[0025] exist Figure 1 and Figure 8 In the present invention, the multi-component composite filter rod switching device comprises a body 1, a cutting mechanism 2, a transport mechanism 3 and a reversing mechanism 4, wherein the cutting mechanism 2 is fixed on the body 1, a transport mechanism 3 is installed on the body 1 below the discharge port of the cutting mechanism 2, and a reversing mechanism 4 is installed on the body 1 in the transport direction of the transport mechanism 3. The cutting mechanism 2 is indexed by a mechanical indexing mechanism 5, and the reversing mechanism 4 takes material by a one-way airflow negative pressure in the transport direction of the transport mechanism 3. After taking material, the reversing mechanism 4 rotates horizontally 90° and then discharges the material to the outer end of the body 1 by closing the one-way airflow.

[0026] The cutting mechanism 2 includes a hopper 2.1, an arc-shaped cutting blade 2.2, a rotary cutter (not shown) and a rotating wheel with a material slot 2.3. The hopper 2.1 is fixed to the machine body 1. The rotating wheel with a material slot 2.3 is located at the discharge port of the hopper 2.1. Four rotating wheels with material slots 2.3 are keyed to the rotating shaft. A cutting gap 2.4 for the rotary cutter (not shown) to cut materials is left between adjacent rotating wheels with material slots 2.3. An arc-shaped cutting blade 2.2 is fixed to the hopper 2.1 at the feeding position of the hopper 2.1 and the rotating wheel with material slots 2.3. The arc-shaped cutting plate 2.2 is provided with arc-shaped cutting grooves 2.2.1 corresponding to the number of cutting gaps 2.4. The rotating cutter (not shown) passes through the arc-shaped cutting grooves 2.2.1 and cuts into the cutting gap 2.4. The rotating cutter (not shown) is driven by a motor (not shown) installed in the body 1. This structure is convenient for adjusting the cutting distance and when replacement is needed, only the problematic material groove rotor 2.3 needs to be replaced. The arc-shaped cutting plate 2.2 plays a guiding role while supporting the filter rod, so that the filter rod cutting quality is higher.

[0027] The bottom surface of the hopper 2.1 near the feeding point of the material trough wheel 2.3 is an inclined arc surface, and the inclination direction of the inclined arc surface is the same as the direction of the material trough wheel 2.3. The inclined arc surface facilitates pressing the filter rod into the material trough and prevents the material trough wheel 2.3 from bringing multiple filter rods to the rotating cutter (not shown) at one time.

[0028] The mechanical indexing mechanism 5 comprises an indexing box 5.1, a thumbwheel 5.2 and a groove wheel 5.3.

The thumbwheel 5.2 has two teeth (not shown) arranged symmetrically at 180°, and the groove wheel 5.3 has four grooves 5.3.1 arranged evenly at a central angle of 90°. The teeth (not shown) cooperate with the grooves 5.3.1 for movement, and the thumbwheel 5.2 is driven by the motor (not shown) in the machine body 1. The output end of the groove wheel 5.3 cooperates with the gear reduction mechanism (not shown) to output power through the gear 5.3.2. The output shaft of the gear reduction mechanism (not shown) is keyed to the rotating wheel 2.3 with the material trough. This form of mechanical indexing has high indexing accuracy and prevents the short filter rod from being unable to be horizontally dialed out after being cut off.

[0029] The transport mechanism 3 includes a chain transport mechanism 3.1, a gap-eliminating transport mechanism 3.2 and a belt transport mechanism 3.3. The chain transport mechanism 3.1 and the belt transport mechanism 3.3 are arranged on the side of the machine body 1. The gap-eliminating transport mechanism 3.2 is fixed to the machine body 1 through a base 3.2.2. The feeding end of the chain transport mechanism 3.1 is located directly below the rotating wheel 2.3 with a material trough.

The chain transport mechanism 3.1, the gap-eliminating transport mechanism 3.2 and the belt transport mechanism 3.3 are driven by a motor (not shown) in the machine body 1. A horizontal guide groove 1.1 is arranged on the machine body 1 below the gap-eliminating transport mechanism 3.2 and above the chain transport mechanism 3.1. The gap-eliminating transport mechanism 3.2 can arrange the short filter rods after cutting and output them at a required distance.

[0030] A pressing plate 6 is fixed on the horizontal guide groove 1.1 at the output end of the gap-eliminating transport mechanism 3.2. An arc groove 6.1 is provided on the bottom surface of the pressing plate 6 for the cut filter rod to pass through, so as to prevent the short filter rod at the output end of the gap-eliminating transport mechanism 3.2 from tilting.

