[0029] The present embodiment of the sorting and sorting device for light cylinders takes the sorting and sorting and recycling of cigarette filter rods as an example to describe the technical solution of the present utility model in detail, which should not be understood as any limitation to the present application. That is, it should be understood that the present utility model can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments described here. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present utility model and to fully convey the scope of the present utility model to those skilled in the art.

[0030] See attached Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present embodiment is a device for sorting and sorting cigarette filter rods, comprising a vertical mounting plate 1 and a grooved support plate 2 arranged below the vertical mounting plate 1, as well as a material receiving auxiliary mechanism 3, a conveying mechanism 4 and a material dividing mechanism 5 arranged on the vertical mounting plate 1.

[0031] In this embodiment, the vertical mounting plate 1 is vertically arranged above the grooved support plate 2, and a gap is provided between the lower portion of the vertical mounting plate 1 and the upper surface of the grooved support plate 2 for horizontal movement of the cigarette filter rod. A clearance hole 11 is provided in the lower middle portion of the vertical mounting plate 1 for the extension of the carrying rod 42 and the carrying gripper 43 in the carrying mechanism 4.

[0032] The material receiving auxiliary mechanism 3 includes a telescopic cylinder 31 and an auxiliary material receiving block 32 connected to the extended end of the telescopic cylinder 31. The telescopic cylinder 31 is fixed on the outer side of the vertical mounting plate 1. The auxiliary material receiving block 32 is horizontally extended and retracted under the action of the telescopic cylinder 31, and can be extended to the avoidance hole 11 to form a material receiving cavity relative to the transport gripper 43. When the transport gripper 43 needs to rotate, the auxiliary material receiving block 32 is retracted under the action of the telescopic cylinder 31 to avoid interference with the transport gripper 43.

[0033] Specifically, the bottom end of the auxiliary receiving block 32 is provided with a receiving bottom surface 321 for sealing the bottom of the receiving cavity to prevent the fallen cigarette filter rod from falling out of the receiving cavity.

[0034] The transport mechanism 4 includes a rotating cylinder 41 and a transport rod 42 connected to the rotating shaft of the rotating cylinder 41. A transport gripper 43 is provided at the end of the transport rod 42. A grabbing air path 44 connected to a positive and negative air pressure mechanism is provided inside the transport rod 42 and the transport gripper 43. The grabbing air path 44 is used to grab the cigarette filter rod. The transport gripper 43 switches between two working positions under the action of the rotating cylinder 41. The first working position is that the transport gripper 43 extends from the avoidance hole 11, and forms a receiving cavity for the cigarette filter rod to fall into relative to the auxiliary receiving block 32, as shown in the attached figure. Figures 1 to 3 The second working position is that the transport gripper 43 rotates downward so that the cigarette filter rod grasped by the transport gripper 43 is parallel to the sorting groove 21 on the grooved support plate 2, as shown in the attached Figures 4 to 6 shown.

[0035] Specifically, the facing surfaces of the auxiliary material receiving block 32 and the carrying gripper 43 are both configured as semicircular arc surfaces, so as to form a circular material receiving cavity consistent with the shape of the cigarette filter rod.

[0036] The material distribution mechanism 5 includes a horizontal transmission mechanism. A transmission block 52 is provided on the transmission belt 51 of the horizontal transmission mechanism, and the rotating cylinder 41 is connected to the transmission block 52 through the up-and-down adjustment cylinder 53. Then, the horizontal transmission mechanism can drive the transport mechanism 4 to realize horizontal movement and up-and-down adjustment, so as to sort and sort the cigarette filter rods to the top of the different sorting slots 21 of the slotted support plate 2, so as to facilitate the classification and recovery of the cigarette filter rods.

[0037] Specifically, the horizontal transmission mechanism includes a driving wheel 54, a driven wheel 55, a transmission belt 51 connecting the driving wheel 54 and the driven wheel 55, and a servo motor 56 driving the driving wheel 54 to rotate. The driving wheel 54 and the driven wheel 55 are rotatably arranged on the inner side of the vertical mounting plate 1, and the inner side of the vertical mounting plate 1 is also provided with a guide rail 57 arranged along the transmission belt 51, and the guide rail 57 is provided with a guide block 58, and the guide block 58 is fixedly connected to the transmission block 52. In this embodiment, the guide rail 57 adopts a high-precision guide rail, which can ensure that the material distribution mechanism 5 drives the conveying mechanism 4 to slide smoothly and can be controlled at any time.

