Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to cigarette making equipment, in particular to a cigarette firmware compounding system. Background Art

[0002] The composite filter rod commonly referred to in the tobacco industry refers to two or more filter rod segments of different varieties connected end to end, then wrapped with the same molding paper, and composited manually or on a composite molding machine. The composite filter rod can be made into a composite cigarette filter after being cut in the length direction. In the composite filter rod, a fixing is often sandwiched between the two filter rod segments. For the specific structure, please refer to the relevant contents disclosed in the Chinese invention patents CN107568786A and CN109938404A.

[0003] In the production process of composite filter rods, it is necessary to implant short and small cylindrical fasteners between two filter rod segments. Since manual implantation is very inefficient, in order to improve production efficiency, it is necessary to consider adopting assembly line automation production online implantation. Before online implantation of fasteners, a large number of fasteners must be sorted so that they can be transferred one by one in an orderly manner in a specific direction to the filter rod production line. However, the prior art lacks effective material sorting equipment. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a cigarette hardware compounding system, aiming to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art.

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: a cigarette firmware complex feeding system, which includes a frame and a plurality of material handling and conveying kits arranged on the frame for dialing firmware onto a filter rod conveyor belt on one side of the frame, each of the material handling and conveying kits includes a vibrating material handling mechanism, a loading mechanism, a feeding mechanism and a firmware dialing mechanism, the vibrating material handling mechanism includes a spiral vibrating material handling plate and a linear vibrating feeder, the discharge end of the spiral vibrating material handling plate feeds the vibration-trimmed firmware to the loading mechanism through the linear vibrating feeder, the loading mechanism feeds the firmware from the linear vibrating feeder into the inlet of the feeding mechanism, the outlet of the feeding mechanism is connected to the inlet of the firmware dialing mechanism, and the filter rod conveyor belt is provided below the outlet of the firmware dialing mechanism.

[0006] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can also be improved as follows.

[0007] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism includes a material guide plate, a material receiving wheel and a first driving motor that drives the material receiving wheel to rotate, the material guide plate is located at the rear side of the material receiving wheel and a material guide channel docking with the material receiving wheel is opened on the front side of the material guide plate, a plurality of material taking grooves are evenly spaced along the circumferential direction on the cylindrical side wall of the material receiving wheel, each of the material taking grooves extends along the axial direction of the material receiving wheel, a plurality of material taking holes corresponding to the linear track of the linear vibrating feeder are provided at the bottom of the material taking groove, a negative pressure distribution disk connected to the negative pressure extraction mechanism is provided at one end of the material receiving wheel, air ducts corresponding to the material taking grooves are provided in the material receiving wheel, each air duct is connected to all the material taking holes at the bottom of the corresponding material taking groove and the air duct extends to the end face of the material receiving wheel corresponding to the negative pressure distribution disk.

[0008] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further scheme is that the material receiving wheel is driven to rotate by the first driving motor, a material taking trough is provided on the outer wall of the material receiving wheel, an air duct is provided inside, and a negative pressure distribution disk is provided at one end. The material taking trough takes material at the front side through negative pressure, and then rotates to the rear side to lose the negative pressure and transfer the material to the material guide channel. The structural design is ingenious, and it is connected with the discharge end of the linear vibrating feeder, which can well load the sorted water cup firmware into the material guide channel for subsequent further transportation and implantation.

[0009] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism includes a chain conveying assembly and a pneumatic conveying assembly, the pneumatic conveying assembly includes a conveying pipe and an air conveyor arranged on the conveying pipe, the chain conveying assembly includes a transmission box, the top of the transmission box is covered with the guide plate, the feed end of the conveying pipe is connected with the discharge end of the guide channel, the transmission box is provided with a driving wheel, a driven wheel and a transmission chain, the transmission box is provided with a second driving motor for driving the transmission chain to rotate around the driving wheel and the transmission wheel, the transmission chain is provided with one or multiple pushing pieces evenly spaced, the pushing pieces can extend into the guide channel and push the material therein into the conveying pipe.

