[0024] The present invention provides a material pushing mechanism, which includes a mounting seat, a driving motor, a crank turntable, a first sliding arm, a first sliding member, a push block, and a first guide unit; the driving motor is mounted on the mounting seat; the crank turntable is mounted on the output shaft of the driving motor; a slide groove is provided on the first sliding arm; the first sliding member is eccentrically mounted on the crank turntable and is located in the slide groove; the push block is connected to the first sliding arm; the first guide unit is mounted on the mounting seat and connected to the first sliding arm to limit and guide the sliding direction of the first sliding arm; the driving motor is used to drive the crank turntable to rotate so that the first sliding member moves in the slide groove to drive the first sliding arm to move linearly. The material pushing mechanism drives the crank turntable to rotate through the driving motor, so that the rotation of the crank turntable is converted into the linear movement of the push block through the cooperation between the first sliding member and the first sliding arm, thereby realizing the material pushing action of the material pushing mechanism. During the driving process, the push block moves more smoothly, so that when the push block pushes materials, the firmware is not easily deflected, thereby improving the stability of the equipment operation.

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 The present embodiment provides a pushing mechanism 100, which is used to push the firmware to the required device. Specifically, in one embodiment, the firmware is a "water cup" firmware added to the filter rod.

[0026] The push mechanism 100 includes a mounting seat 10, a driving motor 20, a crank turntable 30, a first sliding arm 40, a first sliding member 50, a push block 60, and a first guide unit 70. The driving motor 20 is mounted on the mounting seat 10, and the crank turntable 30 is mounted on the output shaft of the driving motor 20, so that the crank turntable 30 can be driven to rotate by the operation of the driving motor 20. A sliding groove 41 is provided on the first sliding arm 40, and the first sliding member 50 is eccentrically mounted on the crank turntable 30 and is located in the sliding groove 41. The eccentric mounting of the first sliding member 50 on the crank turntable 30 means that the central axis of the first sliding member 50 and the central axis of the crank turntable 30 are located at different positions, and the first sliding member 50 is not arranged at the exact center of the crank turntable 30, so that when the crank turntable 30 rotates, the first sliding member 50 will make a circular motion with the central axis of the crank turntable 30 as the center. The push block 60 is connected to the first sliding arm 40, so that when the first sliding arm 40 moves, the push block 60 can be driven to move synchronously. The first guide unit 70 is installed on the mounting seat 10 and connected to the first sliding arm 40 to limit and guide the sliding direction of the first sliding arm 40. In other words, the first guide unit 70 is a limiting guide when the first sliding arm 40 moves. Through the guiding and limiting of the first guide unit 70, the first sliding arm 40 can only move along the guiding direction of the first guide unit 70, thereby ensuring that the first sliding arm 40 accurately moves along the required direction when the push mechanism 100 is in operation.

[0027] The driving motor 20 is used to drive the crank turntable 30 to rotate, so that the first sliding member 50 moves in the slide slot 41, so as to drive the first sliding arm 40 to move linearly. When the crank turntable 30 rotates, the first sliding member 50 performs circular motion, and the first sliding member 50 slides in the slide slot 41 during the motion, so that the first sliding member 50 applies force to the first sliding arm 40 through the groove wall of the slide slot 41 to push and pull the first sliding arm 40. Due to the limitation of the first guide unit 70, the first sliding arm 40 can only move linearly in the required direction, so as to convert the rotation of the crank turntable 30 into the reciprocating linear motion of the first sliding arm 40. Since the push block 60 is connected to the first sliding arm 40, the push block 60 is driven to move linearly back and forth, so as to realize continuous feeding of the firmware.

[0028] The pushing mechanism 100 uses the driving motor 20 as a power source, and drives the slide arm structure to reciprocate through a crank structure. It has good structural stability, smooth movement, and high motion control accuracy, allowing the push block 60 to move more smoothly. The firmware is not prone to deflection during the pushing process, and the firmware can be pushed into subsequent equipment more stably, ensuring the stability of the equipment operation.

