[0061] This invention provides a feeding mechanism, comprising a mounting body, a driving component, a turntable, a feeding assembly, and a discharging assembly. The driving component is disposed on the mounting body. The turntable is connected to the driving component and can rotate under the drive of the driving component. Multiple receiving cavities for accommodating materials are formed on the circumferential surface of the turntable, and these cavities are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the turntable. The feeding assembly is disposed on the mounting body. Two feeding assemblies are provided, arranged at intervals along the circumference of the turntable. One feeding assembly feeds material into the receiving cavity in a forward direction, and the other feeding assembly feeds material into the receiving cavity in a reverse direction. The discharging assembly is disposed corresponding to the turntable and is used to discharge the material from the receiving cavity at a discharge position. The feeding mechanism feeds material into the turntable through the feeding assembly, transports the material to the discharge position under the rotation of the turntable, and then discharges the material through the discharging assembly. Since there are two feeding components, one feeding component is used to feed the material into the turntable in the forward direction, and the other feeding component is used to feed the material into the turntable in the reverse direction, so that the material can be discharged in the opposite direction during discharge, thereby better meeting the automated processing needs of subsequent equipment and improving processing efficiency.

[0062] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 10 This embodiment provides a feeding mechanism 100 for conveying material 200 and changing the orientation of the material 200, wherein the orientation of the material 200 refers to the directional sequence of the material 200, that is, the orientation of the material.

[0063] Specifically, in one embodiment, the feeding mechanism 100 is used to convey tobacco material, that is, the material 200 is tobacco material. More specifically, the material 200 is a filter rod or a sachet or other material used in the filter rod.

[0064] The feeding mechanism 100 includes a mounting body 10, a driving component 20, a turntable 30, a feeding assembly 40, and a discharging assembly 50. The mounting body 10 refers to the structure used to support and install the various components. Specifically, the mounting body 10 can be a frame structure or a plate structure, etc.

[0065] The driving component 20 is disposed on the mounting body 10, and the turntable 30 is connected to the driving component 20, and the turntable 30 can rotate under the drive of the driving component 20. That is, the driving component 20 provides driving force to the turntable 30, thereby causing the turntable 30 to rotate. The circumferential surface of the turntable 30 has a receiving cavity 31 for accommodating the material 200, and a plurality of receiving cavities 31 are provided (at least two), and the plurality of receiving cavities 31 are arranged sequentially at intervals along the circumference of the turntable 30.

[0066] The feeding assembly 40 is disposed on the mounting body 10. There are at least two feeding assemblies 40, arranged alternately along the circumference of the turntable 30. One feeding assembly 40 feeds the material 200 into the receiving cavity 31 in a forward direction, while the other feeding assembly 40 feeds the material 200 into the receiving cavity 31 in a reverse direction. That is, both feeding assemblies 40 feed the material 200 into the receiving cavity 31, but their feeding positions are different. After one feeding assembly 40 feeds the material 200, the material 200 is distributed in a forward direction within the receiving cavity 31; after the other feeding assembly 40 feeds the material 200, the material 200 is distributed in a reverse direction within the receiving cavity 31. Here, "forward" and "direction" refer to the relative positional relationship between the material 200 and the receiving cavity 31.

[0067] For example, in one embodiment, reference Figure 1 Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the feeding assembly 40 on the left is used to feed the material 200 in the forward direction, and the bottom wall 210 of each material 200 fed from the feeding assembly 40 faces the bottom wall 311 of the receiving cavity 31; while the feeding assembly 40 on the right is used to feed the material 200 in the reverse direction, and the top wall 220 of each material 200 fed from the feeding assembly 40 faces the bottom wall 311 of the receiving cavity 31.

[0068] The discharge assembly 50 is configured corresponding to the turntable 30 to discharge the material 200 from the receiving cavity 31 at the discharge position 60. That is, when the corresponding receiving cavity 31 on the turntable 30 rotates to the discharge position 60, the discharge assembly 50 will discharge the material 200. Since the material 200 contained in different receiving cavities 31 has a different orientation, the orientation of each material 200 discharged via the discharge position 60 will also be different.

[0069] Understandably, the feeding mechanism in the existing technology can only realize the conveying of materials. When the materials are sent out, they are all in the same direction, which cannot meet the needs of some equipment that require materials in different directions, thus affecting the processing efficiency.

