[0016] 3. Beneficial Effects

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present utility model are as follows:

[0018] (1) In this solution, multiple blanking plates are arranged to cooperate with multiple sorting racks for sorting work. The rotation of the lead screw makes the ball slider drive the baffle to move vertically, adjusting the opening and closing state of the blanking plate. Then, the push plate pushes the tobacco to move to the blanking plate to complete the sorting operation. Compared with the prior art, an automated sorting component is set up, which can automatically complete the sorting work of cigarette strips, reduce manual participation, and improve the sorting efficiency.

[0019] (2) By setting up a buffer mechanism, after the cigarette strips fall into the bearing plate, under the action of gravity, the bearing plate rotates obliquely downward. The rotation of the bearing plate makes the movable shaft stretch the flat spiral spring until the cigarette strips fall into the middle turntable along the inclined bearing plate. Then, under the action of the flat spiral spring, the bearing plate returns to the horizontal state. Compared with the prior art, an automatically resetting buffer component is set up, which can buffer the tobacco falling during the sorting process and reduce the damage of cigarette strips.

A driving motor 7 is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom surface of the middle turntable 2, a driving motor 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the discharge plate 3, a lead screw 9 is fixedly connected to the output end of the driving motor 8, a ball screw slider 10 is sleeved on the outside of the lead screw 9, and a baffle 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the ball screw slider 10;

[0028] The buffer mechanism 6 includes two symmetrically arranged support rods 12, a limit ring 13 is fixedly connected to the top end of the support rod 12, a bearing plate 14 is arranged in the middle of the opposite surfaces of the two limit rings 13, movable shafts 15 are fixedly connected to both ends of one side of the bearing plate 14, and a flat scroll spring 16 is fixedly connected to the outside of the movable shaft 15. In order to buffer the tobacco falling into the middle turntable 2, a buffer mechanism 6 is provided.

[0029] Refer to Figure 2 , the middle turntable 2 and the discharge plate 3 are both arranged in an inclined shape, the output end of the driving motor 7 penetrates through the middle turntable 2 and is fixedly connected to the pusher plate 5, and the driving motor 7 is started to drive the pusher plate 5 to rotate, so as to push the tobacco inside the middle turntable 2 to rotate towards the corresponding discharge plate 3 direction.

[0030] Refer to Figure 3, a support plate is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the blanking plate 3 on the side close to the driving motor 8. The bottom end of the lead screw 9 is movably connected to the support plate. The tobacco is conveyed through the conveying rack 1. At the same time, the type of the cigarette rod on the conveying rack 1 is identified by the image sensor. Then, the corresponding driving motor 8 is started to drive the lead screw 9 to rotate.

[0031] Refer to Figure 3 , the side of the baffle 11 is arc-shaped, and the baffle 11 penetrates through the blanking plate 3. The lead screw 9 cooperates with the ball slider 10 to slide the baffle 11 downward below the blanking plate 3, so that the corresponding blanking plate 3 is in a through state. Then, the cigarette rod falls through the blanking plate 3 onto the corresponding sorting rack 4 to complete the sorting work. Then, the driving motor 8 drives the lead screw 9 to rotate in the reverse direction to reset the baffle 11 and restore the blanking plate 3 to the closed state.

[0032] Refer to Figure 4 , the support rod 12 is fixedly connected to the middle turntable 2. The bearing plate 14 is located below one end of the conveying rack 1. The cigarette rod falls from one end of the conveying rack 1 into the bearing plate 14. Under the action of gravity, the bearing plate 14 rotates obliquely downward.

[0033] Refer to Figure 4 , the movable shaft 15 is located inside the limit ring 13, and the movable shaft 15 is movably connected to the limit ring 13. The rotation of the bearing plate 14 stretches the planar volute spring 16 by the movable shaft 15 until the cigarette rod falls into the middle turntable 2 along the inclined bearing plate 14.

[0034] Refer to Figure 4 , one end of the planar volute spring 16 far from the movable shaft 15 is fixedly connected to the limit ring 13. Under the action of the planar volute spring 16, the bearing plate 14 returns to the horizontal state and continues to buffer the subsequent falling cigarette rods.

[0035] In use: The tobacco is conveyed through the conveying rack 1. The image sensor centered on the top surface of the conveying rack 1 is used to identify the category of the cigarette rod on the conveying rack 1. At the same time, the corresponding drive motor 8 is started to drive the lead screw 9 to rotate. The lead screw 9 cooperates with the ball slider 10 to make the baffle 11 slide downward below the blanking plate 3, so that the corresponding blanking plate 3 is in a through state. The cigarette rod falls from one end of the conveying rack 1 into the inside of the bearing plate 14. Under the action of gravity, the bearing plate 14 rotates obliquely downward. The rotation of the bearing plate 14 stretches the planar volute spring 16 by the movable shaft 15 until the cigarette rod falls into the inside of the middle turntable 2 along the inclined bearing plate 14. Then, under the action of the planar volute spring 16, the bearing plate 14 returns to the horizontal state and continues to buffer the subsequent falling cigarette rods. At the same time, the drive motor 7 drives the push plate 5 to rotate, pushing the tobacco inside the middle turntable 2 to rotate towards the corresponding blanking plate 3 direction, and moving through the blanking plate 3 into the corresponding sorting rack 4 to complete the sorting work of the cigarette rod. Then, the drive motor 8 drives the lead screw 9 to rotate in the reverse direction, making the baffle 11 reset and the blanking plate 3 return to the closed state, waiting for the adjustment of the next tobacco sorting work.