[0031] The reversing mechanism 4 comprises a rotating frame 4.1, which is circular, and four feeding arms 4.2 are evenly fixed on the inner wall of the rotating frame 4.1 at a central angle of 90°. The feeding arms 4.2 are fixed to a rotating sleeve 4.4 located at the center of the rotating frame 4.1 through a horizontal arm 4.3. The rotating sleeve 4.4 is driven by a motor (not shown) in the body 1 to rotate. A support shaft 4.5 is fixed in the body 1 at the center of the rotating sleeve 4.4, and a cam 4.6 is fixed on the support shaft 4.5. There are vent holes 4.4.1 on the wall of the rotating sleeve 4.4, and a horizontal ventilation pipe 4.3 is provided in the horizontal arm 4.3. .1, there is a vertical ventilation duct 4.2.1 in the material taking arm 4.2, the ventilation hole 4.4.1, the horizontal ventilation duct 4.3.1 and the vertical ventilation duct 4.2.1 are connected, and there is a one-way valve structure 4.2.2 in the vertical ventilation duct 4.2.1. When the one-way valve structure 4.2.2 is in the normally open state, there is a negative pressure in the material taking arm 4.2, and the one-way valve structure 4.2.2 is controlled to be closed by the contact between the cam 4.6 and the one-way valve structure 4.2.2. Pneumatic suction reversing is adopted to prevent the short filter rod from being damaged. In addition, there is no need for a reversing valve, and only a one-way airflow is needed to realize material taking and releasing.

[0032] The cam 4.6 includes a circular wheel 4.6.1, and there are two protrusions 4.6.2 on the outer ring of the circular wheel 4.6.1. The two protrusions 4.6.2 are arranged at a central angle of 90 degrees. One protrusion 4.6.2 contacts the one-way valve structure 4.2.2 of the material taking arm 4.2 rotated to the top of the belt conveyor mechanism 3.3. The material taking arm 4.2 rotated to the top of the belt conveyor mechanism 3.3 and then rotated 90 degrees to contact the other protrusion 4.6.2. The one-way valve structure 4.2.2 includes a sliding air block 4.2.2.1 that is slidably engaged with the vertical ventilation pipe 4.2.1. The sliding air block 4.2.2.1 has a sliding air block 4.2.2.1 that is connected to the bottom and the side. The bottom surface of the sliding air block 4.2.2.1 is in an arc shape that matches the shape of the short filter rod. A spring push block 4.2.2.2 is embedded on the top of the sliding air block 4.2.2.1. A rotating pressure block 4.2.2.3 is hinged in the feeding arm 4.2 on the right side of the spring push block 4.2.2.2. The rotating pressure block 4.2.2.3 can rotate and squeeze the spring push block 4.2.2.2. The top surface of the horizontal arm 4.3 is slidably connected to a spring push rod 4.2.2.4. The left end of the spring push rod 4.2.2.4 contacts the rotating pressure block 4.2.2.3, and the right end of the spring push rod 4.2.2.4 can contact the protrusion 4.6.2.

[0033] The top of the spring push block 4.2.2.2 is an arc-shaped surface, and the cross-section of the rotating pressure block 4.2.2.3 is triangular. The corner of the rotating pressure block 4.2.2.3 that squeezes the spring push block 4.2.2.2 is a horizontal section with a through hole. The right side of the rotating pressure block 4.2.2.3 contacts the left end of the spring push rod 4.2.2.4. The push of the spring push block 4.2.2.2 is a line contact, and the force is more uniform.

[0034] A bearing 4.2.2.5 is fixed to the right end of the spring push rod 4.2.2.4, and the bearing 4.2.2.5 can contact with the protrusion 4.6.2 to reduce friction and vibration.

[0035] The top surface of the machine body 1 below the circular wheel 4.6.1 is provided with an arc-shaped guide groove 1.2 for the bottom of the sliding air block 4.2.2.1 to slide, so that the sliding air block 4.2.2.1 is closer to the short filter rod, which is convenient for the suction of the short filter rod.

[0036] When in use, the motor (not shown) drives the thumbwheel 5.2 to rotate. The thumbwheel 5.2 rotates one circle, and the groove wheel 5.3 rotates 180°. After the gear reduction mechanism (not shown) changes speed, the material groove wheel 2.3 rotates one grid counterclockwise, and after being cut by the rotating cutter (not shown), it falls from the material groove wheel 2.3 to the chain conveyor mechanism 3.1, and is moved to the gap-eliminating conveyor mechanism 3.2 through the lever 3.1.1. It is output to the belt conveyor mechanism 3.3 at equal intervals through the gap-eliminating conveyor mechanism 3.2. The motor (not shown) drives the circular wheel 4.6.1 to rotate clockwise, thereby driving the material picking arm 4.2 to pass through the arc guide groove 1.2 on the body 1. When the material picking arm 4.2 runs above the belt conveyor mechanism 3.3, the spring push rod 4.2.2.4 contacts the protrusion 4.6.2, and the spring push rod 4.2.2.4 contacts the protrusion 4.6.2. The rod 4.2.2.4 pushes the rotating pressure block 4.2.2.3 to rotate, squeezing the spring push block 4.2.2.2. The spring push block 4.2.2.2 drives the sliding air block 4.2.2.1 to move downward while closing the horizontal ventilation duct 4.3.1. When the material taking arm 4.2 leaves the top of the belt conveyor mechanism 3.3, the horizontal ventilation duct 4.3.1 is opened, and the sliding air block 4.2.2.1 generates negative pressure to suck the short filter rod after the rod is broken. After the material taking arm 4.2 rotates 90° clockwise, the spring push rod 4.2.2.4 contacts another protrusion 4.6.2, and the horizontal ventilation duct 4.3.1 is closed. The material taking arm 4.2 that sucks the short filter rod discharges the material to the outer end of the body 1. Multiple devices of the present invention are arranged in parallel, and can be directly discharged onto a conveyor belt, and then compositely formed by the filter rod forming machine.