[0029] Preferably, in one embodiment, the first sliding member 50 is rotatably disposed in the slide groove 41. That is, the first sliding member 50 can rotate by itself, and when the first sliding member 50 follows the crank turntable 30 to perform a circular motion, the first sliding member 50 will roll along the groove wall of the slide groove 41 instead of sliding, thereby reducing the friction between the first sliding member 50 and the first sliding arm 40 and reducing the friction loss of the components. Specifically, in one embodiment, the first sliding member 50 is a roller installed on the crank turntable 30.

[0030] Preferably, in one embodiment, the first guide unit 70 includes a first guide rail 71 and a first guide slider 72, wherein the first guide rail 71 is mounted on the mounting seat 10, and the extension direction of the first guide rail 71 is parallel to the radial direction of the crank turntable 30. The first guide slider 72 is slidably mounted on the first guide rail 71, and the first guide slider 72 is connected to the first sliding arm 40. When the first sliding member 50 applies force to the first sliding arm 40, due to the guiding restrictions of the first guide rail 71 and the first guide slider 72, the first sliding arm 40 can only reciprocate in a straight line along the radial direction parallel to the crank turntable 30, thereby driving the push block 60 to reciprocate along the radial direction parallel to the crank turntable 30, and pushing the firmware for feeding. In other embodiments, the first guide unit 70 may also be provided with only a guide rail, and the slider is directly used by the first sliding arm 40. In other words, it is sufficient for the first guide unit 70 to guide the first sliding arm 40 when it moves. In this embodiment, the structure of the first guide rail 71 and the first guide slider 72 can directly adopt existing standard parts without the need to customize the corresponding structure, which also makes installation easier.

[0031] Preferably, in one embodiment, the mounting seat 10 includes a mounting seat body 11 and a connecting arm 12 connected to the mounting seat body 11, the driving motor 20 is mounted on the mounting seat body 11, and the first guide rail 71 is mounted on the connecting arm 12. Through this structure, mutual interference between components can be better avoided, making component installation easier and simplifying the installation structure.

[0032] Preferably, in one embodiment, the push mechanism 100 includes a second sliding arm 80, a second sliding member 90, a blocking block 110, and a second guide unit 120. A cam groove 31 is provided on the crank turntable 30, and the second sliding member 90 is mounted on the second sliding arm 40 and is located in the cam groove 31. When the crank turntable 30 rotates, the second sliding member 90 slides in the cam groove 31 accordingly, so that when the second sliding member 90 slides to different position areas in the cam groove 31, the groove wall of the cam groove 31 pushes or pulls back the second sliding member 90 accordingly, thereby driving the second sliding arm 80 to reciprocate. The blocking block 110 is connected to the second sliding arm 80 and is directly opposite to the push block 60, and along the axial direction of the crank turntable 30, the blocking block 110 and the push block 60 are spaced apart from each other. Therefore, when the crank turntable 30 drives the second sliding arm 80 to reciprocate, the blocking block 110 can be driven to reciprocate synchronously. The second guide unit 120 is mounted on the mounting seat 10 and connected to the second sliding arm 80 to limit and guide the sliding direction of the second sliding arm 80. In other words, the second guide unit 120 is a limiting guide when the second sliding arm 80 moves. Through the guiding limit of the second guide unit 120, the second sliding arm 80 can only move along the guiding direction of the second guide unit 120, thereby ensuring that the second sliding arm 80 moves accurately along the required direction when the pusher mechanism 100 is in operation.

[0033] The driving motor 20 is used to drive the crank turntable 30 to rotate so that the second sliding member 90 slides in the cam groove 31, thereby driving the second sliding arm 80 to move linearly. When the crank turntable 30 rotates, the second sliding member 90 moves along the cam groove 31. When the second sliding member 90 moves to different positions (such as relatively protruding positions or relatively concave positions) in the cam groove 31, the groove wall of the cam groove 31 will apply force to the second sliding member 90 to push the second sliding member 90 outward (or pull the second sliding member 90 back inward) to push and pull the second sliding arm 80. Due to the limitation of the second guide unit 120, the second sliding arm 80 can only move linearly in the required direction. Since the blocking block 110 is connected to the second sliding arm 80, the blocking block 110 is driven to move back and forth linearly to achieve continuous blocking of the firmware.