[0010] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further scheme is that the combined use of the chain conveying component and the pneumatic conveying component can ensure that the water cup firmware is better transferred from the loading mechanism to the feeding mechanism and smoothly conveyed to the next link; usually the pneumatic conveying component requires a certain airtightness to ensure the formation of a pumping force on the material. If only pneumatic conveying is used, it is difficult to generate a large enough pumping force at the connection with the loading mechanism, and the material is not easy to be transported forward. In addition, if only chain conveying is used, although it has a large enough pushing force, if the running trajectory during material transportation is not a straight line, it cannot be effectively transported. At the same time, even if it is a straight line, when the conveying route is long, a longer and larger transmission box needs to be set, which occupies the installation space and is inconvenient to use. Therefore, the combined use of the two can avoid the shortcomings of using each alone and better realize the feeding function.

[0011] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism also includes a bearing fixing column and a motor fixing frame, the first driving motor is fixed on the motor fixing frame and the output end of the first driving motor passes through the axial hole at the top of the bearing fixing column and the center hole of the negative pressure distribution disk and is fixedly connected to the center of one end of the material receiving wheel, the negative pressure distribution disk is fixed to the side of the bearing fixing column close to the material receiving wheel, a bearing is fixed in the axial hole at the top of the bearing fixing column, and a negative pressure channel connected to the negative pressure distribution disk is provided in the bearing fixing column.

[0012] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further scheme is that the structure is simple, which facilitates the fixation of the first drive motor and the connection between the rotating shaft at its output end and the material receiving wheel; the negative pressure distribution plate is fixed on the bearing fixing column, and no additional fixing parts are required, which is conducive to structural simplification.

[0013] Furthermore, a friction plate is arranged between the receiving wheel and the negative pressure distribution plate, the center of the friction plate is provided with a mounting hole for the output end of the first drive motor to pass through and be fixedly connected, and the periphery of the friction plate is provided with through holes corresponding one by one to the airway openings on the end face of the receiving wheel.

[0014] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further scheme is that the friction coefficient of the friction disc is small and wear-resistant, ensuring that when the drive motor drives the receiving wheel to rotate relative to the negative pressure distribution disc, the wear of the negative pressure distribution disc is reduced and the sealing performance is ensured.

[0015] Furthermore, a plurality of material discharging grooves are evenly spaced axially on the cylindrical side wall of the material receiving wheel, and each of the material discharging grooves is an annular groove coaxial with the material receiving wheel. A second material discharging piece corresponding to the material discharging groove is fixedly provided on the rear side of the material receiving wheel below the material guide plate so that all the hardware that rotates to the rear side with the material trough can enter the material guide channel.

[0016] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further scheme is that the second material shifting piece is inserted into the material shifting trough at the lower rear side. When the material trough rotates to the second material shifting piece, the second material shifting piece can enter the material trough and shift the water cup firmware that has not entered the material guide trough in time out of the material trough and enter the material guide trough, ensuring that there is no water cup firmware originally carried in the material trough every time it reaches the front side.

[0017] Furthermore, the material guide plate includes a first material guide plate and a second material guide plate which are connected end to end and extend in the left and right directions. The first material guide plate is provided with a material guide groove on the front side, and the second material guide plate is provided with a material guide through hole which is correspondingly connected to the material guide groove. The material guide groove and the material guide through hole constitute the material guide channel, the feed end of the conveying pipe extends into the material guide channel, and the discharge end of the conveying pipe extends to the outside of the material guide through hole.

[0018] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further scheme is that the first and second material guide plates, the former is provided with a material guide groove, so the larger front side opening is convenient for the feeding mechanism to feed materials into the material guide channel, and the latter is provided with a material guide through hole to facilitate the insertion of the conveying pipe and the connection between the conveying pipe and the material guide channel.

[0019] The cam is provided with an outlet on the side of the guide groove, and the filter conveyor belt is located below the outlet to receive the outlet pushed down by the first material shifting piece from the guide groove.

[0020] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further scheme is that the follow-up pushing assembly can push the firmware output from the output pipe outlet into the guide groove one by one, and then the rotating dial wheel pushes the firmware one by one onto the filter rod conveyor belt through the first material-push piece, thereby completing the implantation of the firmware between two adjacent filter rods on the filter rod conveyor belt. The structural design is ingenious and the automatic implantation efficiency is high.