[0070] The feeding mechanism 100 provided in this embodiment conveys the material 200 by rotating the turntable 30. It is equipped with two feeding components 40. Through the cooperation between the feeding components 40 and the turntable 30, the material 200 is fed into the turntable 30 in both forward and reverse directions. Then, through the rotation of the turntable 30, the material 200 is discharged from the discharge position 60 by the discharge component 50. The material 200's orientation can be changed during the conveying process, thus improving efficiency. Furthermore, the material 200 discharged by the feeding mechanism 100 can be materials 200 with different orientations, better meeting the automated processing needs of subsequent equipment and improving processing efficiency. Moreover, the feeding components 40 and the discharge components 50 can independently load and unload materials, and their structures and functions can be adjusted independently, resulting in a relatively sophisticated overall structure.

[0071] Preferably, in one embodiment, only two feeding components 40 are provided, and the two feeding components 40 are located at opposite ends of the turntable 30. That is, in one embodiment, the feeding mechanism 100 has only two feeding components 40, and the two feeding components 40 are arranged opposite each other and located at opposite ends of the turntable 30. For example, as Figure 1 As shown, one feeding assembly 40 is located on the left side of the turntable 30, and the other feeding assembly 40 is located on the right side of the turntable 30. The left feeding assembly 40 is used for forward feeding, and the right feeding assembly 40 is used for reverse feeding. The material 200 conveyed from both feeding assemblies 40 faces the same direction. However, since the receiving cavity 31 is located on the circumferential surface of the turntable 30, its orientation changes when it rotates to the position of either feeding assembly 40. For example, when the receiving cavity 31 rotates to the position of the left feeding assembly 40, its bottom wall 311 faces upward; when it rotates to the position of the right feeding assembly 40, its bottom wall 311 faces downward. By positioning the two feeding assemblies 40 at opposite ends of the turntable 30, interference between components can be better avoided, and the material 200 conveyed from upstream equipment can be better received.

[0072] Preferably, in one embodiment, the feeding assembly 40 includes a feeding pipe 41 and a feeding pusher 42. The feeding pipe 41 is disposed on the mounting body 10, and a conveying chamber for conveying the material 200 is provided in the feeding pipe 41. A buffer chamber 70 is provided on the circumferential side of the turntable 30, and the discharge end of the feeding pipe 41 is disposed corresponding to the buffer chamber 70. The feeding pusher 42 is disposed on the mounting body 10, and the feeding pusher 42 is disposed corresponding to the buffer chamber 70, for pushing the material 200 from the buffer chamber 70 into the receiving cavity 31. That is, in this embodiment, the feeding assembly 40 uses a pushing structure to deliver the material 200 into the receiving cavity 31. The material 200 is first fed into the buffer chamber 70 through the feed pipe 41. When the receiving cavity 31 in the turntable 30 rotates to the buffer chamber 70, the feeding pusher 42 located in the buffer chamber 70 operates to push the material 200 in the buffer chamber 70 into the receiving cavity 31, thus realizing one feeding.

[0073] Specifically, in one embodiment, the cache bin 70 is a vacuum bin.

[0074] Preferably, in one embodiment, the feeding pusher 42 includes a feeding guide rail 421 and a feeding pusher 422. The feeding guide rail 421 is disposed on the mounting body 10, and the feeding pusher 422 is slidably disposed on the feeding guide rail 421, that is, the feeding pusher 422 is disposed on the feeding guide rail 421 and can slide on the feeding guide rail 421. The feeding pusher 422 is disposed corresponding to the buffer chamber 70, and the feeding pusher 422 is used to push the material 200. The feeding guide rail 421 can better guide the sliding of the feeding pusher 422, ensuring the stability of the feeding process. Specifically, the feeding guide rail 421 is disposed radially along the turntable 30, so that the sliding direction of the feeding pusher 422 is radially along the turntable 30. During feeding, the feeding pusher 422 pushes the material 200 into the receiving cavity 31 radially.

