[0039] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the embodiment of the present invention discloses a bead filter rod diversion device, comprising: a conveying mechanism (not shown in the figure), a receiving tank 1, a first blowing assembly 2 and a second blowing assembly 5. The conveying mechanism is used to convey the bead filter rod. Figure 1 , the receiving groove 1 is along the first direction (such as Figure 1 The receiving groove 1 is arranged downstream of the conveying mechanism along the first direction, and is used to receive the filter rod output by the conveying mechanism. Specifically, the cross section of the receiving groove 1 can be an inverted trapezoid or approximately semicircular to improve the adaptability to the contour of the filter rod. The first blowing component 2 extends along the width direction of the receiving groove 1 (denoted as the second direction, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 The first blowing assembly 2 includes a plurality of first blowing holes 3 arranged along the first direction. The first blowing assembly 2 is used to blow the bead filter rod in the receiving tank 1 into the first collecting area outside the receiving tank 1 (as shown in the Y direction). Figure 1 Specifically, the diameter of the first blowing hole 3 is 1 mm, the number of the first blowing holes 3 is 11, and the distance between two adjacent first blowing holes 3 is 10 mm. Figure 2 The second blowing assembly 5 is arranged on the other side of the receiving groove 1 along the width direction of the receiving groove 1. The second blowing assembly 5 includes a plurality of second blowing holes 6 arranged along the first direction. The second blowing assembly 5 blows the bead filter rod in the receiving groove 1 into the second collecting area outside the receiving groove 1 (such as Figure 2 (shown in the middle area B). Similarly, the diameter of the second air blowing holes 6 is 1 mm, the number of the second air blowing holes 6 is 11, and the spacing between two adjacent second air blowing holes 6 is 10 mm. During use, positive pressure gas is passed through the first air blowing holes 3 and the second air blowing holes 6. The air pressure of the positive pressure gas is sufficient to blow the filter rods to the first collection area or the second collection area. In this embodiment, the first collection area can be used to collect qualified filter rods, and the second collection area can be used to collect unqualified filter rods. In other embodiments, the first collection area can be used to collect unqualified filter rods, and the second collection area can be used to collect qualified filter rods.

[0041] With the above technical solution, after the filter rod is inspected, if the popping beads in the filter rod are qualified, the first blowing assembly 2 blows the filter rod in the receiving groove 1 into the first collection area. If the popping beads in the filter rod are unqualified, the second blowing assembly 5 blows the filter rod in the receiving groove 1 into the first collection area, thereby achieving contactless filter rod transportation and diversion, effectively avoiding mechanical contact, thus preventing damage to the popping beads and improving the qualified rate of the finished product.

[0042] Alternatively, as Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the bursting bead filter rod diversion device disclosed in the present application also includes a first blocking member 8, which is arranged above the first collection area. The first blocking member 8 is used to prevent the bursting bead filter rod from being blown into an area outside the first collection area to prevent the filter rod from splashing, thereby facilitating subsequent centralized processing.

[0043] Alternatively, as Figure 3 As shown, the first blocking member 8 includes a first inclined surface 9 and a second inclined surface 10 that are connected to each other, wherein the first inclined surface 9 is close to the receiving groove 1, and the second inclined surface 10 is away from the receiving groove 1. The height of the first inclined surface 9 gradually increases from one end close to the receiving groove 1 to the end away from the receiving groove 1, and the height of the second inclined surface 10 gradually decreases from one end close to the receiving groove 1 to the end away from the receiving groove 1.

[0044] By adopting the above technical solution, the first inclined surface 9 and the second inclined surface 10 form an inverted V-shaped cavity. When the filter rod is blown to the top of the first collection area by the first blowing assembly 2, the shape of the inverted V-shaped cavity is similar to the movement trajectory of the filter rod, so it can block the filter rod in the air and prevent the filter rod from moving to an area outside the first collection area.

[0045] Alternatively, as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the bead filter rod diversion device further includes a second blocking member 11, which is arranged in the vertical direction (such as Figure 3 The second blocking member 11 is symmetrically arranged above the second collecting area with the first blocking member 8 (as shown in the Z direction), and is used to prevent the bead filter rod from being blown into the area outside the second collecting area.

[0046] Further, such as Figure 3 As shown, the second blocking member 11 includes a third inclined surface 12 and a fourth inclined surface 13 connected to each other, wherein the third inclined surface 12 is close to the receiving groove 1, and the fourth inclined surface 13 is away from the receiving groove 1. The height of the third inclined surface 12 gradually increases from one end close to the receiving groove 1 to the end away from the receiving groove 1, and the height of the fourth inclined surface 13 gradually decreases from one end close to the receiving groove 1 to the end away from the receiving groove 1.