[0021] Furthermore, the follower pusher assembly includes a fixed block, a slide rail, a slider, a guide rod, a push block, a follower wheel and a return spring. The base plate is fixed above the bottom plate by a support. An installation groove is provided on the upper surface of the bottom plate in an area corresponding to the slide groove. The fixed block and the slide rail are both fixed in the installation groove. The slider is slidably connected to the slide rail and one side is fixedly connected to one end of the guide rod. The other end of the guide rod passes through the fixed block and slidably cooperates. A return spring is sleeved on the guide rod, and the return spring is clamped between the fixed block and the slider. The push block and the follower wheel are provided on the upper surface of the sliding block, the follower wheel is in contact with the cam wheel edge, the push block extends into the slide groove and slides back and forth in the slide groove, the top surface of the push block is provided with an arc groove that can just accommodate a fixture, when the push block slides to the extreme position close to the fixed block, the arc groove is just aligned with the discharge port of the conveying pipe, when the push block slides to the extreme position close to the thumb wheel, the arc groove is just aligned with the guide groove to fill the gap, and the driving assembly includes a third driving motor.

[0022] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further solution is that the follow-up pushing assembly of the above structure does not need to be equipped with a power mechanism separately but can cooperate with the driving assembly cam of the driving assembly to follow the movement, and the structural design is exquisite.

[0023] Furthermore, two sets of the material handling and conveying kits are provided on the frame.

[0024] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further solution is that the two sets are operated in parallel, the implantation speed is doubled, the filter rod conveyor belt can run faster, and the production efficiency is improved.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects and advantages of the present invention are as follows:

[0026] It integrates the firmware sorting, loading, feeding and dialing mechanisms in one, with a high degree of automation, and can realize the rapid online implantation of cigarette firmware onto the filter rod conveyor belt one by one, with high implantation efficiency, which is beneficial to improving production efficiency; the loading mechanism adopts negative pressure to absorb the material and transfers it to the feeding mechanism after rotation, which is beneficial to the effective loading of multiple firmware at one time; the feeding mechanism uses a combination of chain conveying and pneumatic conveying to overcome the shortcomings of simple pneumatic conveying, that is, the firmware is difficult to enter initially and the force of pneumatic pumping is small, which may easily lead to pneumatic conveying failure; the dialing mechanism adopts a structure in which the follow-up pushing component is pushed in and dialed off one by one, and multiple firmware can be dialed off one by one with each rotation of the dial wheel as needed, with a low error rate and no problem of missing firmware.

[0051] like Figures 1 to 16 As shown, the present invention provides a cigarette firmware compounding system, which includes a frame 1 and a plurality of material handling and conveying kits arranged on the frame 1 for dialing firmware onto a filter rod conveyor belt 2 on one side of the frame 1, each of the material handling and conveying kits includes a vibrating material handling mechanism 3, a loading mechanism 4, a feeding mechanism 5 and a firmware dialing mechanism 6, the vibrating material handling mechanism 3 includes a spiral vibrating material handling tray 30 and a linear vibrating feeder 31, the discharge end of the spiral vibrating material handling tray 30 feeds the vibration-trimmed firmware to the loading mechanism 4 through the linear vibrating feeder 31, the loading mechanism 4 feeds the firmware from the linear vibrating feeder 31 into the inlet of the feeding mechanism 5, the outlet of the feeding mechanism 5 is connected to the inlet of the firmware dialing mechanism 6, and the filter rod conveyor belt 2 is provided below the outlet of the firmware dialing mechanism 6.

[0052] It should be noted that the filter rod conveyor belt, the vibrating material handling mechanism, the loading mechanism, the feeding mechanism and the firmware dialing mechanism all have independent driving mechanisms, preferably servo motors.

[0053] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figures 3 to 7As shown, the feeding mechanism 4 includes a material guide plate 40, a material receiving wheel 41 and a first driving motor 42 that drives the material receiving wheel 41 to rotate. The material guide plate 40 is located at the rear side of the material receiving wheel 41 and a material guide channel that docks with the material receiving wheel 41 is opened on the front side of the material guide plate 40. A plurality of material taking grooves 44 are evenly spaced along the circumferential direction on the cylindrical side wall of the material receiving wheel 41. Each of the material taking grooves 44 extends along the axial direction of the material receiving wheel 41. The bottom of the groove 44 is A plurality of feeding holes 45 corresponding one-to-one to the linear track of the linear vibrating feeder 31 are provided, one end of the feeding wheel 41 is provided with a negative pressure distribution disk 46 connected to the negative pressure extraction mechanism, and air channels 47 corresponding one-to-one to the feeding troughs 44 are provided in the feeding wheel 41, each air channel 47 is connected to all the feeding holes 45 at the bottom of the corresponding feeding trough 44, and the air channel 47 extends to the end face of the feeding wheel 41 corresponding to the negative pressure distribution disk 46.

