[0018] In one possible implementation, the bead-filling assembly further includes a fourth rotating member, which is rotatably connected to the fixed plate. The fourth rotating member has a plurality of ejector pins spaced apart on its circumferential edge, and the ejector pins are capable of being inserted into the base rod.

[0019] When the fourth rotating member and the first rotating member rotate, the positions of the plurality of ejector pins and the plurality of grooves in the receiving rod can correspond sequentially, so that the ejector pins push the bursting beads into the base rod.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows: This application proposes a bursting bead filling machine. During use, when the first rotating component and the second rotating component rotate, the discharge port of the supply component can sequentially correspond to the positions of multiple container rod slots, allowing the base rod to be sequentially conveyed into the multiple container rod slots through the discharge port of the supply component.

[0038] Example 1

[0039] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 This embodiment provides a bursting bead filling machine, which includes a supply component 100 and a filling component. The supply component 100 is used to supply base rods 312. The filling component includes a fixed plate 200, a first rotating member 300, and a second rotating member 400. The first rotating member 300 and the second rotating member 400 are rotatably connected to the fixed plate 200. The first rotating member 300 has a plurality of rod-receiving grooves 310 spaced apart on its circumferential edge, and the second rotating member 400 has a plurality of suction needles 410 spaced apart on its circumferential edge. The suction end 413 of the suction needles 410 can adsorb bursting beads. When the first rotating member 300 and the second rotating member 400 rotate, the discharge port of the supply component 100 can sequentially correspond to the positions of the plurality of rod-receiving grooves 310 to convey the base rods 312 into the rod-receiving grooves 310, and the positions of the plurality of suction needles 410 can sequentially correspond to the positions of the plurality of rod-receiving grooves 310 so that the suction needles 410 fill the ports of the base rods 312.

[0040] The capsule filling machine provided in this application, when in use, allows the first rotating member 300 and the second rotating member 400 to rotate. Since the outlet of the supply component 100 corresponds sequentially to the positions of multiple container grooves 310, the base rod 312 can be sequentially conveyed into the multiple container grooves 310 through the outlet of the supply component 100. Simultaneously, since the positions of multiple suction needles 410 correspond sequentially to the multiple container grooves 310, when the suction needles 410 approach the container grooves 310, the capsules adsorbed on the suction needles 410 can be filled into the port of the base rod 312. This achieves batch, orderly, and accurate filling of capsules into the base rod 312, and the depth of the capsules filling the base rod 312 is controllable and highly consistent. Therefore, it can improve the stability of product quality, ensure product quality and production efficiency, and meet the requirements of industrial production.

[0041] The base rod 312 is a component of the heated non-burning (HNB) cigarette cartridge. It is generally in the shape of a long cylindrical strip. The base rod 312 has a channel along its length that can hold the menthol capsule.

[0042] The first rotating member 300 and the second rotating member 400 can be meshed to achieve a precise one-to-one correspondence between the positions of the multiple suction needles 410 and the multiple container grooves 310.

[0043] Example 2

[0044] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, this embodiment proposes a configuration of the first rotating member 300 based on embodiment one. A first vent hole 311 is provided on the inner wall surface of the rod groove 310, and a first suction port 210 for providing negative pressure is provided on the fixing plate 200. The first suction port 210 can communicate with the first vent hole 311 to adsorb the base rod 312 into the rod groove 310.

[0045] Specifically, during use, when the first air intake 210 is connected to the negative pressure device, the negative pressure device can generate negative pressure, thereby driving the airflow to enter the negative pressure device through the rod groove 310, the first vent 311, and the first air intake 210 in sequence. This allows the base rod 312 provided by the supply component 100 to be driven by the airflow and drawn into the rod groove 310. At the same time, it also prevents the base rod 312 in the rod groove 310 from being thrown out of the rod groove 310 when the first rotating member 300 rotates.

[0046] The first air intake 210 can be located near the discharge port of the supply component 100 and the suction needle 410 respectively. When the base rod 312 located in the container groove 310 approaches the suction needle 410, the negative pressure in the container groove 310 can drive the airflow to attract the popping beads on the suction needle 410 to one end of the base rod 312, so that the popping beads are accurately filled into the base rod 312.

[0047] like Figure 6 As shown, in the above embodiment, optionally, the rod groove 310 is cylindrical, the bottom surface of the rod groove 310 faces the rotation center axis of the first rotating member 300, and a plurality of first vent holes 311 are spaced apart along the circumference of the rod groove 310.

[0048] Specifically, since the groove 310 is cylindrical, this arrangement allows it to conform to the shape of the base rod 312, enabling it to closely follow the base rod 312 and better limit its position. This prevents the base rod 312 from deflecting at an angle within the groove 310, thus ensuring the suction needle 410 is precisely aligned with one end of the base rod 312. Furthermore, when the bottom surface of the groove 310 faces the rotation center axis of the first rotating member 300, this arrangement facilitates adjusting the angle of the base rod 312, making subsequent alignment with the suction needle 410 easier. Additionally, because the first vent 311 provides negative pressure, when multiple first vents 311 are spaced circumferentially along the bottom surface of the groove 310, the base rod 312 within the groove 310 can simultaneously cover multiple first vents 311, resulting in a more secure adsorption of the base rod 312 within the groove 310.

