[0002] The "water cup" fastener is a functional component added to the filter rod. It's conical (or cup-shaped) and contains a sealed liquid. By squeezing the fastener, the liquid soaks into the filter rod's filaments, filtering out most of the tar, carbon monoxide, and other particulate matter produced during smoking. This reduces the harmful effects of smoke on smokers and improves the smoking experience.

[0003] During production, the "cup" hardware and filter rods need to be arranged in a cup-filter rod arrangement. In the prior art, filter rod compounding equipment is usually used to transport the cup and filter rods. During the transportation process, the cup and filter rods are sent to different positions on the same turntable, thereby compounding the cup and filter rod arrangement.

[0004] However, existing filter rod bonding equipment is vertical and can only be used to bond vertically transported cups, failing to meet the needs of bonding horizontally transported cups. Therefore, the applicant has designed a device that can bond horizontally transported cups to filter rods. In this type of equipment, ensuring that a horizontally transported cup fits stably into the vertical transfer tray is crucial for ensuring successful bonding between the cup and filter rod.

[0040] The utility model provides a firmware adapter tray, which includes an adapter tray body and a receiving portion arranged on the outer periphery of the adapter tray body; along the axial direction of the adapter tray body, the receiving portion includes a blocking plate located on the outside and two toggle teeth located on the inside; the two toggle teeth are spaced apart from each other along the circumference of the adapter tray body to form a firmware accommodating space for accommodating firmware; the blocking plate blocks the outside of the accommodating space to block the firmware. The firmware adapter tray is provided with the blocking plate in the receiving portion. When receiving the firmware horizontally transported from the upstream device, the blocking plate can block and limit the firmware to prevent the firmware from falling directly from the firmware adapter tray during the transfer process, thereby ensuring that the firmware can stably flow into the firmware accommodating space, allowing the firmware adapter tray to stably receive the firmware.

[0041] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 In one embodiment, a fixture adapter plate 100 is provided for receiving a fixture 200 horizontally transported from an upstream device. Specifically, in one embodiment, the fixture 200 is a "water cup" fixture used in a filter rod.

[0042] The firmware adapter plate 100 includes an adapter plate body 10 and a receiving portion 20 arranged on the periphery of the adapter plate body 10. The adapter plate body 10 is mainly used to connect with the driving structure, thereby driving the firmware adapter plate 100 to rotate through the driving structure. The receiving portion 20 is mainly used to receive and transport the firmware 200.

[0043] Along the axial direction of the adapter plate body 10, the receiving portion 20 includes a blocking plate 21 located on the outside and two toggle teeth 22 located on the inside. The inside and outside refer to the relative positions between the two components, and both the inside and outside are based on the position of the upstream conveying equipment. That is to say, after the firmware adapter plate 100 is installed, the toggle teeth 22 are located on the side relatively close to the upstream conveying equipment, while the blocking plate 21 is located on the side relatively far away from the upstream conveying equipment. The two toggle teeth 22 are spaced apart from each other along the circumference of the adapter plate body 10 to form a firmware accommodating space 23 for accommodating the firmware 200. The blocking plate 21 blocks the outside of the accommodating space 23 to block the firmware 200.

[0044] When the firmware transfer tray 100 receives the firmware 200, the firmware 200 falls into the firmware accommodation space 23 between the two toggle teeth 22, and the blocking plate 21 can block the firmware 200 on the outside to prevent the firmware 200 from falling out of the accommodation space 23 during the transfer process, thereby ensuring that the firmware transfer tray 100 stably receives the firmware 200 into the firmware accommodation space 23. As the firmware transfer tray 100 rotates, the toggle teeth 22 can synchronously drive the firmware 200 to move, thereby achieving the reception and steering of the firmware 200.

[0045] Preferably, in one embodiment, the adapter disc body 10 includes a central portion 11 and a peripheral portion 12 arranged on the periphery of the central portion 11. Along the axial direction of the adapter disc body 10, the peripheral portion 12 includes an outer disc 121 located on the outside and an inner disc 122 located on the inside. And along the axial direction of the adapter disc body 10, the outer disc 121 and the inner disc 122 are spaced apart from each other. The shifting tooth 22 is located on the periphery of the inner disc 122, and the blocking plate 21 is located on the periphery of the outer disc 121. Since the outer disc 121 and the inner disc 122 are spaced apart from each other in the axial direction, the blocking plate 21 and the shifting tooth 22 are also spaced apart from each other in the axial direction. Through this structure, when receiving the firmware 200, a portion of the firmware 200 can fall into the area between the outer disk 121 and the inner disk 122, so as to better prevent the firmware 200 from falling from the inner side of the adapter disk body 10, allowing the firmware adapter disk 100 to transport the firmware 200 more stably.

