[0002] The filter material in cigarette holders can filter out harmful substances such as tar, nicotine, and carbon monoxide from cigarettes, reducing the harm of smoking to the human body. The filter material in cigarette holders can also absorb impurities and odors in cigarettes, improving the taste of cigarettes. Some high-end cigarette holders can further improve the taste of cigarettes by adjusting airflow and smoke concentration.

[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent with publication number CN220274871U that discloses a cigarette machine filter recycling device. By activating the ejector cylinder, the ejector plate can be moved left and right, thereby ejecting the filter located inside the ejector plate. When the filter passes through the infrared sensor, it will be detected by the infrared sensor. Then, when the filter is detected to be damaged, the electric push rod will be activated, and the filter will move down through the sliding hole and fall into the collection box at the bottom of the baffle for filter recycling.

[0004] However, the cigarette filter recycling device mentioned above can only perform simple detection of the filter using an infrared sensor, and cannot perform comprehensive detection of the filter. This results in poor filter screening effect, which affects the quality of the cigarettes after subsequent processing. Therefore, a new solution is needed to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

[0005] The aforementioned background technology addresses the issue that existing technologies have poor filter screening performance, which leads to insufficient quality and defects in the subsequent processing of cigarettes.

An automatic cigarette machine body is provided on one side of the filter box. Mounting brackets are provided on both the upper and lower surfaces of the filter box. A vision sensor and an infrared sensor are respectively provided on the two mounting brackets. A pushing mechanism is provided on one side of the mounting brackets.

[0007] Furthermore, a conveyor belt is rotatably mounted on the mounting frame, a servo motor is provided at the power end of the conveyor belt, and the surface of the conveyor belt is frosted.

[0008] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism includes a push rod, one end of which is slidably disposed with the filter box, and the other end of which is equipped with a connecting plate. The connecting plate is slidably mounted on the base, and the connecting plate and the base are connected by a multi-stage telescopic rod.

[0009] Furthermore, the discharge end of the filter cartridge box is provided with two baffles, which are slidably disposed with the filter cartridge box. A bidirectional threaded rod is provided between the two baffles. The bidirectional threaded rod is rotatably mounted on the filter cartridge box via a support frame. A servo motor is provided at the power end of the bidirectional threaded rod.

[0010] Furthermore, the filter cartridge box is inclined, the upper end of the filter cartridge box is conical, and the lower end of the filter cartridge box is flat.

[0011] Furthermore, a collection box is provided on the side of the filter box away from the pushing mechanism, and the collection box is snapped into the base.

[0012] Furthermore, an electric telescopic rod is provided on the side of the filter box away from the main body of the automatic cigarette rolling machine. The fixed end of the electric telescopic rod is mounted on the base through a fixing plate, and the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod passes through the filter box.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. This utility model is equipped with components such as a vision sensor, an infrared sensor, and a conveyor belt. During operation, the vision sensor and the infrared sensor work together to improve the detection effect of the filter tip. The conveyor belt drives the filter tip to rotate, thereby achieving omnidirectional rotation and screening the filter tip to avoid affecting the quality of subsequent cigarettes. Through the cooperation of the connecting plate component, the push rod component, and the multi-stage telescopic rod component, defective filter tips can be automatically pushed out of the filter tip box.

[0015] 2. This utility model is equipped with components such as a bidirectional threaded rod, baffles, and support frames. During operation, the bidirectional threaded rod, baffles, and support frames work together. The operator controls the rotation of the bidirectional threaded rod, which drives the two baffles to move relative to each other, so that the two baffles alternately block the cigarettes and prevent them from falling out of the filter box automatically. The fixed plate and the electric telescopic rod work together to push the filter inside the filter box to move automatically. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The following illustrations will reveal several embodiments of the present invention. For clarity, many physical details will be described in the following description. However, it should be understood that these physical details should not be used to limit the present invention. That is, in some embodiments of the present invention, these physical details are not essential. Furthermore, for the sake of simplicity, some conventional structures and components will be shown in a simple schematic manner in the illustrations.