[0054] It should be noted that the axial cross-section of each material taking trough is preferably an arc groove recessed in each direction toward the central axis of the receiving wheel; each material taking trough bottom is preferably provided with 4-6 material taking holes, and the multiple material taking holes are evenly spaced in the axial direction of the receiving wheel, and the corresponding discharge end of the vibrating material sorting tray has a feeding guide rail corresponding to each of the material taking holes.

[0055] On the basis of the above embodiment, the feeding mechanism 4 also includes a bearing fixing column and a motor fixing frame, the first driving motor 42 is fixed on the motor fixing frame and its output end passes through the axial hole at the top of the bearing fixing column and the center hole of the negative pressure distribution disk 46 and is fixedly connected to the center of one end of the material receiving wheel 41, the negative pressure distribution disk 46 is fixed to the side of the bearing fixing column close to the material receiving wheel 41, a bearing is fixed in the axial hole at the top of the bearing fixing column, and a negative pressure channel connected to the negative pressure distribution disk 46 is provided in the bearing fixing column.

[0056] It can be understood that a ball bearing is fixed in the shaft hole at the top of the bearing fixing column, which is sleeved on the rotating shaft at the output end of the driving motor to support and limit the rotating shaft.

[0057] In addition, if Figure 7As shown, the negative pressure gas distribution plate includes a fixed plate fixedly connected to the bearing fixing column and a distribution plate fixedly connected to the fixed plate, an annular gas distribution groove is provided on the end surface of the fixed plate facing the distribution plate, a partition block is provided at the bottom of the annular gas distribution groove, and air extraction holes connected to the negative pressure channel are provided on both sides of the partition block, and an arc-shaped ventilation groove is provided on the end surface of the distribution plate close to the fixed plate, and the arc-shaped ventilation groove corresponds to the annular gas distribution groove and always maintains communication with two air passages located above the horizontal plane on the end surface of the receiving wheel. When the receiving wheel rotates, when each of the material taking troughs rotates to the front side, the material taking hole has negative pressure and adsorbs the water cup fixture, and when it rotates to the rear side, the material taking hole loses negative pressure and loses negative pressure adsorption, and the water cup fixture falls into the material guide trough. A cover plate for covering the material guide trough from above is also fixed on the material guide plate. When the cover plate is closed on the top of the material guide trough, the front side of the material guide trough has a notch corresponding to the material receiving wheel for the water cup fixture to enter the material guide trough. In addition, if Figure 1 As shown, an arc-shaped material guarding plate is also covered on the top of the material receiving wheel, and a horizontal fixing part is provided at one end of the material guarding plate close to the cover plate, and the horizontal fixing part is fixedly connected to the cover plate.

[0058] On the basis of the above embodiment, a friction disk 49 is further arranged between the receiving wheel 41 and the negative pressure distribution disk 46, and a mounting hole is provided in the center of the friction disk 49 for the output end of the first drive motor 42 to pass through and be fixedly connected, and through holes are provided around the friction disk 49 that correspond one by one to the openings of the air duct 47 on the end face of the receiving wheel 41.

[0059] It should be noted that the friction disc is preferably made of polytetrafluoroethylene, which has a small friction coefficient and is wear-resistant, and has good air tightness after being compressed and is not prone to air leakage.

[0060] On the basis of the above embodiment, a plurality of material discharging grooves 48 are evenly spaced along the axial direction on the cylindrical side wall of the material receiving wheel 41, and each of the material discharging grooves 48 is an annular groove coaxial with the material receiving wheel 41. The rear side of the material receiving wheel 41 is located below the material guide plate 40 and is fixed with a second material discharging piece corresponding to the material discharging groove 48 one by one so that all the hardware that rotates to the rear side with the material retrieval groove 44 can enter the material guide channel.

