[0002] Currently, when researchers study cigarette technology, they often need to punch holes in cigarettes to obtain data on the impact of different ventilation levels on the tar content and smoking experience. Before punching, the cigarette to be punched needs to be moved to the punching device's workstation using a pickup device. However, inconsistent contact positions between the pickup device and the cigarette result in inconsistent placement of the cigarette on the punching device's workstation, leading to a decrease in the punching accuracy. Utility Model Content
[0003] This application provides a cigarette feeding device and a laser drilling device. The positioning component positions the cigarette to be drilled, ensuring that the pickup device and the cigarette are in contact, thereby improving the drilling accuracy of the drilling device.
[0004] The technical solution adopted in this application embodiment is: to provide a cigarette feeding device, including:
[0005] Storage components are used to store materials;
[0006] A feeding component is located below the storage component and is used to remove materials from the storage component.
[0007] The positioning component includes a receiving component and a moving component. The receiving component is provided with a material trough for receiving the material removed by the feeding component. The moving component is throttledly connected to the receiving component to rotate the receiving component so that the material in the material trough abuts against the inner side wall of the material trough to position the material.
[0008] Optionally, the inner wall of the material trough for positioning the material is provided with an adsorption section.
[0009] Optionally, the material trough is equipped with a detection unit to detect whether there is material.
[0010] Optionally, the side wall of the receiving component is provided with a clearance groove for avoiding the picking device.
[0011] Optionally, the positioning component further includes a guide member with a guide ramp, on which the material removed by the feeding component can fall into the material trough of the receiving component along the guide ramp.
[0012] Optionally, one end of the receiving member is hinged to the guide member, and the moving member is connected to the receiving member to drive the receiving member to rotate around the hinged end of the receiving member, so that the material in the receiving member abuts against the inner wall of the material trough.
[0013] Optionally, the positioning component further includes a buffer element for abutting against the receiving element to prevent overshooting of the receiving element.
[0014] Optionally, the storage component includes a hopper and a swinging component. The hopper is located above the feeding component, and a discharge port is provided at the bottom of the hopper. The swinging component is connected to the hopper in a transmission manner to swing the hopper.
[0015] Optionally, the feeding assembly includes a rotating component and a feeding component. The feeding component is provided with a limiting groove.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the cigarette feeding device and laser drilling equipment provided in this application embodiment are as follows: In this application embodiment, the cigarettes are stored in a storage assembly. The feeding assembly moves the cigarettes out of the storage assembly. After the cigarettes fall into the material trough of the receiving component of the positioning assembly, the moving component rotates the receiving component, causing the end of the cigarette to abut against the inner wall of the material trough to position the cigarette. Then, the picking device picks up the positioned cigarette from the material trough and moves it to the working position of the drilling device. The cigarette feeding device in this application embodiment ensures that the contact position between the picking device and the cigarette is consistent, and that the cigarette is consistently placed at the working position of the drilling device, thus improving the drilling accuracy of the drilling device.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

[0033] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cigarette feeding device provided in this application embodiment will now be described. The cigarette feeding device provided in this application embodiment includes a storage component 1, a feeding component 2, and a positioning component 3. The storage component 1 is used to store materials. The feeding component 2 is disposed below the storage component 1 and is used to remove materials from the storage component 1. The positioning component 3 includes a receiving component 31 and a moving component 32. The receiving component 31 is provided with a material trough 311 for receiving materials removed by the feeding component 2. The moving component 32 is tractively connected to the receiving component 31 to rotate the receiving component 31, causing the material in the material trough 311 to abut against the inner wall of the material trough 311, thereby positioning the material.
[0034] The material in this application embodiment can be a cigarette, or other strip-shaped workpieces or workpieces of other shapes to be processed.
[0035] The material storage component 1 can be a material box with a discharge port for material to flow out, and the material is stored in the material box.
[0036] The unloading component 2 can be a robotic arm.
[0037] The feeding assembly 2 may also include a translation drive and a feeding component. The feeding component is provided with a feeding trough, and a telescopic plate is provided at the bottom of the feeding trough. The telescopic plate retracts to expose the feeding port at the bottom of the feeding trough. The translation drive is connected to the feeding component to drive the feeding component to move below the storage assembly 1, so that the feeding trough on the feeding component is opposite to or offset from the feeding port of the storage assembly 1. When the feeding trough on the feeding component is opposite to the feeding port of the storage assembly 1, after the material at the bottom of the storage assembly 1 falls from the feeding port into the feeding trough on the feeding component, the translation drive moves the feeding component to offset the feeding trough on the feeding component from the feeding port into the feeding port of the storage assembly 1. At the same time, the telescopic plate in the feeding trough retracts so that the material in the feeding trough falls from the feeding port onto the receiving component 31 of the positioning assembly 3.
[0038] The moving part 32 of the positioning component 3 can be a rotary motor or a rotary cylinder.
[0039] In this embodiment, the material is stored in the storage component 1. The feeding component 2 removes the material from the storage component 1. After the material falls into the material trough 311 of the receiving component 31 of the positioning component 3, the moving component 32 rotates the receiving component 31 so that the end of the material abuts against the inner wall of the material trough 311 to position the material. Then, the picking device picks up the positioned material from the material trough 311 and moves the material to the working position of the punching device. The cigarette feeding device in this embodiment ensures that the contact position between the picking device and the material is consistent, and that the material is placed in a consistent position on the working position of the punching device, thereby improving the punching accuracy of the punching device.
[0040] In addition, compared with pushing material positioning, the positioning component 3 of this application embodiment can prevent the material from being squeezed and deformed by the pushing component, thereby reducing the damage rate of the material.
