[0038] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0039] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "vertical direction", "up", "down", "horizontal", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. It is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying 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 to the present invention. In addition, "first", "second", "third", "fourth" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0040] In the description of the present invention, it should also be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "set", "installed", "connected", "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection. It can be a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, a direct connection, or a connection through an intermediate medium. It can be the communication inside two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific situations.

[0041] As Figures 1 to 6 shown, it is the cotton swab box feeding track with direction adjustment function of the present invention; as Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown in the figure, the cotton swab box 10 targeted by the present utility model includes a top 11 and a bottom 12; the feeding track of the cotton swab box can transport the cotton swab box 10 and at the same time can flip the cotton swab box 10 to adjust the orientation.

[0042] Specifically, the feeding track of the cotton swab box includes a first transmission track 20 and an adjustment component. Among them, the first transmission track 20 gradually slopes upward along its own transmission direction. The first transmission track 20 includes a discharge end 20a and a feed end 20b. The adjustment component includes a top plate 30 provided below the discharge end 20a; the top plate 30 is an arc-shaped structure, specifically arched obliquely upward along the transmission direction of the first transmission track 20.

[0043] During use, as Figure 6 shown, the first transmission track 20 drives the cotton swab box 10 to move from the feed end 20b to the discharge end 20a. When the cotton swab box 10 moves to the discharge end 20a, due to the inclined setting of the first transmission track 20, there is a height difference, and the cotton swab box 10 will fall at the discharge end 20a; at this time, there is a frictional force between the surface of the first transmission track 20 and the bottom 12 of the cotton swab box 10. Therefore, before the cotton swab box 10 falls, the bottom 12 of the cotton swab box 10 remains in contact with the first transmission track 20, causing the cotton swab box 10 to flip when it falls; at the same time, the side of the cotton swab box 10 will abut against the top plate 30, and finally the top 11 of the cotton swab box 10 faces downward, completing the adjustment of the orientation of the cotton swab box 10.

[0044] Please refer to Figures 1 - 3 , the adjustment component further includes a limiting member 40 provided at the discharge end 20a. The limiting member 40 is flush with the discharge end 20a in height; specifically, the limiting member 40 includes a connecting seat 41 and a flexible brush 42 provided at the lower end of the connecting seat 41; when the cotton swab box 10 falls and flips, it will come into contact with the flexible brush 42, and the flexible brush 42 plays a role in limiting, preventing the cotton swab box 10 from deviating from the normal falling trajectory and ensuring that the cotton swab box 10 can normally complete the adjustment of the orientation. A connecting component is provided on the side of the first transmission track 20. The connecting component includes a support rod 31, a first connecting rod 32, a sliding seat 33, and a second connecting rod 34; the support rod 31 is vertically arranged, one end of the first connecting rod 32 is slidably connected to the support rod 31, and the other end of the first connecting rod 32 is fixedly connected to the top plate 30; the sliding seat 33 is slidably connected to the support rod 31; both ends of the second connecting rod 34 are fixedly connected to the sliding seat 33 and the connecting seat 41 respectively; the relative sliding of the first connecting rod 32 and the support rod 31 can adjust the height of the top plate 30, and the relative sliding of the sliding seat 33 and the support rod 31 can adjust the height of the limiting member 40; it is convenient for adjustment.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 3, two symmetrically distributed side baffles 21 are provided on the upper end surface of the first transfer track 20; further, two symmetrically distributed limit baffles 22 are also provided on the first transfer track 20. The limit baffle 22 includes an integrally formed connecting portion 221 and a limiting portion 222. The connecting portion 221 is used for fixedly connecting with the side baffle 21. After the connection is completed, the limiting portion 222 is located on both sides of the discharge end 20a. Since the first transfer track 20 is inclined, the transfer is unstable. The side baffle 21 can prevent the cotton swab box 10 from detaching from both sides of the first transfer track 20 during the transfer process; while the limit baffle 22 can limit the cotton swab box 10 from moving towards both sides during the falling and flipping process.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in actual production applications, it further includes a horizontally placed second transfer track 50 and a third transfer track 60. The second transfer track 50 is provided on the side of the first transfer track 20, and the third transfer track 60 is provided on the side of the second transfer track 50 and is connected. The discharge end 20a of the first transfer track 20 is connected to the third transfer track 60; and the transfer directions of the first transfer track 20, the second transfer track 50, and the third transfer track 60 are all the same. Specifically, it further includes a guiding assembly. The guiding assembly includes a guiding rod 70 and a connecting block 71; the guiding rod 70 is provided on the upper end surfaces of the second transfer track 50 and the third transfer track 60, and the connecting block 71 is fixed on the second transfer track 50 and a connecting arm extends from one side. One end of the connecting arm is fixedly connected to the guiding rod 70. The guiding rod 70 includes an integrally formed first straight section 72, a connecting section 73, and a second straight section 74; the first straight section 72 is provided on the second transfer track 50 and extends along the transfer direction of the second transfer track 50, and the second straight section 74 is provided on the third transfer track 60 and extends along the transfer direction of the third transfer track 60.

