[0029] This application provides a material tray, including a base plate 10, a baffle 30, and three side plates 20. The three side plates 20 are installed end to end on the periphery of the base plate 10. The base plate 10 and the three side plates 20 form a storage space 40 for placing a packaging box 60 containing filter rods 70. The packaging box 60 is interference-fitted with the opposite two side plates 20. The baffle 30 is detachably installed on the remaining side of the periphery of the base plate 10 and can be detached along the width direction of the adjacent side plates 20.

[0030] In this embodiment, the base plate 10 is connected to three side plates 20, which are respectively disposed on the periphery of the base plate 10, and the three side plates 20 are connected end to end, as shown in the figure. Figures 1 to 3 The base plate 10 has one remaining side for the detachable installation of a baffle 30. The baffle 30 can be detached along the width of the adjacent side plate 20. In other words, the baffle 30 in the aforementioned tray can be pulled out along the width of the adjacent side plate 20, thus achieving detachment from the front of the storage space 40. This avoids using the side space of the unloading platform, solving the problem of limited side space preventing unloading, and making the application more flexible.

[0031] In this embodiment, the storage space 40 of the material tray can hold a filter rod 70 with a packaging box 60. The packaging box 60 is interference-fitted with the two opposite side plates 20 to hold the packaging box 60 in place, preventing the packaging box 60 from falling off when the filter rod 70 is released. The two opposite side plates 20 are the two side plates 20 adjacent to the baffle 30. The size of the material tray can be designed according to the size of the packaging box 60. The two side plates 20 adjacent to the baffle 30 can hold the packaging box 60 in place by interference-fitting it, see reference. Figure 4 The baffle 30 temporarily separates the packaging box 60 to prevent the filter rods 70 from falling out of the tray. When the tray is transported to the unloading platform, pulling out the baffle 30 along the width of the side plate 20 releases the filter rods 70 into the equipment hopper. Figure 5 .

[0032] In some embodiments, slots 50 are formed on the top of the two side plates 20 adjacent to the baffle 30. The baffle 30 is inserted into or removed from the slots 50 to move closer to or further away from the base plate 10. In this embodiment, slots 50 are provided on the top of the two side plates 20 adjacent to the baffle 30. The baffle 30 can be inserted into the slots 50, thereby being installed on one side of the base plate 10. During the movement of the tray, the baffle 30 is installed in the slots 50 to prevent it from falling off during the movement of the tray. The baffle 30 and the three side plates 20 can prevent the filter rod 70 from falling out of the tray.

[0033] Furthermore, the slot 50 has an opening facing away from the base plate 10. In this embodiment, when the baffle 30 is installed in the form of the slot 50, the opening of the slot 50 faces the direction opposite to the base plate 10, so that the baffle 30 can be pulled out along the width direction of the adjacent side plate 20, thereby realizing disassembly from the front of the storage space 40.

[0034] Furthermore, the length of the slot 50 along the width direction of the side plate 20 is less than the width of the baffle 30. In this embodiment, the width of the baffle 30 is greater than the length of the slot 50 along the width direction of the side plate 20. When the baffle 30 is inserted into the slot 50, part of the baffle 30 will protrude outside the side plate 20, making it easy to remove the baffle 30 after it is placed in the packaging box 60.

[0035] Furthermore, the length of the baffle 30 is greater than the length of the side plate 20 opposite to the baffle 30. In this embodiment, the length of the baffle 30 is set to extend beyond the two adjacent side plates 20 to prevent the baffle 30 from falling off during the material tray transportation process.

[0036] In some embodiments, a plurality of first through holes 12 are formed on the base plate 10, and the plurality of first through holes 12 are evenly distributed on the base plate 10. In the embodiments of this application, providing a plurality of first through holes 12 on the base plate 10 and distributing them evenly can reduce the weight of the base plate 10 while maintaining the balance of the base plate 10.

[0037] Furthermore, the base plate 10 includes a first body and a first rib 11, with the first rib 11 disposed on the side of the first body away from the storage space 40. In this embodiment, the first rib 11 is disposed on the back side of the base plate 10, which can ensure the strength of the base plate 10 based on the first through hole 12.

[0038] In some embodiments, the side plate 20 includes a second body and a second rib 21, with the second rib 21 disposed on the side of the second body away from the storage space 40. In this embodiment, the second rib 21 is provided on the back of the side plate 20, which can increase the strength of the side plate 20 and is also used to snap onto the bracket of the unloading platform to fix the material tray.

[0039] In the use of the material tray in this embodiment, the filter rods 70 are packaged and transported using the packaging box 60. The packaging box 60 has an opening, meaning that five sides of the packaging box 60 have a paper structure. After being filled with the filter rods 70, the packaging box 60 is placed upright on the table with the opening facing forward. Figure 6 As shown. Because the tray is inverted during unloading, the filter rod 70 needs to be unloaded from the top of the packaging box 60. Figure 6When in the correct state, the top paper structure of the packaging box 60 needs to be removed. Then, the entire packaging box 60 is inserted into the storage space 40 of the material tray. After filling, the top surface of the packaging box 60 should not be higher than the slot 50. Then, the baffle 30 is inserted into the slot 50. Both ends of the baffle 30 in the length direction need to extend a certain distance beyond the slot 50 to prevent the baffle 30 from falling off. Finally, the material tray is placed upside down on the unloading platform. The two side plates 20 adjacent to the baffle 30 are respectively locked onto the brackets of the unloading platform. The baffle 30 is pulled out from the front of the material tray. The packaging box 60 is locked in its original position due to the interference fit with the side plates 20 of the material tray. The filter rod 70 inside the packaging box 60 falls downward into the hopper of the equipment to complete the feeding.

[0040] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