[0034] It is understandable that the firmware is fed continuously. When the push block 60 pushes the first firmware into the turntable, the second firmware will still be transported forward. During the movement of the push block 60, it is easy to drive the subsequent second firmware to move, thereby causing the second firmware to deviate from the predetermined position, thereby affecting the stability of the subsequent feeding. Through the setting of the blocking block 110, when the push block 60 pushes the first firmware, the blocking block 110 can be blocked at the front side of the push block 60, thereby blocking the second firmware and preventing the subsequent firmware from being continuously transported forward. In this way, during the process of the push block 60 pushing the firmware and the process of the push block 60 resetting, since the subsequent firmware has not entered the feeding position, the push block 60 will not drive the subsequent firmware to deviate, thereby ensuring the stability of the feeding.

[0035] Specifically, in one embodiment, the cam groove 31 is a special-shaped annular structure connected end to end, and when the drive motor 20 drives the crank turntable 30 to rotate, it only drives it to rotate continuously in the same direction (for example, the drive motor 20 only drives the crank turntable 30 to rotate clockwise). Of course, in other embodiments, the cam groove 31 can also be an arc-shaped cam groove structure with closed ends. When the drive motor 20 is driven, the output shaft rotates forward and reverse, thereby driving the push block 60 and the blocking block 110 to move back and forth. In this embodiment, by setting the cam groove 31 to be annular, the drive motor 20 only needs to drive the crank turntable 30 in the same direction, which can make the operation process more stable.

[0036] It can be understood that by synchronously driving the push block 60 and the blocking block 110 through the same driving source, the operating timing of the push block 60 and the blocking block 110 can be more accurately controlled, making the operation more stable.

[0037] Preferably, in one embodiment, the second sliding member 90 is rotatably disposed in the cam groove 31. That is, the second sliding member 90 can rotate by itself, and when the second sliding member 90 moves in the cam groove 31, the second sliding member 90 rolls along the groove wall of the cam groove 31 instead of sliding, thereby reducing the friction between the second sliding member 90 and the crank turntable 30 and reducing the friction loss of the components. Specifically, in one embodiment, the second sliding member 90 is a roller mounted on the second sliding arm 80.

[0038] Preferably, in one embodiment, the second guide unit 120 includes a second guide rail 121 and a second guide slider 122. The second guide rail 121 is mounted on the mounting seat 10, and the extension direction of the second guide rail 121 is parallel to the radial direction of the crank turntable 30. The second guide slider 122 is slidably mounted on the second guide rail 121, and the second guide slider 122 is connected to the second sliding arm 80. When the second sliding member 90 applies force to the second sliding arm 80, due to the guiding restrictions of the second guide rail 121 and the second guide slider 122, the second sliding arm 80 can only reciprocate in a straight line along the radial direction parallel to the crank turntable 30, thereby driving the blocking block 110 to reciprocate along the radial direction parallel to the crank turntable 30 to block the secondary firmware. In other embodiments, the second guide unit 120 can also be provided with only a guide rail, and the slider is directly played by the second sliding arm 80. That is to say, it is sufficient that the second guide unit 120 can guide the movement of the second sliding arm 80. In this embodiment, the structure of the second guide rail 121 and the second guide slider 122 can directly use existing standard parts without the need to customize the corresponding structure, which also makes installation easier.

[0039] Preferably, in one embodiment, the first sliding member 50 is mounted on the front side of the crank turntable 30, and the cam groove 31 is disposed on the back side of the crank turntable 30. In other words, the structure for driving the push block 60 and the structure for driving the blocking block 110 are disposed on opposite sides of the crank turntable 30, so as to avoid interference between the components.

[0040] Please refer to Figures 7 to 9Meanwhile, in one embodiment, a firmware conveying device is also provided, which includes a turntable 200, a feeding conveying mechanism 300 and the pushing mechanism 100. The turntable 200 has a feeding position 201 and a discharging position 202, and a receiving cavity 203 for accommodating the firmware 400 is provided in the turntable 200. The discharging port of the feeding conveying mechanism 300 is arranged corresponding to the feeding position 201 of the turntable 200, so as to convey the firmware 400 one by one to the feeding position 201 of the turntable 200. The pushing block 60 is arranged corresponding to the feeding position 201 of the turntable 200, so as to push a single firmware 400 in the feeding position 201 of the turntable 200 into the receiving cavity 203. That is to say, the feed conveying mechanism 300 is the source of the firmware 400 of the entire structure, and the feed conveying mechanism 300 can continuously convey the firmware 400 sent by the upstream device to the feed position 201, and the feed conveying mechanism 300 only conveys one firmware 400 to the feed position 201 each time. The push block 60 is located in the area where the feed position 201 is located, so that the firmware 400 in the feed position 201 can be pushed into the accommodating cavity 203 by the movement of the push block 60, so as to realize the transfer of a single firmware 400 from the feed conveying mechanism 300 to the turntable 200, and the reciprocating movement of the push block 60 can realize the transfer of the firmware 400 to the turntable 200 one by one.

