Technical Field

The application belongs to the technical field of machinery and electron, concretely relates to push mechanism and cigarette case.

Background

In the context of consumer upgrading, the automation of cigarette packs as personal consumer goods is also increasing accordingly. Under the requirement of automation, cigarettes need to automatically move in the cigarette box towards the cigarette outlet so as to be convenient for a user to take the cigarettes, but in the current related art, the moving effect of the cigarettes in the cigarette box is poor.

SUMMERY OF THE UTILITY MODEL

In view of this, the present application provides, in a first aspect, a pushing mechanism for a cigarette box and for pushing cigarettes, the pushing mechanism including:

a substrate;

the first rotating part comprises a first rotating end and a first pushing end which are arranged oppositely, and the first rotating end is rotatably connected with the substrate; the first pushing end is used for abutting against the cigarettes and pushing the cigarettes along the direction far away from the base plate;

the first elastic piece is arranged at the first rotating end and used for enabling the first pushing end of the first rotating piece to rotate along the direction far away from the substrate;

the second rotating part comprises a second rotating end and a second pushing end which are arranged oppositely, and the second rotating end is rotatably connected with the substrate; the second pushing end is used for abutting against the cigarette and pushing the cigarette along the direction far away from the base plate; and

the second elastic piece is arranged at the second rotating end and used for enabling the second pushing end of the second rotating piece to rotate along the direction far away from the substrate; the first rotating piece and the second rotating piece rotate in opposite directions;

the pushing mechanism is provided with the first rotating part and the second rotating part which are mutually clamped and are arranged at an angle with the substrate, and a connecting line between the first pushing end and the second pushing end is parallel to a pushing state of the substrate.

In the pushing mechanism provided by the first aspect of the present application, the first rotating end of the first rotating member is rotatably connected to the substrate, that is, the first rotating member is rotatable relative to the substrate. The second rotating end of the second rotating part is rotatably connected with the base plate, namely the second rotating part can rotate relative to the base plate. In addition, the first pushing end of the first rotating member can rotate along the direction far away from the substrate through the first elastic member, and the second pushing end of the second rotating member can rotate along the direction far away from the substrate through the second elastic member. When the two rotating parts rotate along the direction of keeping away from the base plate under the action of the two elastic parts, the distances between the first pushing end of the first rotating part and the second pushing end of the second rotating part and the base plate are increased, so that the cigarettes can be moved along the direction of keeping away from the base plate by utilizing the first pushing end and the second pushing end, and the function of pushing the cigarettes is realized.

The present embodiment provides a pushing mechanism 1 applied to a cigarette case 2 and used for pushing cigarettes 50, wherein the pushing mechanism 1 includes a base plate 10, a first rotating member 21, a first elastic member 31, a second rotating member 22, and a second elastic member 32. The first rotating member 21 includes a first rotating end 210 and a first pushing end 211, which are oppositely arranged, and the first rotating end 210 is rotatably connected to the substrate 10; the first pushing end 211 is used for abutting against the cigarette 50 and pushing the cigarette 50 along a direction away from the base plate 10. The first elastic element 31 is disposed at the first rotating end 210, and the first elastic element 31 is configured to rotate the first pushing end 211 of the first rotating element 21 in a direction away from the substrate 10. The second rotating member 22 comprises a second rotating end 220 and a second pushing end 221 which are oppositely arranged, and the second rotating end 220 is rotatably connected with the substrate 10; the second pushing end 221 is used for abutting against the cigarette 50 and pushing the cigarette 50 along a direction away from the base plate 10. The second elastic element 32 is installed at the second rotating end 220, and the second elastic element 32 is used for enabling the second pushing end 221 of the second rotating element 22 to rotate along the direction away from the substrate 10; the first rotating member 21 and the second rotating member 22 rotate in opposite directions. The pushing mechanism 1 has a first rotating part 21 and a second rotating part 22 which are mutually clamped and arranged at an angle with the substrate 10, and a connecting line between the first pushing end 211 and the second pushing end 221 is parallel to the pushing state of the substrate 10.

The pushing mechanism 1 includes a base plate 10, and the base plate 10 is generally used to fix, support or protect other structural components. Alternatively, the material of the substrate 10 includes, but is not limited to, plastic, metal, polymer, etc. Alternatively, when the pushing mechanism 1 is applied to the cigarette case 2, the base plate 10 may be provided as a bin door of the cigarette case 2.