[0038] Furthermore, the horizontal transmission mechanism further comprises a position sensing mechanism 6. Figure 7 and 8 As shown, the position sensing mechanism 6 includes a sensing member 61 and a receiving member 62 arranged opposite to the sensing member 61, wherein the sensing member 61 is arranged on the transmission block 52, and the receiving member 62 is arranged on a fixed block 63 close to the servo motor 56. The servo motor 56 is controlled to start and stop according to the distance between the sensing member 61 and the receiving member 62, so as to further ensure the accurate controllability of the transport mechanism 4.

[0039] The grooved support plate 2 in this embodiment is horizontally arranged directly below the vertical mounting plate 1, and a plurality of parallel sorting grooves 21 are provided on its upper surface, such as 30 sorting grooves in this embodiment.

[0040] Also, as attached Figure 1 As shown, a material drop hole 7 which is consistent with the center of the material receiving cavity is provided on the upper part of the outer side surface of the vertical mounting plate 1, and an optical fiber detection switch 8 is provided at the material drop hole 7 for detecting whether a cigarette filter rod enters the material receiving cavity through the material drop hole 7, so as to start the material drop auxiliary mechanism 3, the conveying mechanism 4 and the material dividing mechanism 5.

[0041] The sorting and sorting device for cigarette filter rods in this embodiment controls the corresponding execution components to cooperate with each other to complete sorting and sorting according to the measurement results of the upstream equipment. The specific implementation steps are as follows:

[0042] First, the handling gripper 43 of the handling mechanism 4 is rotated and extended out of the avoidance hole 11 under the drive of the rotating cylinder 41, and is ready to receive the rod. Then the telescopic cylinder 31 of the material receiving auxiliary mechanism 3 drives the auxiliary material receiving block 32 to extend, so that the auxiliary material receiving block 32 is opposite to the handling gripper 43, and together they form a material receiving cavity.

[0043] After the cigarette filter rod test sample is measured by the upstream equipment, it enters the transmission channel, and the transmission channel drops the sample from the drop hole 7. After the optical fiber detection switch 8 senses that the filter rod has fallen, the positive and negative air pressure mechanism provides negative pressure through the grabbing air path 44, so that the transport gripper 43 grabs the sample. Then, the telescopic cylinder 31 of the material receiving auxiliary mechanism 3 drives the auxiliary material receiving block 32 to retract, making way for the transport gripper 43.

[0044] Next, the transport gripper 43 rotates downward through the rotating cylinder 41 until the grasped sample is parallel to the sorting slot 21 on the slotted pallet 2. Then, the stepping servo motor 56 of the material distribution mechanism 5 drives the transport gripper 43 to reach the predetermined position horizontally according to the feedback of the measurement result and then stops. At this time, the up and down adjustment cylinder 53 in the material distribution mechanism 5 drives the transport mechanism 4 to move downward until the transport gripper 43 reaches a suitable position above the slotted pallet 2. Next, the positive and negative air pressure mechanism provides positive pressure through the grasping air path 44, so that the transport gripper 43 releases the sample, and the sample falls into the corresponding sorting slot 21, completing the sorting and sorting action of the test sample. Afterwards, the transport gripper 43 is reset under the drive of the material distribution mechanism 5, and prepares for the next sorting and sorting action, and this cycle is repeated to complete the sorting and sorting task of the tested cigarette filter rods.

[0045] The utility model can make the tested samples and the test data correspond one to one by sorting and sorting the test samples. For unqualified products, a secondary analysis and summary can be carried out through the correspondence between samples and data to find out the problem points, and accurate changes can be made to the process parameters according to the problem indicators. Blind adjustments are no longer required, and production equipment can be adjusted more accurately and quickly, the production process is optimized, production operations are guided, production costs are reduced, and market competitiveness is enhanced.

[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the present invention in any form. Those skilled in the art may make some simple modifications, equivalent changes or modifications using the technical contents disclosed above, which are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