[0049] Example 3

[0050] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, this embodiment proposes a configuration of the second rotating member 400 based on Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2. The suction needle 410 has a suction channel 411 along its axial direction, and the adsorption end 413 is located at one end of the suction channel 411. The fixing plate 200 has a second suction port 220 for providing negative pressure. The second suction port 220 can communicate with the suction channel 411 to adsorb the popping beads onto the adsorption end 413.

[0051] Specifically, during use, when the second air inlet 220 is connected to the negative pressure device, the negative pressure device can generate negative pressure, thereby driving the airflow so that the adsorption end 413 passes through the air inlet channel 411 and the second air inlet 220 in sequence and enters the negative pressure device, so that the popping beads can be adsorbed onto the adsorption end 413.

[0052] The adsorption end 413 of the suction needle 410 can be annular or concave. The annular or concave adsorption end 413 is adapted to the shape of the popping bead, which can improve the airtightness and make the popping bead more firmly adsorbed on the adsorption end 413.

[0053] like Figure 4As shown, in the above embodiment, optionally, the suction needle 410 near the groove 310 of the base rod is set as a bead release needle 412. The suction channel 411 of the bead release needle 412 is not connected to the second suction port 220, so that the bead release needle 412 can release the popping bead, thereby allowing the popping bead to be transferred to the port of the base rod 312.

[0054] Specifically, the suction needle 410 near the container groove 310 is designated as the bead-dispensing needle 412. When the bead-dispensing needle 412 moves to a position corresponding to the container groove 310, since the second suction port 220 is not connected to the suction channel 411 of the bead-dispensing needle 412, there is no negative pressure in the suction channel 411 of the bead-dispensing needle 412. Therefore, the bead-dispensing needle 412 will not adhere to the popping bead, allowing the popping bead to be transferred from the suction end 413 of the bead-dispensing needle 412 to one end of the base rod 312. Thus, this configuration can better complete the transfer of the popping bead, improving work efficiency and stability.

[0055] In this case, a blocking part can be provided on the fixed plate 200 on the line connecting the rotation center axis of the first rotating member 300 and the rotation center axis of the second rotating member 400, so as to prevent the second air intake 220 from communicating with the air intake channel 411 of the bead release needle 412.

[0056] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in the above embodiment, optionally, the bead filling assembly further includes a cover plate 500, the cover plate 500 and the fixing plate 200 surround to form a receiving cavity 510, the second rotating member 400 is located in the receiving cavity 510, and the inner wall surface of the receiving cavity 510 is provided with an opening 511, the opening 511 being located between the first rotating member 300 and the second rotating member 400.

[0057] Specifically, since the second rotating member 400 is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 200, and the second rotating member 400 covers the second air intake 220, the position of the second air intake 220 corresponds to one end of the air intake channel 411, thereby achieving communication between the second air intake 220 and the air intake channel 411. When the second air intake 220 provides negative pressure, some airflow will enter the second air intake 220 from the gap between the second rotating member 400 and the fixed plate 200, thereby affecting the magnitude of the negative pressure in the air intake channel 411 of the suction needle 410, resulting in a decrease in the adsorption capacity of the suction needle 410. Therefore, in order to improve the utilization rate of the airflow generated by the negative pressure, a cavity 510 for accommodating the second rotating member 400 is formed by setting the cover plate 500 and the fixed plate 200 together, and an opening 511 is opened between the first rotating member 300 and the second rotating member 400 on the inner wall surface of the cavity 510, so that the airflow can only pass through the opening 511 with a smaller cross-sectional area, thereby reducing the airflow flowing through the gap between the second rotating member 400 and the fixed plate 200 and improving the utilization rate of the airflow.

[0058] Example 4

[0059] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 8 As shown, this embodiment, based on embodiments one to three, proposes a configuration of the third rotating member 600 and the hopper 700. The bead-filling assembly also includes the third rotating member 600 and the hopper 700 for receiving burst beads. The hopper 700 and the third rotating member 600 are respectively fixed on the fixing plate 200. Multiple bead-receiving grooves 610 are spaced apart on the circumferential edge of the third rotating member 600. When the third rotating member 600 and the second rotating member 400 rotate, the discharge port of the hopper 700 can sequentially correspond to the positions of the multiple bead-receiving grooves 610, so that the burst beads can sequentially fall into the multiple bead-receiving grooves 610 through the discharge port of the hopper 700. The positions of the multiple bead-receiving grooves 610 can sequentially correspond to the positions of the multiple suction needles 410, so that the suction needles 410 can adsorb the burst beads in the corresponding bead-receiving grooves 610.