The pushing mechanism 1 further includes a first rotating member 21 and a second rotating member 22. Wherein the first rotating member 21 includes two ends disposed oppositely: a first rotating end 210 and a first pushing end 211. The first rotating end 210 is rotatably connected to the substrate 10, i.e. the first rotating member 21 can rotate relative to the substrate 10. In the present embodiment, the rotation direction of the first rotating member 21 is not limited, for example, the first rotating end 210 can drive the first pushing end 211 to rotate in a direction close to the substrate 10, and the first rotating end 210 can also drive the first pushing end 211 to rotate in a direction away from the substrate 10. In other words, the first rotating member 21 may rotate clockwise with respect to the base plate 10, and may also rotate counterclockwise with respect to the base plate 10. And the angle at which the first rotating member 21 rotates is not specifically limited by the present application. Alternatively, the present application does not limit the parameters of the first rotating member 21, such as structure, material, shape, etc., as long as the first rotating member 21 can realize the rotation of the first rotating end 210 to connect the substrate 10.

The second rotating member 22 includes two ends disposed oppositely: a second rotating end 220 and a second pushing end 221. The second rotating end 220 is rotatably connected to the base plate 10, i.e. the second rotating member 22 can rotate relative to the base plate 10. In this embodiment, the rotation direction of the second rotating member 22 is not limited, for example, the second rotating end 220 can drive the second pushing end 221 to rotate in a direction close to the substrate 10, and the second rotating end 220 can also drive the second pushing end 221 to rotate in a direction away from the substrate 10. In other words, the second rotating member 22 may rotate clockwise with respect to the base plate 10, or may rotate counterclockwise with respect to the base plate 10. And the angle at which the second rotating member 22 rotates is not particularly limited in the present application. Alternatively, the present application does not limit the parameters of the second rotating member 22, such as structure, material, shape, etc., as long as the second rotating member 22 can realize the rotation of the second rotating end 220 to connect with the substrate 10.

The pushing mechanism 1 further includes a first elastic member 31 and a second elastic member 32. The first elastic member 31 is disposed at the first rotating end 210, and is used for rotating the first pushing end 211 of the first rotating member 21 in a direction away from the substrate 10 by an elastic force of the first elastic member 31. The second elastic element 32 is disposed at the second rotation end 220, and is used for rotating the second pushing end 221 of the second rotation element 22 in a direction away from the substrate 10 by the elastic force of the second elastic element 32. When the two rotating members rotate under the action of the two elastic members, so that the two pushing ends rotate in the direction away from the substrate 10, that is, in the process of the pushing mechanism 1 from the retracted state to the pushing state, the distances between the first pushing end 211 of the first rotating member 21 and the second pushing end 221 of the second rotating member 22 and the substrate 10 are both increased, so that the cigarettes 50 can also move in the direction away from the substrate 10 by using the first pushing end 211 and the second pushing end 221, and the function of pushing the cigarettes 50 is realized.

Specifically, in the process that the pushing mechanism 1 is in the contracted state and moves from the contracted state to the pushing state, the first elastic element 31 and the second elastic element 32 are in the elastic deformation state, and optionally, the first elastic element 31 and the second elastic element 32 include, but are not limited to, being in the stretching state or the compressing state. In the present embodiment, the first elastic member 31 and the second elastic member 32 are torsion springs, and in other embodiments, the first elastic member 31 and the second elastic member 32 include, but are not limited to, springs or other members with large elastic potential energy.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the rotation directions of the first rotating member 21 and the second rotating member 22 may be opposite to each other, in other words, when one of the first rotating member 21 and the second rotating member 22 rotates in the clockwise direction, the other rotates in the counterclockwise direction. Thus, when the first rotating member 21 and the second rotating member 22 rotate by a certain angle relative to the substrate 10, the first rotating member 21 and the second rotating member 22 can be engaged with each other to stop rotating, and at this time, it can be understood that the pushing mechanism 1 is in the pushing state (as shown in fig. 3). The present application can limit the maximum rotation angle of the first rotating member 21 and the second rotating member 22 by mutually engaging, so as to limit the maximum stroke position of the first pushing end 211 and the second pushing end 221 away from the substrate 10 during the pushing process.