[0075] Preferably, in one embodiment, the turntable 30 is provided with a feed cam groove 32. The feed push rod 422 is at least partially located within the feed cam groove 32, and the portion of the feed push rod 422 located within the feed cam groove 32 can slide along the feed cam groove 32. The feed cam groove 32 is used to drive the feed push rod 422 to slide on the feed guide rail 421 to push the material 200. Specifically, the feed cam groove 32 is a closed, ring-shaped structure, and the groove wall of the feed cam groove 32 is provided with a protruding portion. When the turntable 30 rotates, the portion of the feed push rod 422 located within the feed cam groove 32 slides along the feed cam groove 32. When this portion slides to the protruding part of the feed cam groove 32, the protruding part correspondingly limits and presses the feed push rod 422, thereby driving the feed push rod 422 to slide closer to the center of the turntable 30, thus feeding the material 200. In other words, in one embodiment, the driving force applied to the feed push rod 422 is specifically achieved through the mechanical structure cooperation between the feed cam groove 32 and the feed push rod 422. The groove wall of the feed cam groove 32 limits and presses the feed push rod 422, thereby controlling its sliding and pushing the material 200 into the receiving cavity 31. Since the receiving cavity 31 and the feeding cam groove 32 are both located on the turntable 30, the position of the protruding part in the feeding cam groove 32 matches the corresponding receiving cavity 31, which can better ensure the stability of the feeding push rod 422 feeding into the receiving cavity 31.

[0076] Preferably, in one embodiment, the portion of the feed pusher 422 located within the feed cam groove 32 is a rolling element. That is, the portion of the feed pusher 422 located within the feed cam groove 32 is a rolling component, so that when the turntable 30 rotates, the portion of the feed pusher 422 located within the feed cam groove 32 can roll on the groove wall of the feed cam groove 32, which can better prevent wear between the feed pusher 422 and the groove wall of the feed cam groove 32. The rolling element can be any self-rotating component, such as a roller, bearing, etc.

[0077] Specifically, in one embodiment, the feed pusher 422 includes a feed slider 4221, a feed pusher block 4222, and a roller 4223. The feed slider 4221 is slidably disposed on the feed guide rail 421, the feed pusher block 4222 is disposed on the feed slider 4221 for pushing the material 200, and the roller 4223 is disposed on the feed slider 4221 and located within the feed cam groove 32.

[0078] Preferably, in one embodiment, two feeding cam grooves 32 are provided, namely a first feeding cam groove 321 and a second feeding cam groove 322. The feeding component 40 for forward feeding of the material 200 is provided corresponding to the first feeding cam groove 321, and the feeding component 40 for reverse feeding of the material 200 is provided corresponding to the second feeding cam groove 322. That is, the feeding component 40 for forward feeding of the material 200 is at least partially located in the first feeding cam groove 321, and the first feeding cam groove 321 is used to control the feeding of the feeding component 40; the feeding component 40 for reverse feeding of the material 200 is at least partially located in the second feeding cam groove 322, and the second feeding cam groove 322 is used to control the feeding of the feeding component 40. In other words, the two feeding components 40 are controlled by different feeding cam grooves 32, thereby enabling more accurate feeding control and avoiding interference.

[0079] Preferably, in one embodiment, the circumferential surface of the turntable 30 has four receiving cavities 31, which are arranged sequentially along the circumference of the turntable 30, and the circumferential spacing between adjacent receiving cavities 31 is equal. Two opposing receiving cavities 31 are used to receive the forward-facing material 200, and the other two opposing receiving cavities 31 are used to receive the reverse-facing material 200. For example, as... Figure 6 As shown, the four receiving cavities 31 are sequentially divided into receiving cavity one, receiving cavity two, receiving cavity three, and receiving cavity four. Receiving cavities one and three are used to receive the material 200 in the forward direction. When the turntable 30 rotates, receiving cavities one and three will only feed material when they rotate to the left side of the feeding assembly 40, and will not feed material when they rotate to the right side of the feeding assembly 40. Receiving cavities two and four are used to receive the material 200 in the reverse direction. When the turntable 30 rotates, receiving cavities two and four will only feed material when they rotate to the right side of the feeding assembly 40, and will not feed material when they rotate to the left side of the feeding assembly 40. In this way, there will always be one forward-facing material 200 and one reverse-facing material 200 in two adjacent receiving cavities 31. When they rotate sequentially to the discharge position 60, the material 200 can be discharged sequentially from the discharge position 60, thus ensuring that when the feeding mechanism 100 discharges material, there will always be one forward-facing and one reverse-facing material.