[0041] The inner wall of the material trough 311, used for positioning materials, is equipped with an adsorption section.
[0042] The adsorption unit can specifically be a suction cup or suction hole that connects to an external vacuum device. If the material is a magnetically attractable metal, the adsorption unit can also be a magnet.
[0043] The adsorption section can prevent the material from falling out of the feed trough 311 during the rotation of the receiving part 31, and the adsorption section reduces the damage rate of the material.
[0044] The material trough 311 is equipped with a detection unit 312 to detect whether there is material.
[0045] The detection unit 312 can be a pressure sensor or a photoelectric sensor. After the detection unit 312 detects that there is material in the discharge trough 311, it can send a signal to cause the picking device to pick up the material in the trough 311.
[0046] The detection unit 312 can be set at the bottom of the material trough 311, or an additional detection unit 312 can be added to the side wall of the material trough 311 to prevent the detection unit 312 at the bottom of the material trough 311 from failing to detect the material.
[0047] The receiving part 31 has a clearance groove 313 on its side wall for avoiding the picking device.
[0048] The clearance groove 313 can be specifically set as a notch on the side wall of the receiving part 31.
[0049] The positioning component 3 also includes a guide member 33, which is provided with a guide slope 331. The material removed by the feeding component 2 can fall into the material trough 311 of the receiving component 31 along the guide slope 331.
[0050] The guide component 33 can guide the material from the feeding component 2 to the material trough 311 of the receiving component 31, preventing the material from falling into other components and causing the device to malfunction.
[0051] The guide component 33 is vertically positioned between the feeding component 2 and the positioning component 3.
[0052] One end of the receiving component 31 is hinged to the guide component 33, and the moving component 32 is connected to the receiving component 31 to drive the receiving component 31 to rotate around the hinged end of the receiving component 31, so that the material in the receiving component 31 abuts against the inner wall of the material trough 311.
[0053] The moving component 32 can be a linear motor or a cylinder. By lifting one end of the receiving component 31, the moving component 32 causes the material in the material trough 311 to slide towards the other end of the receiving component 31 due to gravity, making the material abut against the inner wall of the material trough 311, thus achieving lateral positioning of the material. Lateral positioning of the material ensures that the contact position between the picking device and the material is consistent, and that the material is placed consistently at the workstation of the punching device, improving the punching accuracy of the punching device.
[0054] Compared to driving the receiving component 31 to rotate via a rotary motor or rotary cylinder, it is less costly to use a linear motor or cylinder to make the receiving component 31 rotate around the hinge end of the receiving component 31.
[0055] The positioning component 3 also includes a buffer 34, which is used to abut against the receiving component 31 to prevent the receiving component 31 from overshooting.
[0056] The buffer 34 can be a spring or a hydraulic buffer. The buffer 34 is installed below the receiving part 31. The buffer 34 can abut against the receiving part 31 after the receiving part 31 is rotated and reset, so as to prevent the receiving part 31 from overshooting.
[0057] The material storage component 1 includes a hopper 11 and a swinging component 12. The hopper 11 is located above the feeding component 2. The bottom of the hopper 11 is provided with a discharge port. The swinging component 12 is connected to the hopper 11 for transmission to swing the hopper 11.
[0058] In this embodiment, materials are stacked in the hopper 11, and only one material is allowed to pass through the discharge port at a time. During the downward movement of the material, it may get stuck, preventing it from exiting the discharge port and affecting the production cycle. The swinging component 12 swings the hopper 11 to prevent materials from getting stuck in the hopper 11, ensuring smooth material flow and meeting the requirements of the production cycle.
[0059] The swinging component 12 can be a linear motor or cylinder that drives the hopper 11 to reciprocate in the horizontal direction.
[0060] The feeding assembly 2 includes a rotating part 21 and a feeding part 22. The feeding part 22 is provided with a limiting groove 221. The rotating part 21 is connected to the feeding part 22 in a transmission connection so that the limiting groove 221 of the feeding part 22 is opposite to or offset from the discharge port at the bottom of the hopper 11.
[0061] The rotating component 21 can be a rotary motor or a rotary cylinder. The feeding component 22 is a roller, with several limiting grooves 221 spaced apart on the outer side wall of the roller. Each limiting groove 221 of the feeding component 22 can only hold one material at a time.
[0062] When the limiting groove 221 on the material feeder 22 is opposite to the discharge port of the storage component 1, the material at the bottom of the hopper 11 falls from the discharge port into the limiting groove 221 on the material feeder 22. Then, the rotating component 21 rotates the material feeder 22 so that the limiting groove 221 on the material feeder 22 is misaligned with the discharge port of the hopper 11. At the same time, the side wall of the material feeder 22 seals the discharge port of the hopper 11. The material in the limiting groove 221 falls along the guide slope 331 of the guide component 33 into the material trough 311 of the receiving component 31.
[0063] A stop block can also be provided above the guide member 33 to prevent material from falling from the limiting groove 221 of the feed member 22.
[0064] Please see Figure 3 This application also provides a laser drilling device, including the above-mentioned cigarette feeding device.
[0065] The laser drilling equipment of this application includes the cigarette feeding device in any of the above embodiments, and therefore has the beneficial effects brought by the cigarette feeding device in any of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.
[0066] The laser drilling equipment may also include a pickup device 4, a rotating device 5, a drilling device 6, and a collecting device 7. The pickup device 4 picks up the material from the cigarette feeding device and moves the material to the rotating device 5. The rotating device 5 selectively rotates the material according to the processing requirements. The drilling device 6 performs drilling or engraving processes on the material on the rotating device 5. After the material is processed, the rotating device 5 rotates and releases the material to the collecting device 7.
