Through the control of the cotton plugging cylinder 3, the pneumatic telescopic rod 4 can perform telescopic actions, thereby driving the cotton plugging rod 5 to move up and down to complete the cotton plugging process.
[0050] The working principle of the pipeline interface 11 and the pipeline port 10

[0060] During the cotton stuffing operation, the pneumatic telescopic rod 4 is controlled by the cotton stuffing cylinder 3, causing the pneumatic telescopic rod 4 to extend and drive the cotton stuffing rod 5 to move up and down.
[0061] The cotton stuffing rod 5 passes through the guide sleeve 6, pushing the sponge out of the suction pipe of the negative pressure cotton suction mechanism to achieve the cotton stuffing operation.
[0062] The sealing sleeve 7 and the sealing gasket ensure the sealing of the system during the cotton stuffing process, and the lubricating oil reduces the friction between the cotton stuffing rod 5 and the guide sleeve 6.
[0063] Gas path connection:
[0064] The pipeline for external negative pressure suction is connected to the pipe interface 11 on the fixing plate 1 through the pipe opening 10 on the connecting plate 2, providing compressed air for the negative pressure cotton suction work. Two sets of pipe interfaces 11 are symmetrically arranged on the fixing plate 1. When one set of pipe interfaces 11 is not connected to the pipeline for external negative pressure suction, this set of pipe interfaces 11 can be sealed with a sealing plug.
[0065] The vertical setting of the pipeline interface 11 and the pipeline opening 10 ensures the firmness and tightness of the connection, reducing the possibility of gas leakage.
[0066] System tightness:
[0067] The sealing sleeve 7 fits against the bottom of the fixed plate 1, and the sealing gasket fits against the inner wall of the guiding sleeve 6, jointly ensuring the sealing effect during the cotton plugging process and preventing material leakage.
[0068] The application of lubricating oil reduces the friction between the cotton plugging rod 5 and the guiding sleeve 6, ensuring the smooth movement of the cotton plugging rod 5.