[0061] It should be noted that the second material-moving sheet is in the shape of a sheet with a thickness slightly smaller than the width of the material-moving trough, and it can push out the water cup hardware in the material-taking trough to prevent it from further rotating with the material-taking trough.

[0062] The operating principle of the feeding mechanism is that the receiving wheel rotates under the drive of the first driving motor, and one end of the receiving wheel is provided with a negative pressure distribution plate connected to the negative pressure extraction mechanism. The structural design of the negative pressure distribution plate can ensure that when the receiving wheel rotates, the two airway openings on its end surface located above the horizontal plane can obtain negative pressure, so that the material taking hole connected to the airway can suck the water cup firmware due to negative pressure at the front side to complete the material taking, and then rotate upward and backward to approach the material guide trough and lose the negative pressure when approaching the material guide trough. The water cup firmware in the material taking trough enters the material guide trough under the action of centrifugation and its own gravity (the design of the second material picking piece and the material picking trough can ensure that a small amount of water cup firmware that fails to enter the material guide trough smoothly after the above action can also be fully picked into the material guide trough). After entering the material guide trough, the loading is completed, and then the feeding mechanism is started to allow the material in the material guide trough to continue to be transported to the next link.

[0063] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figures 8 to 11 As shown, the feeding mechanism 5 includes a chain conveying assembly and a pneumatic conveying assembly, the pneumatic conveying assembly includes a conveying pipe 50 and an air conveyor 51 arranged on the conveying pipe 50, the chain conveying assembly includes a transmission box 52, the top of the transmission box 52 is covered with the guide plate 40, the feed end of the conveying pipe 50 is connected with the discharge end of the guide channel, the transmission box 52 is provided with a driving wheel, a driven wheel and a transmission chain 53, the transmission box 52 is provided with a second driving motor 54 for driving the transmission chain 53 to rotate around the driving wheel and the transmission wheel, the transmission chain 53 is provided with one or a plurality of pushing pieces 55 evenly spaced, the pushing pieces 55 can extend into the guide channel and push the material therein into the conveying pipe 50.

[0064] It should be noted that the air conveyor is preferably arranged on the pipe section of the conveying pipe outside the material guide plate; here, the transmission chain should be understood in a broad sense, including the chain in the literal sense, and should also include conventional belts, synchronous belts, etc.

[0065] Based on the above embodiments, Fig.10 and 11As shown, the material guide plate 40 includes a first material guide plate 40 and a second material guide plate 40 which are connected end to end and extend in the left and right directions. A material guide groove 43 is provided at the front side of the first material guide plate 40, and a material guide through hole corresponding to and communicating with the material guide groove 43 is provided in the second material guide plate 40. The material guide groove 43 and the material guide through hole constitute the material guide channel. The feed end of the conveying pipe 50 extends into the material guide channel, and the discharge end of the conveying pipe 50 extends out of the material guide through hole. The material guide groove, the material guide through hole, and the bottom of the pipe section of the conveying pipe extending into the material guide through hole are all provided with a pushing gap on the same straight line, and the pushing piece can pass through the pushing gap to enter the material guide groove, the material guide through hole, and the corresponding pipe section of the conveying pipe. There are a plurality of push pieces, which are evenly spaced around the transmission chain. The bottom of each push piece is fixedly connected to the upper front part of the transmission chain. When the push piece moves with the transmission chain to the bottom of the guide plate, the top of the push piece can extend into the guide channel through the push gap. Specifically, there are a plurality of push pieces, which are evenly spaced around the transmission chain. The bottom of each push piece is fixedly connected to the upper front part of the transmission chain. When the push piece moves with the transmission chain to the bottom of the guide plate, the top of the push piece can extend into the guide channel through the push gap.

[0066] The basic operating principle of the feeding mechanism is that after the feeding mechanism feeds the water cup firmware into the guide channel (guide trough) of the chain conveying group from the front side, the transmission chain of the chain conveying assembly, under the action of the driving motor, pushes the above-mentioned water cup firmware to the feed end of the conveying pipe of the pneumatic conveying assembly through the pushing piece extending into the guide channel, and then the air conveyor continues to pump the water cup firmware entering the feed end to the discharge end of the conveying pipe.

