The jig transport track 15 is symmetrically arranged relative to the jig 13 return track. The jig transport track 15 runs from the paper tube unloading mechanism 1 to the finished product unloading mechanism 12. After that, the jig 13 on the jig transport track 15 is clamped by the jig transfer mechanism 14, and then transferred to the jig 13 return track for reflux, so as to circulate the jig 13 to the vicinity of the paper tube unloading mechanism 1.

[0031] In this embodiment, the entire production and filling process of the herbal plant filling production line is as follows:

[0032] 1. The jig 13 is placed on the jig transport track 15, and the jig 13 is transported to the paper tube feeding mechanism 1, and the paper tube feeding mechanism 1 arranges the paper tubes;

[0033] 2. The jig transport track 15 continues to operate, the jig 13 and the paper tube are transported to the herb feeding, and the herb feeding mechanism 2 feeds the herb particles into the paper tube;

[0034] 3. Then, the jig 13 and the paper tube are transported to the first dripping mechanism 3, and the first dripping mechanism 3 drips the liquid into the paper tube;

[0035] 4. The jig 13 and the paper tube containing the moistened herbal plant particles are transported to the soft spacer unloading mechanism 4 through the jig transport track 15, and the soft spacer unloading mechanism 4 drops the soft spacer into the paper tube;

[0036] 5. Next, the jig 13 and the paper tube containing the moistened herbal plant particles and the soft separator are transported to the second dripping mechanism 5, and the second dripping mechanism 5 drips liquid into the paper tube to moisten the herbal plant particles and the soft separator in the paper tube again, so as to add fragrance to the herbal plant particles or increase humidity to the herbal plant particles;

[0037] 6. In order to allow the subsequent hard isolation piece to easily fall into the paper tube, the jig transport track 15 transports the jig 13 and the paper tube to the first hole expansion mechanism 6, and the first hole expansion mechanism 6 performs hole expansion operation on the paper tube;

[0038] 7. After the paper tube is expanded, the jig 13 and the paper tube are transported to the spacer unloading mechanism, and the hard spacer unloading mechanism 7 drops the hard spacer into the paper tube;

[0039] 8. After the hard spacer falls into the paper tube, the jig 13 and the paper tube are transported to the filter particle feeding mechanism 8, and the filter particle feeding mechanism 8 drops the filter particles into the paper tube;

[0040] 9. The jig 13 and the paper tube are transported to the popping bead unloading mechanism 9, and the popping bead unloading mechanism 9 drops the popping beads into the paper tube;

[0044] 13. The jig 13 is clamped by the jig transfer mechanism 14 near the finished product unloading mechanism 12, and then transferred to the jig return track 16.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The herb feeding mechanism 2 includes a hopper 20, a limit frame 21, a feeding frame 22, and a driving mechanism 23. The driving mechanism 23 drives the limit frame 21 to align with the hopper 20 so that the herb particles in the hopper 20 fall into the limit frame 21, and then the limit frame 21 slides in the feeding frame 22, so that the herb particles in the limit frame 21 fall into the feeding frame 22.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The herb feeding mechanism 2 also includes a pressing mechanism 24, which is installed on one side of the hopper 20. The pressing mechanism 24 includes a first driving device 240, a pressing plate 241 and a pressing piece 242. The pressing plate 241 is installed below the first driving device 240, and the pressing piece 242 is installed below the pressing plate 241. The first driving device 240 drives the pressing plate 241 and the pressing piece 242 to press down, so that the pressing piece 242 presses the herb plant particles in the feeding frame 22 into the paper tube.

[0047] Furthermore, the herb feeding mechanism 2 further includes a guide plate 243 , and the guide plate 243 is provided with a plurality of through holes 244 .