[0047] By adopting the above technical solution, the third inclined surface 12 and the fourth inclined surface 13 form an inverted V-shaped cavity. When the filter rod is blown to the top of the second collection area by the second blowing assembly 5, the shape of the inverted V-shaped cavity is similar to the movement trajectory of the filter rod, so it can block the filter rod in the air and prevent the filter rod from moving to an area outside the second collection area.

[0048] Alternatively, as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, each first blowing hole 3 is arranged at equal intervals along the first direction on the inner wall of the receiving tank 1 near the second collection area. Specifically, the angle between the blowing direction of each first blowing hole 3 and the second direction is 45°. Similarly, each second blowing hole 6 is arranged at equal intervals along the first direction on the inner wall of the receiving tank 1 near the first collection area, and the angle between the blowing direction of each second blowing hole 6 and the second direction is 45°. The applicant has discovered through exploration that when the blowing direction of the first blowing holes 3 and the blowing direction of the second blowing holes 6 are at an angle of 45° to the second direction, the filter rod in the receiving tank 1 can be easily blown up, and the filter rod is more likely to fall into the corresponding collection area.

[0049] Optionally, the bead filter rod diversion device also includes: an air source, a main pipeline, a first air inlet pipe, a second air inlet pipe, a first control valve and a second control valve (all not shown in the above figures). Wherein, the air pressure of the air source is 0.8MPa. The first end of the main pipeline is connected to the air source. The first end of the first air inlet pipe is connected to the second end of the main pipeline, and the second end of the first air inlet pipe is connected to each first blowing hole 3, and positive pressure gas can enter the first blowing hole 3 through the first air inlet pipe. The first end of the second air inlet pipe is connected to the second end of the main pipeline, and the second end of the second air inlet pipe is connected to each second blowing hole 6, and positive pressure gas can enter the second blowing hole 6 through the second air inlet pipe. The first control valve is provided on the first air inlet pipe, and the first control valve is used to control the opening and closing of the first air inlet pipe. The second control valve is provided on the second air inlet pipe, and the second control valve is used to control the opening and closing of the second air inlet pipe. Furthermore, a pressure regulating valve is provided on the main pipeline, and the pressure regulating valve is used to adjust the size of the air flow in the main pipeline, and then adjust the pressure of the gas in the first blowing hole 3 and the second blowing hole 6.

[0050] Optionally, the first control valve and the second control valve are both electrically controlled valves, and the bead filter rod diversion device further includes a detection mechanism and a control system (both not shown in the figure). The detection mechanism is disposed between the conveying mechanism and the receiving tank 1, and is used to detect whether the bead filter rods output by the conveying mechanism are qualified. The control system is electrically connected to the detection mechanism, the first control valve, and the second control valve. The control system receives signals from the detection mechanism and controls the first control valve and the second control valve to open or close according to the signals sent by the detection mechanism.

[0051] Specifically, when the detection mechanism detects that the burst bead filter rod is qualified, the control system controls the second control valve to open, so that the positive pressure gas enters the first blowing hole 3 through the first air inlet pipe, and then blows the filter rod in the receiving tank 1 to move into the first collection area. When the detection mechanism detects that the burst bead filter rod is unqualified, the control system controls the first control valve to close and controls the second control valve to open, so that the positive pressure gas enters the second blowing hole 6 through the second air inlet pipe, and then blows the filter rod in the receiving tank 1 to move into the second collection area, thereby blowing the qualified and unqualified filter rods into different collection areas respectively, realizing the diversion and classified collection of the filter rods.

[0052] Alternatively, as Figure 1 As shown, the burst filter rod diversion device also includes a first collection box 14 and a second collection box 15. First collection box 14 is located in the first collection area and is used to collect burst filter rods in the first collection area. Second collection box 15 is located in the second collection area and is used to collect burst filter rods in the second collection area. By placing the filter rods uniformly in the collection box, centralized management is facilitated.

[0053] The utility model discloses a bursting bead filter rod diversion device, wherein the first blowing component 2 and the second blowing component 5 can respectively blow the bursting bead filter rods to different collection areas, thereby realizing contactless filter rod transportation and diversion, effectively avoiding mechanical contact, thereby not causing damage to the bursting beads, and greatly improving the qualified rate of finished products.

[0054] Although the present invention has been illustrated and described with reference to certain preferred embodiments of the present invention, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the above description is provided to further illustrate the present invention in conjunction with specific embodiments, and that the present invention should not be construed as being limited to these descriptions.