As shown in fig. 1, when the first rotating member 21 and the second rotating member 22 are close to the substrate 10 and the first rotating member 21 and the second rotating member 22 have a minimum angle with the substrate 10, the pushing mechanism 1 is in the retracted state. The present embodiment is not limited to how the pushing mechanism 1 returns to the retracted state from the pushed state. For example, the user can press the first rotating member 21 and the second rotating member 22 by hand, or the first rotating member 21 and the second rotating member 22 are reacted by the cigarette 50, or the control mechanism is provided to control the first rotating member 21 and the second rotating member 22.

Optionally, the size of the maximum rotation angle and the minimum rotation angle is not limited in this embodiment, and may be designed according to the size of the cigarette box 2 and the actual requirement.

In addition, when the pushing mechanism 1 is in the pushing state, the first rotating member 21 and the second rotating member 22 are disposed at an angle with respect to the substrate 10, and a connection line (shown by a dotted line in fig. 7) between the first pushing end 211 and the second pushing end 221 is parallel to the substrate 10. In other words, when the first rotating member 21 and the second rotating member 22 rotate by the maximum angle, the ends of the first rotating member 21 and the second rotating member 22 (i.e. the first pushing end 211 and the second pushing end 221) are flush with each other, so that the connection line between the first pushing end 211 and the second pushing end 221 is parallel to the substrate 10, and the pushing mechanism 1 does not interfere with the movement of the smoke discharging mechanism.

In summary, the pushing mechanism 1 according to the present embodiment can achieve the pushing function, and push the entire row of cigarettes 50 in the direction approaching the cigarette outlet 41. Meanwhile, when a cigarette 50 abutting against the first pushing end 211 and the second pushing end 221 is pushed to a preset position, the first rotating member 21 and the second rotating member 22 rotate to a maximum angle, and the first pushing end 211 and the second pushing end 221 reach a maximum stroke position in a direction away from the substrate 10. At this time, the connection line between the first pushing end 211 and the second pushing end 221 is parallel to the substrate 10, so that the pushing mechanism 1 is ensured not to interfere with the movement of the smoke discharging mechanism, and reliability is provided for subsequent smoke discharging.

Alternatively, the present embodiment is schematically illustrated with only two pushing mechanisms 1. In other embodiments, the number of the pushing mechanisms 1 may be one, or may be two or more.

When the pushing mechanism 1 is applied to the cigarette case 2, and the pushing mechanism 1 is in a process from the contraction state to the pushing state, a row of cigarettes 50 is arranged in the cigarette case 2, when a cigarette 50 which is far away from the base plate 10 and is in a preset position is moved out of the cigarette case 2, the preset position is in a gap state, at this time, the first rotating member 21 and the second rotating member 22 of the pushing mechanism 1 can rotate, so that the first pushing end 211 and the second pushing end 221 rotate along a direction far away from the base plate 10, and then a cigarette 50 which is closest to the preset position is pushed to enter the preset position in the gap state. When a cigarette 50 away from the base plate 10 and in the preset position is removed from the cigarette case 2 again, the above operations are repeated until the pushing mechanism 1 pushes a cigarette 50 abutting against the first pushing end 211 and the second pushing end 221 to the preset position.

Alternatively, the preset position may be a position corresponding to the cigarette outlet 41, or may be a position corresponding to another mechanism that transfers the cigarette 50 to a position corresponding to the cigarette outlet 41.

Optionally, the number of the cigarettes 50 is not particularly limited in the present application, for example, the number of the cigarettes 50 that can be pushed by the pushing mechanism 1 may be 1, or 2, or 3, or 4, or 5, or 6 or more.

Referring to fig. 4 to fig. 5 again, in the present embodiment, the first rotating member 21 has a through hole 212, the second rotating member 22 passes through the through hole 212 and is set up to intersect with the first rotating member 21, and when the pushing mechanism 1 is in the pushing state, the second rotating member 22 abuts against a hole wall of the through hole 212 on a side close to the first pushing end 211.

