ejection part 403 with the preset length, and meanwhile, the telescopic cigarette pushing part is combined, so that the cigarette can be supplemented on the basis of the cigarette action, and the technical effect of automatically supplementing cigarettes in the cigarette discharging process is realized through a simple structure.

In a preferred embodiment, as shown in figures 4 and 5, the smoke pushing component comprises a push plate 406 and a resilient member 407. One end of the elastic member 407 is fixed to the fixed base 404, and the other end is connected to the push plate 406. The pushing plate 406 is used to push the cigarette packet 409, which is arranged in series, toward the cigarette outlet 411 in a direction parallel to the sliding flue 405 in a state where the elastic member 407 is elastically stretched.

The elastic member 407 may be an elastic string, a spring, or the like. Wherein the spring is preferably a coil spring.

In this embodiment, the push plate 406 may be pushed by sliding the multiple cigarette packs 409 in series contained in the flue 405 during assembly so that the elastic member 407 is in elastic tension. The elastic member 407 in the elastically stretched state causes the pushing plate 406 to have a pulling force in a direction toward the cigarette outlet 411, which pushes the cigarette packs 409 arranged in series in the sliding flue 405, and after the cigarette packs located at the cigarette outlet 411 are pushed out by the pushing-out member 403, the pulling force pushes the remaining cigarette packs 409 to move toward the cigarette outlet 411 to fill in the empty spaces left by the pushed-out cigarette packs.

In this embodiment, by the above technical solution, the technical effect of automatically supplementing the cigarette packet is achieved by the mutual cooperation of the pushing plate 406 and the elastic member 407.

In a preferred embodiment, the end of the fixed base 404 near the smoke outlet 411 is open; the slide chimney 405 is fitted to the fixed base 404 through the opening in a slidable manner with respect to the fixed base 404.