[0067] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figures 12 to 16As shown, the firmware dialing mechanism 6 includes a base plate 60 arranged on one side of the filter rod conveyor belt 2, and the upper surface of the base plate 60 is provided with a linear fixing groove for fixing the conveying pipe 50 and a mounting groove for installing the thumbwheel 61, and a circular guide groove 62 is provided in the mounting groove, and the fixing groove is tangent to the guide groove 62 and the base plate 60 at the tangent point is provided with a slide groove 63 perpendicular to the fixing groove, and the slide groove 63 extends to the guide groove 62 and forms a notch on the guide groove 62, and a fixture for pushing the firmware output from the conveying pipe 50 into the guide groove 62 is provided in the slide groove 63. The follower pushing assembly of the guide groove 62, the periphery of the thumbwheel 61 is provided with a first material-push piece 64 extending into the guide groove 62, a cam 65 and a driving assembly are provided below the base plate 60, the driving assembly can drive the cam 65 and the thumbwheel 61 to rotate synchronously, the rotating cam 65 can drive the follower pushing assembly to slide back and forth in the slide groove 63, the guide groove 62 is provided with an outlet on one side close to the filter rod conveyor belt 2, the filter rod conveyor belt 2 is located below the outlet to receive the hardware pushed off from the guide groove 62 by the first material-push piece 64.

[0068] On the basis of the above embodiment, the follower pusher assembly includes a fixed block 66, a slide rail, a slider 67, a guide rod, a push block 68, a follower wheel 69 and a reset spring. The base plate 60 is fixed above the bottom plate by a support. The upper surface of the bottom plate and the corresponding area of ​​the slide groove 63 are provided with a mounting groove. The fixed block 66 and the slide rail are both fixed in the mounting groove. The slider 67 is slidably connected to the slide rail and one side is fixedly connected to one end of the guide rod. The other end of the guide rod passes through the fixed block 66 and slidably cooperates. A reset spring is sleeved on the guide rod. The reset spring is clamped between the fixed block 66 and the slider 67. The upper surface of the slider 67 is provided with the push block 68 and the follower wheel 69, the follower wheel 69 abuts against the wheel edge of the cam 65, the push block 68 extends into the slide groove 63 and the push block 68 reciprocates in the slide groove 63, the top surface of the push block 68 is provided with an arc groove that can just accommodate a fixture, when the push block 68 slides to the extreme position close to the fixed block 66, the arc groove just aligns with the discharge port of the conveying pipe 50, when the push block 68 slides to the extreme position close to the thumbwheel 61, the arc groove just aligns with the guide groove 62 to fill the gap, and the driving assembly includes a third driving motor. Specifically, the cam is a ring block with three arc protrusions evenly spaced around the periphery, and the thumbwheel is evenly spaced around the periphery with three first material-pickup sheets extending downward.

[0069] It should be noted that when the arc groove is aligned with the discharge port of the conveying pipe, only one firmware is sent out from the conveying pipe because the arc groove can only accommodate one firmware, and more firmware cannot be sent out. Then the push block slides in the direction of the guide groove. When it slides to align with the notch of the guide groove, the guide groove becomes a circular groove without a notch. At this time, the rotating dial inside it can sweep the firmware in the arc groove into the guide groove through the first material-sweeping piece and then sweep it down to the filter rod conveyor belt. It can be understood that the reset spring is always in a compressed state to ensure that the follower wheel at the top of the slider is always in contact with the edge of the cam.

[0070] The basic operating principle of the firmware dialing mechanism is that the conveying pipe is pneumatically conveyed or otherwise powered, and the firmware therein has the force to be conveyed outward from the outlet of the conveying pipe. When the outlet of the conveying pipe is not blocked (the arc groove is aligned with the outlet), the firmware is discharged from the conveying pipe. Since the arc groove can only accommodate one firmware, only one firmware is sent out each time the alignment is performed; the push block of the follower pushing assembly moves in the slide groove as the cam rotates, and when the push block moves to the arc groove where it can fill the gap in the guide groove, the rotating thumbwheel pushes the firmware in the arc groove into the guide groove through the first thumbwheel sheet arranged on its edge, and continues to rotate until the firmware is pushed onto the filter rod conveyor belt below one side of the thumbwheel.

[0071] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown in or 2, the frame 1 is provided with two sets of the material handling and conveying kits.

[0072] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, it is still possible for those skilled in the art to modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or to make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