In order to realize that the first rotating member 21 can be engaged with the second rotating member 22, the first rotating member 21 may be provided with a through hole 212, and the second rotating member 22 may be arranged to intersect with the first rotating member 21 through the through hole 212. Thus, when the pushing mechanism 1 is in the process from the retracted state to the pushing state, that is, the first pushing end 211 and the second pushing end 221 rotate in the direction away from the substrate 10, since the rotation directions of the two rotating members are opposite, the second rotating member 22 gradually moves toward the hole wall of the through hole 212 on the side close to the first pushing end 211 in the process of rotation until the second rotating member 22 abuts against the hole wall of the through hole 212 on the side close to the first pushing end 211, and at this time, the second rotating member 22 is engaged with the first rotating member 21 so as to stop the movement of the pushing mechanism 1, even if the pushing mechanism 1 is in the above-mentioned pushing state.

Alternatively, the size of the through hole 212 is not limited in this embodiment, and the size of the through hole 212 and the maximum rotation angle of the substrate 10 when the first rotating member 21 and the second rotating member 22 are engaged with each other may be designed according to actual requirements.

Referring to fig. 4 to 5 again, in the present embodiment, the second rotating member 22 further includes a first portion 222 and a second portion 223 connected to each other, the first portion 222 is connected to the second rotating end 220, the second portion 223 is connected to the second pushing end 221, at least a portion of the first portion 222 has a width not greater than a width of the through hole 212, and the second portion 223 has a width greater than the width of the through hole 212; when the pushing mechanism 1 is in the pushing state, the first portion 222 abuts against a hole wall of the through hole 212 on a side close to the first pushing end 211, and the second portion 223 abuts against a surface of the first rotating member 21 on a side away from the substrate 10.

The second rotating member 22 includes two parts besides the second rotating end 220 and the second pushing end 221: the first portion 222 and the second portion 223, wherein the first portion 222 is connected to the second rotating end 220, and the second portion 223 is connected to the second pushing end 221. The present embodiment may make the width of at least a portion of the first portion 222 not greater than the width of the through hole 212, so that the second rotating member 22 can penetrate through the through hole 212 of the first rotating member 21. Optionally, at least a portion of the width of the first portion 222 is not greater than the width of the through hole 212, and the remaining portion has a width greater than the width of the through hole 212. In other words, the first portion 222 penetrates through the through hole 212 to make the width of the first portion not larger than the width of the through hole 212, and the width of the remaining portion is larger than the width of the through hole 212, so that the two rotating members which are intersected with each other can realize relative movement within a set range.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the width of the second portion 223 may be larger than the width of the through hole 212, so that when the pushing mechanism 1 is in the pushing state, that is, when the first portion 222 abuts against the wall of the through hole 212 on the side close to the first pushing end 211, the second portion 223 abuts against the surface of the first rotating member 21 on the side away from the substrate 10 because the width of the second portion 223 is larger than the width of the through hole 212. In other words, when the pushing mechanism 1 is in the pushing state, the two rotating members can be engaged with each other to stop rotating.

In summary, in the present embodiment, the through hole 212 is formed in the first rotating member 21, and the width of at least a portion of the second rotating member 22 is not greater than the width of the through hole 212, so that the second rotating member 22 can penetrate through the first rotating member 21, the positions of the first rotating member 21 and the second rotating member 22 are limited, the first rotating member 21 and the second rotating member 22 can be clamped with each other, and the pushing mechanism 1 is in the pushing state.

Referring to fig. 3 and fig. 7 again, in the present embodiment, the pushing mechanism 1 satisfies at least one of the following conditions: the first elastic element 31 is in a compressed state, and one end of the first elastic element contacts the substrate 10, and the other end of the first elastic element contacts one side of the first rotating element 21 close to the substrate 10; the elastic force of the first elastic member 31 rotates the first pushing end 211 of the first rotating member 21 in a direction away from the substrate 10. The second elastic element 32 is in a compressed state, and one end of the second elastic element contacts the substrate 10, and the other end of the second elastic element contacts one side of the second rotating element 22 close to the substrate 10; the elastic force of the second elastic element 32 makes the second pushing end 221 of the second rotating element 22 rotate in a direction away from the substrate 10.