[0023] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 The present invention relates to a cigarette machine filter recycling device, comprising a base 1, on which a filter box 2 is mounted. An automatic cigarette machine body 3 is mounted on one side of the filter box 2. Mounting brackets 4 are mounted on both the upper and lower ends of the filter box 2. A vision sensor 5 and an infrared sensor 6 are respectively mounted on the two mounting brackets 4. A pushing mechanism is mounted on one side of the mounting brackets 4. The filter box 2 guides the movement direction of the filter, and the vision sensor 5 and the infrared sensor 6 cooperate to detect the filter. When a defect is detected in the filter, the pushing mechanism pushes the filter out, thereby realizing the recycling of the filter.

[0024] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, a conveyor belt 7 is rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 4. A servo motor is installed at the power end of the conveyor belt 7. The surface of the conveyor belt 7 is frosted. During the inspection process, the servo motor drives the conveyor belt 7 to rotate, and the conveyor belt 7 drives the filter to rotate, thereby facilitating the visual sensor 5 and the infrared sensor 6 to perform all-round inspection of the filter, thereby improving the inspection effect and ensuring the quality of the processed cigarettes.

[0025] like Figure 1 , Figure 4As shown, the pushing mechanism includes a push rod 15. One end of the push rod 15 is slidably disposed with the filter cartridge box 2, and the other end of the push rod 15 is equipped with a connecting plate 16. The connecting plate 16 is slidably mounted on the base 1, and the connecting plate 16 and the base 1 are connected by a multi-stage telescopic rod 14. When a quality problem is detected in the filter cartridge, the multi-stage telescopic rod 14 retracts, drives the connecting plate 16 to move, and the connecting plate 16 drives the push rod 15 to move. The push rod 15 automatically pushes out the problematic filter cartridge in the filter cartridge box 2, reducing the labor intensity of the workers.

[0026] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 The filter box 2 has two baffles 9 at its discharge end, which are slidably mounted on the filter box 2. A bidirectional threaded rod 11 is provided between the two baffles 9. The bidirectional threaded rod 11 is rotatably mounted on the filter box 2 via a support frame 10. A servo motor is provided at the power end of the bidirectional threaded rod 11. The servo motor drives the bidirectional threaded rod 11 to rotate, and the bidirectional threaded rod 11 drives the two baffles 9 to move relative to each other, so that the two baffles 9 move up and down alternately. This can restrict one filter between the two baffles 9 and block the other filters, making it convenient for the automatic cigarette rolling machine body 3 to work.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment, the filter box 2 is tilted to guide the movement direction of the filter. The upper end of the filter box 2 is tapered to facilitate the collection of the filter. The lower end of the filter box 2 is flat so that only one filter can pass through at a time, which facilitates the subsequent all-round detection of the filter by the visual sensor 5 and the infrared sensor 6.

[0028] like Figure 4 As shown, a collection box 8 is provided on the side of the filter box 2 away from the pushing mechanism. When the filter is pushed out of the filter box 2, it automatically falls into the collection box 8, thereby realizing automatic collection, avoiding the filter from scattering, and improving the convenience of collection for the staff. The collection box 8 is snapped into the base 1 to fix the collection box 8 and prevent the collection box 8 from shaking during operation.

[0029] Looking back Figure 1 As shown, an electric telescopic rod 13 is provided on the side of the filter box 2 away from the automatic cigarette rolling machine body 3. The fixed end of the electric telescopic rod 13 is installed on the base 1 through the fixing plate 12. The telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 13 passes through the filter box 2. When the filter moves to the designated position of the automatic cigarette rolling machine body 3, the electric telescopic rod 13 drives the filter to move and move with the automatic cigarette rolling machine body 3, and automatically pushes the tobacco into the cigarette paper through the automatic cigarette rolling machine body 3.