[0060] Specifically, when the third rotating component 600 and the second rotating component 400 rotate, the discharge port of the hopper 700 corresponds sequentially to the positions of multiple bead-receiving grooves 610, allowing the exploding beads to fall sequentially into the multiple bead-receiving grooves 610 through the discharge port of the hopper 700. Simultaneously, since the positions of the multiple bead-receiving grooves 610 correspond sequentially to the positions of multiple suction needles 410, when the suction needle 410 approaches the bead-receiving groove 610, the exploding beads in the bead-receiving groove 610 can be adsorbed by the adsorption end 413 of the suction needle 410, thereby achieving batch, orderly, and accurate adsorption of the exploding beads onto the suction needle 410.

[0061] like Figure 8 As shown, in the above embodiment, optionally, a third vent hole 611 is provided on the inner wall surface of the bead-containing groove 610, and a third suction port 230 for providing negative pressure is provided on the fixing plate 200. The third suction port 230 can communicate with the third vent hole 611 to adsorb the popping beads into the bead-containing groove 610.

[0062] Specifically, during use, when the third air intake 230 is connected to the negative pressure device, the negative pressure device can generate negative pressure, thereby driving the airflow to enter the negative pressure device through the bead trough 610, the third air vent 611, and the third air intake 230 in sequence. This allows the exploding beads located at the discharge port of the hopper 700 to be driven by the airflow and accurately adsorbed in the bead trough 610. At the same time, it also prevents the exploding beads in the bead trough 610 from being thrown out of the bead trough 610 when the third rotating component 600 rotates.

[0063] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 8As shown, in the above embodiment, optionally, the bead-receiving groove 610 near the suction needle 410 is set as the bead-releasing groove 612, and the third vent 611 of the bead-releasing groove 612 is not connected to the third suction port 230, so that the bead-releasing groove 612 can release the popping bead, thereby allowing the popping bead to be transferred to the suction needle 410.

[0064] Specifically, the bead-receiving groove 610 near the suction needle 410 is designated as the bead-dispensing groove 612. When the bead-dispensing groove 612 moves to correspond with the position of the suction needle 410, since the third suction port 230 is not connected to the third vent 611 of the bead-dispensing groove 612, there is no negative pressure inside the bead-dispensing groove 612. Therefore, the popping beads will not be attracted to the bead-dispensing groove 612, allowing the popping beads to be transferred from the bead-dispensing groove 612 to the suction end 413 of the suction needle 410. Thus, this arrangement can better complete the transfer of popping beads, improving production efficiency and stability.

[0065] The edge of the third air intake 230 can be positioned on the line connecting the rotation center axis of the third rotating member 600 and the rotation center axis of the second rotating member 400. This edge can isolate the third air intake 230 from the third vent 611 of the bead release groove 612, thereby preventing the third air intake 230 from communicating with the third vent 611 of the bead release groove 612.

[0066] Example 5

[0067] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment, based on embodiments one to four, proposes a configuration for the fourth rotating member 800. The bead-filling assembly also includes the fourth rotating member 800, which is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 200. Multiple ejector pins 810 are spaced apart along the circumferential edge of the fourth rotating member 800, and each ejector pin 810 can be inserted into the base rod 312. When the fourth rotating member 800 and the first rotating member 300 rotate, the positions of the multiple ejector pins 810 and the multiple receiving grooves 310 correspond sequentially, allowing the ejector pins 810 to push the bead into the base rod 312.

[0068] Specifically, when the fourth rotating member 800 and the first rotating member 300 rotate, since the positions of the multiple ejector pins 810 and the multiple receiving rod grooves 310 can correspond sequentially, and the ejector pins 810 can be inserted into the base rod 312, the ejector pins 810 can push the bursting bead located at one end of the base rod 312 into the base rod 312, thereby precisely adjusting the relative position between the bursting bead and the base rod 312.

[0069] Among them, such as Figure 3As shown, a discharge channel for collecting the base rod 312 containing the popping beads can be provided below the first rotating member 300 and on the fixed plate 200, and the first air intake 210 is not connected to the first air vent 311 near the discharge channel, so that the base rod 312 containing the popping beads can fall smoothly into the discharge channel by gravity.

[0070] Among them, such as Figure 9 As shown, the first rotating component 300, the second rotating component 400, the third rotating component 600 and the fourth rotating component 800 can be connected by gear transmission or belt transmission to achieve precise alignment.

[0071] Among them, such as Figure 9 As shown, the first rotating component 300, the second rotating component 400, the third rotating component 600 and the fourth rotating component 800 can be driven to rotate by a driving device such as a motor 900.

[0072] Example 6

[0073] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment proposes a configuration of the supply component 100 based on embodiments one to five. The supply component 100 includes a vibratory feeder 110 and a transport component 120. The transport component 120 includes a track 121 for transporting the base bar 312 and a vibration device 122 disposed below the track 121. The two ends of the track 121 are respectively connected to the discharge port of the vibratory feeder 110 and the bar groove 310.