The above mentioned disclosure mentions that the first elastic element 31 and the second elastic element 32 can be used to rotate the first rotating element 21 and the second rotating element 22. As for the first elastic member 31, the first elastic member 31 may be in a compressed state, and one end of the first elastic member contacts the substrate 10, and the other end of the first elastic member contacts a side of the first rotating member 21 close to the substrate 10. Since the first elastic member 31 is in a compressed state, the first elastic member 31 has a resilient force, which can push the first rotating member 21 to rotate, so that the first pushing end 211 rotates in a direction away from the substrate 10. Similarly, the second elastic element 32 is in a compressed state, and two ends of the second elastic element contact the substrate 10, and the other two ends contact two sides of the second rotating element 22 close to the substrate 10. Since the second elastic element 32 is in a compressed state, the second elastic element 32 has a resilient force, which can push the second rotating element 22 to rotate, so that the second pushing end 221 rotates in a direction away from the substrate 10.

It should be noted that the first elastic member 31 and the second elastic member 32 can satisfy the above conditions independently, or can satisfy the above conditions simultaneously. For example, the first elastic member 31 alone may satisfy the above-described condition, the second elastic member 32 alone may satisfy the above-described condition, or both the first elastic member 31 and the second elastic member 32 may satisfy the above-described condition.

Alternatively, in other embodiments, the first elastic member 31 and the second elastic member 32 may be in a stretched state.

In the present embodiment, the elastic force of the first elastic member 31 is equal to or nearly equal to the elastic force of the second elastic member 32, so as to improve the synchronism and consistency of the rotation of the first rotating member 21 and the second rotating member 22.

As can be seen from the above, when the pushing mechanism 1 is in the pushing state, the first rotating member 21 and the second rotating member 22 both rotate at a certain angle relative to the substrate 10, and the connection line between the first pushing end 211 and the second pushing end 221 is parallel to the substrate 10. Two specific implementations are provided.

Referring to fig. 8, fig. 8 is a schematic cross-sectional view illustrating a pushing mechanism in a pushing state according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. In the present embodiment, the length of the first rotating member 21 is greater than that of the second rotating member 22, and when the pushing mechanism 1 is in the pushing state, the acute angle between the first rotating member 21 and the substrate 10 (as indicated by ═ a in fig. 8) is smaller than the acute angle between the second rotating member 22 and the substrate 10 (as indicated by × < b in fig. 8).

In the first implementation manner, when the lengths of the first rotating member 21 and the second rotating member 22 are different, if the two rotating members rotate by the same angle, the connection line between the first pushing end 211 and the second pushing end 221 cannot be parallel to the substrate 10, so the acute angle between the first rotating member 21 and the substrate 10 can be smaller than the acute angle between the second rotating member 22 and the substrate 10 in the present embodiment. In other words, the rotation angle of the first rotating member 21 having a long length is made smaller than that of the second rotating member 22 having a short length. This makes it possible to make the connection line between the first and second pushing ends 211 and 221 parallel to the substrate 10 by making the two rotating members rotate at different angles when the first and second rotating members 21 and 22 are engaged with each other. In addition, the length of the first rotating member 21 is different from the length of the second rotating member 22, so that the space on the substrate 10 can be saved, and other components, such as a control mechanism, can be added to the substrate 10.

Alternatively, in the present embodiment, when the first rotating member 21 and the second rotating member 22 are engaged with each other by designing the position and the size of the through hole 212, the angles between the first rotating member 21 and the substrate 10 are different from those between the second rotating member 22 and the substrate 10.

Referring to fig. 9, fig. 9 is a schematic cross-sectional view illustrating a pushing mechanism in a pushing state according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. In the present embodiment, the length of the first rotating member 21 is equal to the length of the second rotating member 22, and when the pushing mechanism 1 is in the pushing state, the acute angle between the first rotating member 21 and the substrate 10 is equal to the acute angle between the second rotating member 22 and the substrate 10.

In the second implementation manner, when the length of the first rotating member 21 is equal to the length of the second rotating member 22, the present embodiment may make the connection line between the first pushing end 211 and the second pushing end 221 parallel to the substrate 10 by making the acute angle between the first rotating member 21 and the substrate 10 equal to the acute angle between the second rotating member 22 and the substrate 10 when the first rotating member 21 and the second rotating member 22 are engaged with each other.

Referring to fig. 10, fig. 10 is an exploded view of a housing, a first rotating member, and a second rotating member according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In the present embodiment, the pushing mechanism 1 satisfies at least one of the following conditions: the first pushing end 211 has a first convex surface 213 that protrudes in a direction away from the substrate 10, and the first convex surface 213 is used for abutting against the cigarette 50. The second pushing end 221 has a second convex surface 224 protruding away from the base plate 10, and the second convex surface 224 is used for abutting against the cigarette 50.