[0041] Preferably, in one embodiment, the blocking block 110 is located at the front side of the push block 60. The front side here refers to the conveying direction of the feed conveying mechanism 300. When the firmware 400 is conveyed to the feed position 201 via the feed conveying mechanism 300, the firmware 400 needs to pass through the area where the blocking block 110 is located before flowing into the feed position 201. The blocking block 110 is used to block the firmware 400 in the feed conveying mechanism 300 when the push block 60 pushes the firmware 400. That is, when the push block 60 pushes the firmware 400 in the feed position 201 into the accommodating chamber 203, the blocking block 110 can move synchronously, thereby blocking the front side of the push block 60, blocking the firmware 400 in the feed conveying mechanism 300, and preventing the firmware 400 from continuing to move to the feed position 201.

[0042] Please refer to Fig. 9Preferably, in one embodiment, the feed conveying mechanism 300 includes a driving wheel assembly 301, a tensioning wheel assembly 302, a cloth belt 303, a mounting plate 304, and a conveying motor 305, wherein the tensioning wheel assembly 302 is arranged in parallel and spaced apart from the driving wheel assembly 301. The cloth belt 303 is wound around the driving wheel assembly 301 and the tensioning wheel assembly 302, and passes through the mounting plate 304. The conveying motor 305 is connected to the driving wheel assembly 301 to drive the driving wheel assembly 301 to rotate. That is to say, in this embodiment, the feed conveying mechanism 300 specifically adopts the structural form of a conveyor belt to convey the firmware 400.

[0043] Preferably, in one embodiment, the cloth belt 303 is provided with a suction hole 3031, and the suction hole 3031 is provided with a plurality of suction holes 3031, and the plurality of suction holes 3031 are sequentially arranged along the length direction of the cloth belt 303. The mounting plate 304 is provided with a negative pressure channel for communicating with the suction hole 3031, and the mounting plate 304 is also provided with a suction port 3041 for communicating with the negative pressure channel, and the suction port 3041 is used for externally connecting a negative pressure device. That is to say, in this embodiment, the feeding conveying mechanism 300 specifically adopts a suction belt structure, and a negative pressure is formed at the suction hole 3031 by an externally connected negative pressure device, so that the fixture 400 is stably adsorbed on the cloth belt 303 for conveying. Compared with the prior art, the present embodiment adopts a suction belt structure to convey the fixture 400, which can not only improve the stability of conveying, but also prevent the fixture 400 from being stuck or blocked.

[0044] Preferably, in one embodiment, the accommodating cavity 203 is opened on the circumferential surface of the rotating disk 200, and a plurality of the accommodating cavities 203 are provided, and the plurality of accommodating cavities 203 are sequentially spaced along the circumference of the rotating disk 200. By providing a plurality of accommodating cavities 203, the transfer efficiency of the firmware 400 can be further improved.

[0045] Preferably, in one embodiment, at least two of the pushing mechanisms 100 are provided, one of the pushing mechanisms 100 is used to forwardly feed the firmware 400 into the accommodating cavity 203, and the other of the pushing mechanisms 100 is used to reversely feed the firmware 400 into the accommodating cavity 203. Correspondingly, the turntable 200 has at least two feeding positions 201, and at least two of the feeding conveying mechanisms 300 are provided. That is to say, the turntable 200 rotates in the same direction all the time, and the two pushing mechanisms 100 are used to feed the firmware 400 into the accommodating chamber 203, and the feeding positions of the two pushing mechanisms 100 are different; after one pushing mechanism 100 feeds the firmware 400, the firmware 400 is distributed in the accommodating chamber 203 in the forward direction (the bottom wall of the firmware 400 is opposite to the bottom wall of the accommodating chamber 203); after the other pushing mechanism 100 feeds the firmware 400, the firmware 400 is distributed in the accommodating chamber 203 in the reverse direction (the top wall of the firmware 400 is opposite to the bottom wall of the accommodating chamber 203). Among them, the forward direction refers to the relative position relationship between the firmware 400 and the accommodating chamber 203. Through this structure, the turntable 200 can output two firmware 400 in different directions when discharging.

