[0119] As shown in the drawings, an embodiment of the present invention provides a filter rod hot pressing and forming device, including a filter rod film covering device 1, a filter rod pre-positioning device 2, a material pushing device 3, and a hot pressing and forming device 4; wherein, the filter rod film covering device 1 is used for covering the surface of the filter rod to be covered with film and outputting the filter rod after covering the film; the filter rod pre-positioning device 2 is used for receiving the filter rod and arranging the filter rod in the material groove 231 of the material plate 23; the material pushing device 3 pushes the filter rod in the filter rod pre-positioning device 2 into the hot pressing channel 411 of the hot pressing and forming device 4, and the hot pressing and forming device 4 performs hot pressing and forming on the filter rod located in the hot pressing channel 411.

[0120] The filter rod hot pressing and forming equipment provided by the present invention, first of all, is provided with a filter rod film covering device, a filter rod pre-positioning device, a material pushing device and a hot pressing and forming device. Among them, the filter rod film covering device is used to apply glue and cover the filter rod to be covered with film, forming a protective film on the surface of the filter rod to shape the filter rod. The filter rod film covering device outputs the filter rod after covering the film. The filter rod pre-positioning device receives the filter rod and arranges the filter rods in the material grooves 231 of the material plate in sequence. The material pushing device is used to push the filter rods in the material grooves 231 into the hot pressing channel of the hot pressing and forming device, and the hot pressing and forming device performs hot pressing and forming on the filter rods. By covering the film, pre-positioning and sorting, pushing the material and hot pressing and forming the filter rods, the process of automatic production of the filter rods is realized, and the efficiency is higher. Thus, compared with the prior art, the filter rod hot pressing and forming equipment in the embodiment of the present invention has good forming effect and high efficiency, and can meet the requirements of automatic production.

[0121] Please as Figures 6 to 11 As shown in the figure, the filter rod film covering device 1 provided by the present invention, first of all, is provided with a first mounting seat 11 and a film covering seat 12. Among them, a receiving cavity 111 is provided on the first mounting seat 11, the film covering seat 12 is received in the receiving cavity 111, a hollow filter rod cavity 13 is arranged on the film covering seat 12 along the axial direction, and the filter rod cavity 13 is used to place the filter rod. The filter rod moves along the axial direction of the filter rod cavity 13 under the action of traction force. A ring-shaped sealant cavity 14 is formed between the outer wall of the film covering seat 12 and the inner wall of the receiving cavity 111. Secondly, a glue inlet 15 and a glue injection assembly 16 are also provided. Among them, the glue inlet 15 is arranged on the first mounting seat 11, and the glue inlet 15 is communicated with the sealant cavity 14 for injecting glue into the sealant cavity 14 so that the glue fills the sealant cavity 14. The glue injection assembly 16 is used to communicate the sealant cavity 14 and the filter rod cavity 13. The glue in the sealant cavity 14 coats the filter rod in the filter rod cavity 13 with glue and covers the film. After drying, the filter rod after covering the film can form a protective film on its outer surface. Thus, compared with the prior art, the filter rod film covering device in the embodiment of the present invention can cover the film on the outer surface of the preformed filter rod, and after drying, the filter rod after covering the film can form a protective film on its outer surface, which is suitable for various filter rods with special shapes for hot pressing and forming.

[0122] The filter rod film covering device 1 in the embodiment of the present invention coats the filter rod with glue on the surface of the filter rod. After drying, the filter rod after coating with glue can form a protective film on the outer surface of the filter rod, so as to perform hot pressing and forming on it in the subsequent process. The protective film has good airtightness and thermoplasticity, and can undergo extension deformation along with the hot pressing of the filter rod. It is suitable for various filter rods with special shapes for hot pressing and forming, thereby reducing the defective rate in hot pressing and forming.

[0123] In the above structure, as a more preferred embodiment, there are at least two glue injection assemblies 16 in the embodiment of the present invention, and the glue injection assemblies 16 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the filter rod cavity 13. By arranging multiple groups of glue injection assemblies 16, it is ensured that when the filter rod moves in the filter rod cavity 13, the glue in the sealant cavity 14 can evenly coat the filter rod axially through the glue injection assemblies 16. The number of the glue injection assemblies 16 is selected according to the moving speed of the filter rod and the injection efficiency of the glue injection assemblies 16 during actual use.

[0124] In the above structure, as a more preferred embodiment, the adjacent glue injection assemblies 16 in the embodiment of the present invention are arranged staggeredly. With this arrangement, the glue on the filter rod is coated more evenly.

[0125] In the above structure, in order to ensure that the entire circumference of the filter rod can be coated, as a more preferred embodiment, the glue injection assembly 16 in the embodiment of the present invention includes a glue injection channel, and there are at least three glue injection channels, and the glue injection channels are evenly spaced around the circumference of the filter rod cavity 13. By arranging multiple groups of glue injection channels in the circumferential direction of the filter rod, the glue can be completely coated on the circumference of the filter rod.

[0126] Furthermore, the number of the glue injection channels in the embodiment of the present invention is any one of 8, 12, or 24, and the multiple glue injection channels in a group of glue injection assemblies 16 are evenly spaced around the circumference of the filter rod cavity 13. The filter rod in the filter rod cavity 13 is coated and film-covered through the multiple glue injection channels. Since the glue injection channels are evenly distributed in the circumferential direction of the filter rod cavity 13, the filter rod passing through the filter rod cavity 13 can be evenly coated, and the coating effect is better.

[0127] Furthermore, a group of glue injection channels encloses a complete circle and is evenly arranged circumferentially around the center of the circle. When the number of the glue injection channels is 8, the angle between adjacent glue injection channels in a group and the center of the circle is 45°; when the number of the glue injection channels in a group of glue injection assemblies 16 is 12, the angle between adjacent glue injection channels in a group and the center of the circle is 30°; when the number of the glue injection channels in a group of glue injection assemblies 16 is 24, the angle between adjacent glue injection channels in a group and the center of the circle is 15°.

[0128] In the above structure, as a more preferred embodiment, the glue injection channel in the embodiment of the present invention includes a glue inlet portion 161 and a glue outlet portion.

The passing part 222 is used in cooperation with the material groove 231. When the passing part 222 is located directly above the material groove 231, the filter rod in the material box 21 can enter the material groove 231 through the outlet part and the passing part 222, realizing the pre-positioning of the filter rod. In order to prevent the filter rod from accumulating in the material groove 231, a blocking part 221 and a power assembly 24 are also arranged. Among them, the blocking part 221 is used in cooperation with the material groove 231, and the power assembly 24 is connected to the baffle 22, driving the baffle 22 to reciprocate in the radial direction of the material groove 231, so that the baffle 22 has a first state and a second state. When the baffle 22 moves to the first state, the filter rod in the material box 21 can enter the material groove 231 through the outlet part and the passing part 222, realizing the pre-positioning of the filter rod. When the baffle 22 moves to the second state, the filter rod is located above the blocking part 221 and cannot enter the material groove 231, preventing the accumulation of the filter rod.

When the telescopic rod of the first power member 241 is pushed out and acts on the push plate 242, the baffle 22 is pushed to move in the first direction so that the baffle 22 is switched from the first state to the second state. When the baffle 22 is in the second state, it prevents the filter rods from entering the material trough 231 and prevents the filter rods from accumulating in the material trough 231.