In this embodiment, the first pushing end 211 has a first convex surface 213 that is convex in a direction away from the substrate 10, in other words, the first pushing end 211 has an arc-shaped convex surface, and the cigarette 50 is abutted by the arc-shaped first convex surface 213. Similarly, the second pushing end 221 may also have a second convex surface 224 which is convex in a direction away from the base plate 10, in other words, the second pushing end 221 has an arc-shaped convex surface, and abuts against the cigarette 50 by the arc-shaped second convex surface 224.

When the first pushing end 211 and the second pushing end 221 push the last cigarette 50, at least part of the first protruding surface 213 and at least part of the second protruding surface 224 need to enter the movement range of the cigarette discharging mechanism so that the last cigarette 50 can be pushed to the designated position, and in order to prevent the first protruding surface 213 and the second protruding surface 224 from interfering with the movement of the cigarette discharging mechanism, the shapes of the first protruding surface 213 and the second protruding surface 224 may be designed to be arc-shaped. In other embodiments, the shapes of the end surfaces of the first pushing end 211 and the second pushing end 221 may be changed according to the motion characteristics of the cigarette discharging mechanism and other structures in the cigarette case 2, which is not limited in the present application.

Alternatively, the pushing mechanism 1 in the present embodiment may have only the first pushing end 211 with the first convex surface 213, or only the second pushing end 221 with the second convex surface 224, or both the first pushing end 211 with the first convex surface 213 and the second pushing end 221 with the second convex surface 224.

Alternatively, the first pushing end 211 and the second pushing end 221 may be bent to form the first convex surface 213 and the second convex surface 224 facing away from the substrate 10.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 3 to fig. 5, and fig. 7 again, in the present embodiment, the substrate 10 has a receiving groove 11, and the receiving groove 11 is used for receiving the first elastic element 31, the second elastic element 32, at least a portion of the first rotating element 21, and at least a portion of the second rotating element 22.

The base plate 10 may be formed with a receiving slot 11, and the receiving slot 11 is used for receiving at least a portion of the two elastic members and the two rotating members. When the pushing mechanism 1 is in the retracted state, parts of the two rotating members are located in the accommodating groove 11, and the rest parts are located outside the accommodating groove 11. In the present embodiment, when the pushing mechanism 1 is in the retracted state, the two rotating parts are partially located in the accommodating slot 11, and the rest of the rotating parts are located outside the accommodating slot 11, so that the depth of the accommodating slot 11 is set to be relatively shallow, and the overall structure of the substrate 10 is light. Of course, in another embodiment, all of the two rotors may be located in the housing groove 11.

Referring to fig. 11-12 together, fig. 11 is a perspective view of a cigarette box according to an embodiment of the present application. Fig. 12 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the cigarette package of fig. 11.

the casing 40 is provided with a cigarette outlet 41 communicated with the cigarette storage space, and the pushing mechanism 1 is used for pushing at least one cigarette 50 along a direction close to the cigarette outlet 41.

It should be noted that, when the cigarette case 2 has a plurality of cigarette storage spaces corresponding to the pushing mechanism 1, the plurality of cigarette storage spaces are arranged at intervals, and the pushing mechanism 1 corresponding to each cigarette storage space is independently arranged. By adopting the pushing mechanism 1 provided by the above embodiment of the present application, the cigarette 50 can be pushed by using the pushing mechanism 1, so that one cigarette 50 far away from the substrate 10 can be arranged in the preset position, and the cigarette 50 can be conveniently moved out from the cigarette outlet 41.

The pushing mechanism 1 is used for pushing at least one cigarette 50 in a direction close to the cigarette outlet 41 (the pushing direction is shown in a direction D in fig. 11-12), and it should be noted that the present application does not limit the manner and specific structure of the cigarette 50 moving out of the cigarette outlet 41, for example, the user may directly dump the cigarette 50 out of the cigarette outlet 41, or move the cigarette 50 out of the cigarette outlet 41 for other mechanisms in the cigarette case 2.

The material of the casing 40 includes, but is not limited to, plastic, metal, polymer, etc., and the casing 40 can be used to protect the internal structure of the cigarette case 2 and the cigarettes 50, and prevent the internal structure of the cigarette case 2 and the cigarettes 50 from being damaged.
