[0015] The following is a detailed description of an embodiment of the utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. This embodiment is implemented on the premise of the technical solution of the utility model, and a detailed implementation method and a specific working process are given, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited to the following embodiment.

[0016] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the automatic feeding and turning mechanism for the filter rod compound machine described in the utility model includes a frame 1, on which a horizontal conveyor belt 2 for transmitting the filter rod turnover box M is arranged, and a rotating shaft 3 located at the output end of the horizontal conveyor belt 2 is also arranged on the frame 1, and the rotating shaft 3 is driven by a rotating motor, on which a turnover box fixing frame 4 is arranged, and the turnover box fixing frame 4 is provided with a turnover box clamping mechanism 5, and the turnover box fixing frame 4 is connected with the feed hopper after being turned 180°.

[0017] Furthermore, turnover box limit plates 21 are provided on both sides of the horizontal conveyor belt 2, and the turnover box limit plates 21 are extended along the length direction of the horizontal conveyor belt 2 and connected to the frame 1 through a width adjustment mechanism. The width adjustment mechanism includes a plurality of support plates 22, the bottom of the support plates 22 is connected to the frame 1, and the top is located outside the turnover box limit plates 21, and threaded holes for installing adjustment screws 23 are correspondingly provided on the support plates 22 and the turnover box limit plates 21. By screwing the adjustment screws 23, the spacing between the turnover box limit plates 21 on both sides can be adjusted, so that the filter rod turnover box M can be stably transported along the horizontal conveyor belt 2.

[0018] The above-mentioned turnover box fixing frame 4 includes a triangular fixing frame 41 arranged at both ends of the rotating shaft 3, and the triangular fixing frame 41 is connected to a supporting frame 42 adapted to the filter rod turnover box M, and the supporting frame 42 has a front opening for connecting to the horizontal conveyor belt 2 and a top opening for connecting to the feed hopper.

[0019] The above-mentioned turnover box clamping mechanism 5 is arranged in pairs, and each turnover box clamping mechanism 5 includes a fixing seat 51 and a clamping claw 52 hingedly connected thereto, wherein the fixing seat 51 is installed on the triangular fixing frame 41, and a vertical connecting rod is arranged in the middle of the clamping claw 52, ​​and the head extends toward the direction of the filter rod turnover box M and is adapted to the filter rod turnover box M. The opening and closing of the clamping claw 52 is controlled by a horizontal cylinder 53 installed on the back of the supporting frame 42, and one end of the horizontal cylinder 53 is hingedly connected to the supporting frame 42, and the other end is rotatably connected to the vertical connecting rod.

[0020] The filter rod turnover box M has a back plate, a bottom plate, a left plate and a right plate that are fitted with the support frame 42, wherein a movable top plate is arranged between the left plate and the right plate, and the left plate and the right plate are provided with slots that are adapted to the clamping claws 52. After the filter rods are neatly loaded into the filter rod turnover box M, a movable top plate is installed on the top to prevent the filter rods from slipping out during the flipping process.

[0021] When in use, the filter rod turnover box M is manually placed on the horizontal conveyor belt 2 and pushed to the turnover box fixing frame 4 through the horizontal conveyor belt 2; when the detector detects that the frontmost filter rod turnover box M is pushed into place, the horizontal cylinder 53 is actuated to make the clamping claws 52 engage in the slots on both sides of the filter rod turnover box M; then, the horizontal conveyor belt 2 is retreated a certain distance to ensure that the turnover box fixing frame 4 and the filter rod turnover box M thereon have enough space for rotation; thereafter, the rotating motor is started to turn the filter rod turnover box M 180°, at which time, the top opening of the supporting frame 42 and the movable top plate of the filter rod turnover box M are both set downward, facing the hopper; the movable top plate of the filter rod turnover box M is pulled out to feed the hopper. When the detector detects that the amount of material in the filter rod turnover box M is reduced to below the warning line, the clamp 52 is loosened by the horizontal cylinder 53, and the filter rod turnover box M connected to the support frame 42 is taken out. Then, the above actions are repeated again to move the filter rod turnover box M downward to feed the material.

[0022] It should be noted that, in the description of the present invention, terms indicating orientation or positional relationships, such as "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inside", "outside", etc., are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the drawings and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.