[0047] During use, the cotton swab boxes 10 with their tops 11 all facing upwards enter the first transfer track 20 and the second transfer track 50 respectively; the cotton swab boxes 10 entering the first transfer track 20 will fall from the discharge end 20a and achieve the reversal of the orientation, and then fall into the third transfer track 60. The cotton swab boxes 10 entering the second transfer track 50 move a certain distance and interfere with the connecting section 73 of the guiding rod 70. At this time, the second transfer track 50 continuously provides power, so the cotton swab boxes 10 enter the third transfer track 60 from the second transfer track 50 along the connecting section 73, and the orientation is not reversed during this process. Through the above conveying steps, as shown in the figure, the cotton swab boxes 10 are adjusted from the first state to the second state. In the first state, the orientations of the two cotton swab boxes 10 are the same, and in the second state, the orientations of the two cotton swab boxes 10 are different.

[0048] Further explanation, a first material blocking assembly 80 is provided on the side of the first transfer track 20, and a second material blocking assembly 90 is provided on the side of the second transfer track 50. The structures of the first material blocking assembly 80 and the second material blocking assembly 90 are the same. The first material blocking assembly 80 and the second material blocking assembly 90 are used to block or release the cotton swab box 10. Since the structures of the first material blocking assembly 80 and the second material blocking assembly 90 are the same, the first material blocking assembly 80 will be described hereinafter, and the structure of the second material blocking assembly 90 will not be repeated. The first material blocking assembly 80 includes a connecting support 81 and two material blocking modules symmetrically distributed on the connecting support 81; the material blocking module includes a driving cylinder 82 and a blocking piece 83, and the driving cylinder 82 drives the blocking piece 83 to expand and contract. The blocking piece 83 extends into the first transfer track 20 or the second transfer track 50 to block the cotton swab box 10, thereby controlling the feeding speed of the cotton swab box 10.

[0049] Among them, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, the first transfer track 20 includes a first conveyor belt 23, a driving roller 24, and a first driven roller 25; the driving roller 24 and the first driven roller 25 are arranged inside the first conveyor belt 23, and the driving roller 24 is drivingly connected to a motor to realize the rotation of the first conveyor belt 23. The second transfer track 50 includes a second conveyor belt 51 and a second driven roller 52 arranged inside the second conveyor belt 51, wherein the driving roller 24 extends into the inside of the second conveyor belt to provide power. The third transfer track 60 includes a third conveyor belt 61 and a third driven roller 62 arranged inside the third conveyor belt 61, wherein one end of the second driven roller 52 extends into the inside of the third conveyor belt 61 to provide power.

[0050] Through the above connection method, the motor drives the driving roller 24 to rotate, the driving roller 24 drives the first conveyor belt 23 and the second conveyor belt 51 to rotate, and the second conveyor belt 51 drives the second driven roller 52 to rotate, and the second driven roller 52 drives the third conveyor belt 61 to rotate. Only one motor can be used to drive the first transfer track 20, the second transfer track 50, and the third transfer track 60. At the same time, adopting this transmission structure can ensure that the transmission speeds of the three are the same.

[0051] Compared with the prior art, the feeding track of the cotton swab box with a direction adjustment function according to the present utility model includes a first transmission track 20 for transporting the cotton swab box 10 and a top plate 30 disposed below the discharge end 20a of the first transmission track 20; since the first transmission track 20 is gradually inclined upward along its own transmission direction, when the cotton swab box 10 moves to the discharge end 20a of the first transmission track 20, the cotton swab box 10 drops, and during the dropping process, the cotton swab box 10 is flipped and abuts against the top plate 30 at the same time, realizing the mutual exchange of the top 11 and the bottom 12 of the cotton swab box 10, without the need to flip the cotton swab box 10 manually, reducing the labor cost and improving the shipping efficiency; at the same time, in cooperation with the horizontally arranged second transmission track 50, the cotton swab box 10 can be made to face forward and backward, meeting diverse shipping requirements.

[0052] The above only expresses the preferred technical solution of the present utility model, and its description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present utility model, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and the present utility model also intends to include these changes and modifications.