[0046] Preferably, in one embodiment, only two of the pushing mechanisms 100 are provided, and the two pushing mechanisms 100 are located at opposite ends of the turntable 200. By arranging the two pushing mechanisms 100 at opposite ends of the turntable 200, interference between components can be better avoided, and the firmware 400 transmitted by the upstream device can be better adapted.

[0047] Specifically, in one embodiment, a blocking arm 111 is provided at the end of the blocking block 110, and the blocking arm 111 is located above the end of the blocking block 110. When the blocking block 110 blocks the fixture 400, the blocking arm 111 is used to block the fixture 400. That is to say, in this embodiment, the component of the blocking block 110 used to block the fixture 400 is only a small piece of the blocking arm 111 on the end, rather than the entire end, so that the blocking block 110 can move to the blocking position more smoothly, and at the same time, the blocking block 110 can better avoid pressing the fixture 400. It can be understood that the "water cup" fixture is a conical structure as a whole, with one end being wider and the other end gradually narrowing. By providing the blocking arm 111, when the blocking block 110 blocks the fixture 400, it can extend into the outer side of the narrower end of the first fixture 400 without touching the first fixture 400, so as to avoid affecting the feeding of the first fixture 400. The blocking arm 111 extending inward can correspondingly block the wider end of the secondary fixture 400 (such as Figure 8As shown), thereby restricting subsequent firmware 400 from entering the feed position 201.

[0048] Please refer to Figures 10 to 12 Meanwhile, in one embodiment, a filter rod compounding device 1000 is also provided, which includes the hardware conveying device, the filter rod conveying turntable 500 and the adapter plate 600. The adapter plate 600 is docked with the hardware conveying device and the filter rod conveying turntable 500 respectively to receive and arrange the hardware 400 and the filter rod.

[0049] Specifically, in one embodiment, the turntable 200 is horizontally arranged to output the fixtures 400 one by one. The filter rod conveying tray 500 is vertically arranged to output the filter rods one by one. The adapter tray 600 is vertically arranged. In other words, the filter rod conveying tray 500 and the adapter tray 600 are both arranged in the vertical direction, while the turntable 200 is arranged in the horizontal direction. This structure can better utilize the space in the vertical and horizontal directions, making the overall structure more compact and making the overall structure layout smaller.

[0050] Along the rotation direction of the adapter plate 600, the adapter plate 600 is sequentially provided with a first docking position 601, a second docking position 602 and an adapter plate discharge position 603. The first docking position 601 is located at the firmware discharge position 101 of the firmware conveying turntable assembly 10. When the corresponding structure on the adapter plate 600 rotates to the first docking position 601, the firmware 400 output from the turntable 200 can be correspondingly received. The second docking position 602 is located at the filter rod discharge position of the filter rod conveying plate 500. When the corresponding structure on the adapter plate 600 rotates to the second docking position 602, the filter rod output from the filter rod conveying plate 500 can be correspondingly received. The rotation of the adapter plate 600 can also convey the firmware 400 and the filter rod. When the corresponding structure on the adapter plate 600 rotates to the adapter plate discharge position 603, the arranged firmware 400 and the filter rod can be sent to the subsequent equipment.

[0051] Specifically, in one embodiment, the turntable 200, the filter rod conveying turntable 500, and the adapter plate 600 are all driven by motors.

[0052] Preferably, in one embodiment, the adapter plate 600 includes an adapter plate body 604 and a receiving portion 605 arranged on the periphery of the adapter plate body 604, the adapter plate body 604 is mainly used to connect with the driving structure, so as to drive the adapter plate 600 to rotate through the driving structure, and the receiving portion 605 is mainly used to receive and transport the firmware 400.