[0046] It is understandable that due to the small diameter of the "water cup" fixture, it is very easy to tip over during the transfer and transportation process. Preferably, in one embodiment, an inclined surface 1221 is provided on the outer periphery of the inner disk 122 close to the side of the outer disk 121, and the inclined surface 1221 is tilted inward. The setting of the inclined surface 1221 can guide the fixture 200 and guide the fixture 200 to fall between the outer disk 121 and the inner disk 122. At the same time, the inclined surface 1221 can also limit the position of the fixture 200 to a certain extent, so that the position of the fixture 200 is more stable during the transfer and transportation process, and the fixture 200 is prevented from tipping over.

[0047] Preferably, in one embodiment, a plurality of receiving portions 20 are sequentially spaced apart along the circumference of the adapter plate body 10. By providing a plurality of receiving portions 20, the efficiency of transferring and conveying the hardware 200 can be further improved.

[0048] Preferably, in one embodiment, a filter rod accommodating space 30 for accommodating a filter rod is formed between two adjacent receiving portions 20 along the circumference of the adapter tray body 10. That is, in this embodiment, the fixture adapter tray 100 is not only used to transfer and transport the fixtures 200, but also to transfer and transport the filter rods. The fixture adapter tray 100 can be used to arrange the fixtures 200 and the filter rods in sequence.

[0049] Preferably, in one embodiment, along the circumference of the adapter tray body 10, the length of the blocking plate 21 is not less than the distance between the two shifting teeth 22. In other words, in this embodiment, the blocking plate 21 can completely block the firmware accommodating space 23 along the circumference, ensuring comprehensive shielding, thereby further ensuring that the firmware 200 is in a desired position in the firmware adapter tray 100.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 At the same time, in one embodiment, a filter rod composite device 1000 is also provided, which includes a turntable 300, a filter rod conveying tray 400 and the firmware adapter tray 100. The turntable 300 is arranged in the horizontal direction to convey the firmware 200. The firmware adapter tray 100 is arranged in the vertical direction and is arranged corresponding to the discharge position of the turntable 300 to receive the firmware 200 sent out by the turntable 300. The filter rod conveying tray 400 is arranged in the vertical direction to convey filter rods. When the filter rod composite device 1000 is in operation, the turntable 300 outputs the firmware 200 one by one in the horizontal direction, and the firmware adapter tray 100 receives the firmware 200 sent out from the turntable 300, and then drives the firmware 200 to move accordingly through the rotation of the firmware adapter tray 100.

[0051] Preferably, in one embodiment, the fixture adapter tray 100 is also used to receive filter rods delivered by the filter rod delivery tray 400. That is, in this embodiment, the filter rod compounding device 1000 specifically utilizes the fixture adapter tray 100 to achieve the arrangement and compounding of the fixtures 200 and the filter rods. The fixture adapter tray 100 is not only used to transfer and deliver the fixtures 200, but also to receive and deliver the filter rods, thereby enabling the arrangement and compounding of the fixtures 200 and the filter rods.

[0052] Preferably, in one embodiment, the firmware adapter plate 100 has a first docking position 101 and a second docking position 102, and the first docking position 101 and the second docking position 102 are sequentially arranged along the rotation direction of the firmware adapter plate 100. The first docking position 101 corresponds to the discharge position of the turntable 300, so that when the firmware accommodating space 23 on the firmware adapter plate 100 rotates to this position, the firmware accommodating space 23 can correspondingly receive the firmware 200 delivered by the turntable 300. The second docking position 102 corresponds to the discharge position of the filter rod conveying plate 400, so that when the filter rod accommodating space 30 on the firmware adapter plate 100 rotates to this position, the filter rod accommodating space 30 can correspondingly receive the filter rod delivered by the filter rod conveying plate 400. For example, Figure 5 As shown, the firmware adapter disk 100 rotates clockwise under the drive of the driving structure (which can be a motor), and when the firmware accommodating space 23 on the firmware adapter disk 100 rotates to the first docking position 101, the turntable 300 sends the firmware 200 horizontally, so that the firmware accommodating space 23 on the firmware adapter disk 100 corresponds to the sent firmware 200; the firmware adapter disk 100 continues to rotate, and when the filter rod accommodating space 30 on the firmware adapter disk 100 rotates to the second docking position 102, the filter rod conveying disk 400 sends the filter rod into the filter rod accommodating space 30, so that the firmware 200 and filter rods are arranged in sequence along the circumference of the firmware adapter disk 100; then the firmware adapter disk 100 continues to rotate, so that the firmware 200 and filter rods are sent to the downstream equipment in sequence at the adapter disk discharge position 103.

[0053] The above is only an embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that those skilled in the art can make improvements without departing from the inventive concept of the present invention, but these improvements are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