[0080] Preferably, in one embodiment, the first feed cam groove 321 is provided with two first protrusions 3211, and the two first protrusions 3211 are located at opposite ends in the first feed cam groove 321. When the turntable 30 rotates, the first protrusions 3211 rotate to the feed assembly 40 (e.g., such as...) provided in the first feed cam groove 321. Figure 1 , 2 When the feed assembly 40 (as shown on the left side of Figure 3) is positioned, the first protruding portion 3211 will correspondingly squeeze and drive the feed assembly 40 to feed material. Two second protruding portions 3221 are provided in the second feed cam groove 322, and the two second protruding portions 3221 are located at opposite ends in the second feed cam groove 322. When the turntable 30 rotates, the second protruding portions 3221 rotate to the position corresponding to the feed assembly 40 positioned in the second feed cam groove 322 (e.g., as shown on the left side of Figure 3). Figure 1 , 2 When the feeding assembly 40 (shown on the right side of Figure 3) is fed, the second protruding part 3221 will correspondingly squeeze and drive the feeding assembly 40 to feed. The first feeding cam groove 321 and the second feeding cam groove 322 are vertically arranged, that is, the setting directions of the first feeding cam groove 321 and the second feeding cam groove 322 are perpendicular to each other, so that the first protruding part 3211 and the second protruding part 3221 are arranged sequentially along the circumference. By adapting the setting positions of the first protruding part 3211 and the second protruding part 3221 to the setting positions of the four receiving cavities 31, the corresponding feeding assembly 40 can be controlled by the first feeding cam groove 321 and the second feeding cam groove 322 to ensure that only the material 200 of the same direction sequence is fed into each receiving cavity 31. For example, as Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3, 6, 7, and 8, when the first and third receiving cavities rotate to the left side of the feeding assembly 40, the first protruding portion 3211 in the first feeding cam groove 321 will press against the feeding assembly 40, thus initiating feeding. When the second and fourth receiving cavities rotate to the right side of the feeding assembly 40, the second protruding portion 3221 in the second feeding cam groove 322 will press against the feeding assembly 40, thus initiating feeding. In other words, in this embodiment, through the coordinated positional relationship between the feeding cam groove 32, the receiving cavity 31, and the feeding assembly 40, only materials 200 in the same direction can be fed into one receiving cavity 31, ensuring precise control during the feeding process and guaranteeing reliable feeding.

[0081] Preferably, in one embodiment, the discharge component 50 is a discharge pusher assembly, which is disposed on the turntable 30 to push the material 200 out of the receiving cavity 31, and each receiving cavity 31 is provided with one discharge pusher assembly. That is, the discharge component 50 is a pusher structure, which pushes the material 200 to discharge it. The discharge component 50 rotates with the turntable 30, and when the discharge component 50 rotates to the discharge position 60, the discharge component 50 operates to push the material 200 out of the corresponding receiving cavity 31 for discharge.

[0082] Preferably, in one embodiment, the feeding mechanism 100 further includes a discharge extrusion member 80. The discharge extrusion member 80 is disposed on the mounting body 10, and has a discharge cam groove 81, the protruding portion 811 of which is located at the discharge position 60. The discharge pusher assembly is at least partially located within the discharge cam groove 81, and the portion of the discharge pusher assembly located within the discharge cam groove 81 can slide along the discharge cam groove 81. The discharge cam groove 81 is used to drive the discharge pusher assembly to slide, thereby pushing the material 200. Specifically, the discharge cam groove 81 is a closed, ring-like structure. When the turntable 30 rotates, the portion of the discharge pusher assembly located within the discharge cam groove 81 slides along the discharge cam groove 81. When this portion slides to the protruding part 811, the protruding part 811 correspondingly limits and presses against the discharge pusher assembly, thereby causing the discharge pusher assembly to slide radially away from the center of the turntable 30, thus discharging the material 200. In other words, in one embodiment, the driving force applied to the discharge pusher assembly is specifically achieved through the mechanical structural cooperation between the discharge cam groove 81 and the discharge pusher assembly. The groove wall of the discharge cam groove 81 limits and presses against the discharge pusher assembly, controlling its sliding and enabling the discharge pusher assembly to push the material 200 out of the receiving cavity 31.

[0083] Preferably, in one embodiment, the component of the discharge pusher assembly located within the discharge cam groove 81 is a rolling element.