[0053] Along the axial direction of the adapter plate body 604, the receiving portion 605 includes a blocking plate 6051 located on the outside and two toggle teeth 6052 located on the inside. The inside and the outside refer to the relative positions between the two components, and both the inside and the outside are based on the position of the turntable 200. That is, after the adapter plate 600 is installed, the toggle teeth 6052 are located on a side relatively close to the turntable 200, and the blocking plate 6051 is located on a side relatively far from the turntable 200. The two toggle teeth 6052 are arranged at intervals from each other along the circumference of the adapter plate body 604 to form a firmware accommodating space 6053 for accommodating the firmware 400. The blocking plate 6051 blocks the outside of the firmware accommodating space 6053 to block the firmware 400. When the adapter plate 600 receives the firmware 400, the firmware 400 falls into the firmware accommodating space 6053 between the two toggle teeth 6052, and the blocking plate 6051 can block the firmware 400 on the outside to prevent the firmware 400 from falling out of the firmware accommodating space 6053 during the transfer process, thereby ensuring that the adapter plate 600 stably receives the firmware 400 into the firmware accommodating space 6053. As the adapter plate 600 rotates, the toggle teeth 6052 can synchronously drive the firmware 400 to move, thereby achieving the receiving and steering of the firmware 400. Along the circumference of the adapter plate body 604, a plurality of receiving portions 605 are sequentially arranged at intervals. By providing a plurality of receiving portions 605, the transfer and transportation efficiency of the firmware 400 can be further improved. Along the circumference of the adapter plate body 604 , a filter rod accommodating space 606 for accommodating a filter rod is formed between two adjacent receiving portions 605 .

[0054] Preferably, in one embodiment, the adapter disc body 604 includes a central portion 6041 and a peripheral portion 6042 arranged on the periphery of the central portion 6041. Along the axial direction of the adapter disc body 604, the peripheral portion 6042 includes an outer disc 6043 located on the outside and an inner disc 6044 located on the inside. And along the axial direction of the adapter disc body 604, the outer disc 6043 and the inner disc 6044 are spaced apart from each other. The toggle teeth 6052 are located on the periphery of the inner disc 6044, and the blocking plate 6051 is located on the periphery of the outer disc 6043. Since the outer disc 6043 and the inner disc 6044 are spaced apart from each other along the axial direction, the blocking plate 6051 and the toggle teeth 6052 are also spaced apart from each other along the axial direction. Through this structure, when receiving the firmware 400, a part of the firmware 400 can fall into the area between the outer disk 6043 and the inner disk 6044, so as to better prevent the firmware 400 from falling from the inner side of the adapter disk body 604, so that the adapter disk 600 can transport the firmware 400 more stably.

[0055] It is understandable that, due to the small diameter of the "water cup" fixture, it is very easy to tip over during the transfer and transportation process. Preferably, in one embodiment, an inclined surface 6045 is provided on the outer periphery of the inner disk 6044 near the side of the outer disk 6043, and the inclined surface 6045 is inclined inward. The fixture 400 can be guided by the setting of the inclined surface 6045 to fall between the outer disk 6043 and the inner disk 6044. At the same time, the inclined surface 6045 can also limit the position of the fixture 400 to a certain extent, so that the position of the fixture 400 is more stable during the transfer and transportation process, and the fixture 400 is prevented from tipping over.

[0056] Preferably, in one embodiment, along the circumference of the adapter plate body 604, the length of the blocking plate 6051 is not less than the spacing between the two toggle teeth 6052. That is, in this embodiment, the blocking plate 6051 can completely block the firmware accommodating space 6053 along the circumference to ensure the comprehensiveness of the blocking, thereby further ensuring that the firmware 400 is in the desired position state in the adapter plate 600.

[0057] Specifically, in one embodiment, the rotating disk 200 is directly docked with the adapter disk 600. When the accommodating cavity 203 of the rotating disk 200 rotates to the discharge position 202, the bottom of the accommodating cavity 203 is suspended, so that the firmware 400 automatically falls into the adapter disk 600. Of course, in other embodiments, a pushing structure can be selectively provided at the discharge position 202, and the firmware 400 in the accommodating cavity 203 is pushed into the adapter disk 600 through the pushing structure.

[0058] The above description is only an implementation mode of the present invention. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, improvements can be made without departing from the creative concept of the present invention, but these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