[0048] In this embodiment, the process of the herb feeding mechanism 2 dropping the herb particles into the paper tube is as follows:

[0049] 1. First, the first driving device 240 is turned on. The first driving device 240 drives the pressing plate 241 and the pressing member 242 to rise, so as to prevent the limiting frame 21 from being blocked by the pressing member 242 when sliding;

[0050] 2. Then drive the driving mechanism 23, and the driving mechanism 23 drives the limit frame 21 to slide in the direction close to the hopper 20 until the limit frame 21 is aligned with the discharge port of the hopper 20;

[0051] 3. Then, the herbal plant particles are poured from the hopper 20 , and the herbal plant particles fall into the limiting frame 21 along the hopper 20 . Since the bottom of the limiting frame 21 is not aligned with the through hole 244 of the guide plate 243 , the herbal plant particles in the limiting frame 21 are still stuck in the limiting frame 21 .

[0052] 4. Drive the driving mechanism 23 again, and the driving mechanism 23 drives the limit frame 21 to slide toward the pressing piece 242, and then the driving mechanism 23 drives the limit frame 21 to return to the original position, completing a reciprocating motion; in the process of the limit frame 21 completing a reciprocating motion, the limit frame 21 slides through the through hole 244 of the guide plate 243, so that the herbal plant particles fall into the through hole 244, and then fall into the paper tube below the guide plate 243 along the through hole 244.

[0053] 5. Since the herbal plant particles are easily blocked in the through hole 244, after the limit frame 21 returns to the original position, the first driving device 240 drives the pressing plate 241 and the pressing member 242 to press down, so that the pressing member 242 can poke the herbal plant particles blocked in the through hole 244 into the paper tube under the guide plate 243.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 5 The first dripping mechanism 3 and the second dripping mechanism 5 are arranged on both sides of the soft isolation part feeding mechanism 4. The first dripping mechanism 3 and the second dripping mechanism 5 are both provided with a mounting frame 50, a moving component 51 and a plurality of dripping tubes 52. The dripping tubes 52 are installed in the moving component 51. The moving component 51 is movably connected to the mounting frame 50, and the moving component 51 can be raised and lowered relative to the mounting frame 50.

[0055] Furthermore, the movement component 51 includes a guide column 510 and a mounting plate 511 . The guide column 510 is movably connected to the mounting frame 50 . The mounting plate 511 is fixedly installed under the guide column 510 . The drip tube 52 is installed on the mounting plate 511 .

[0056] In this embodiment, the first dripping mechanism 3 is located between the herbaceous plant feeding mechanism 2 and the soft isolation member feeding mechanism 4 , and the second dripping mechanism 5 is located between the soft isolation member feeding mechanism 4 and the first hole expanding mechanism 6 .

[0057] When the moving assembly 51 is raised or lowered by the mounting frame 50 , the drip tube 52 is driven to be raised or lowered together, so that the drip tube 52 is extended into the paper tube to perform the dripping operation.

[0058] Furthermore, the soft spacer unloading mechanism 4 includes a conveying pipe 40, and the soft spacer falls into the paper tube from the conveying pipe 40.

[0059] In this embodiment, the first liquid dripping mechanism 3 drips liquid into the paper tube, and then the first liquid dripping mechanism 3 drops the soft isolation member into the paper tube, and the soft isolation member can absorb part of the liquid.

[0060] Please refer to Figure 6 The first reaming mechanism 6 and the second reaming mechanism are both provided with a second driving device 60 and a reaming head 61, and the second driving device 60 can drive the reaming head 61 to press downward.

[0061] In this embodiment, both the first reaming mechanism 6 and the second reaming mechanism can perform reaming operations on the paper tube, and the second driving device 60 drives the reaming head 61 to press down, and after the reaming head 61 reams the paper tube, the second driving device 60 drives the reaming head 61 to rise and reset.

[0062] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 7 , and the filled herb production line is installed on a frame 17, and the filled herb production line is covered with a protective cover 18.

[0063] In this embodiment, the filling herb production line is installed on a frame 17, and the protective cover 18 can play a role in dust prevention.

[0064] Of course, the present invention may have many other implementations. Based on this implementation, other implementations obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without any creative work are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
