[0025] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model or the prior art, the present utility model will be briefly introduced below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and descriptions of the embodiments or the prior art. Obviously, the following description of the structure of the accompanying drawings is only some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort. It should be noted that the description of these embodiments is used to help understand this utility model, but does not constitute a limitation on this utility model.

[0026] Example:

[0027] As shown in Figures 1-6, this embodiment provides a rod-shaped material feeding and conveying device, including an adjusting baffle assembly 1, a baffle assembly 3, and two sets of guide plate assemblies 2. The adjusting baffle assembly 1, the two sets of guide plate assemblies 2, and the baffle assembly 3 are all fixedly installed on the back plate of the original machine. The two sets of guide plate assemblies 2 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the adjusting baffle assembly 1 with the center line of the adjusting baffle assembly 1 as the origin. The baffle assembly 3 is located directly above the adjusting baffle assembly 1.

[0028] The adjustable baffle assembly 1 includes a cover plate 101 and an adjusting plate 105. The distance between the cover plate 101 and the adjusting plate 105 is adjustable. Two sets of guide plate assemblies 2 and baffle assemblies 3 form two channels for conveying smoke from the smoke supply branch into the adjustable baffle assembly 1. A flexible flow guiding structure is provided at the bottom center of the baffle assembly 3, and the flexible flow guiding structure is directly opposite the outlet of the two channels.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the flexible flow guiding structure is a chain mesh 301, which is fixedly installed between the bottom of the first baffle 302 and the second baffle 306 in a "V" shape.

[0030] Specifically, as shown in Figures 1-2, this device can be adjusted by adjusting the cover plate 101 and the adjusting plate 105 of the baffle assembly 1, thereby achieving flexible online adjustment for different cigarette sticks and filter rod models, effectively improving product changeover efficiency and realizing the online adjustment function of the equipment. At the same time, through structural design, the angle of the guide plate assembly 2 and the adjusting baffle assembly 1 can be flexibly and finely adjusted, thereby flexibly adjusting the flip angle and adapting the size of the transmission channel formed by the two to meet production needs. Furthermore, by setting a flexible flow guiding structure at the bottom of the baffle assembly 3, the orderly downward transmission of cigarette sticks, filter rods, and other rod-shaped objects is effectively guided, while preventing the deformation of cigarette sticks and filter rods due to congestion.

[0031] The above structural design effectively prevents the rod-shaped objects that follow the circular motion of the smoke distribution wheel from being thrown out of the machine platform due to centrifugal force, thus reducing the random movement of the rod-shaped objects.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the adjusting baffle assembly 1 further includes two fixed shafts 104. One end of each fixed shaft 104 is threaded to the original machine back plate in the horizontal direction, and a fixing block 103 is fastened to the other end of each shaft 104 by bolts. The adjusting plate 105 and the cover plate 101 are both placed between the tops of the two fixed shafts 104. Strong magnetic blocks 102 are fixedly installed on both the left and right ends of one side of the cover plate 101. The strong magnetic blocks 102 are magnetically attracted to the fixing blocks 103. A telescopic adjusting assembly 107 and a linear bearing assembly 106 are respectively provided on one side of the adjusting plate 105 near the left and right ends. The adjusting plate 105 is installed to the original machine back plate through the linear bearing assembly 106 and the telescopic adjusting assembly 107. The distance between the adjusting plate 105 and the cover plate 101 is changed by the telescopic adjustment assembly 107.

[0033] Specifically, as shown in Figure 3, by adjusting the telescopic adjustment component 107, the distance between the adjustment plate 105 and the original back panel can be changed, thereby changing the distance between it and the cover plate 101, thus realizing the adjustment of the adjustment baffle assembly 1. At the same time, using the two fixed shafts 104 as the installation base, the cover plate 101 is magnetically attracted to its end, thereby realizing quick installation and disassembly, effectively improving the installation and disassembly efficiency of the device. Furthermore, the cover plate 101 is made of transparent materials such as acrylic, so that the internal condition of the adjustment baffle assembly 1 can be directly observed, and problems can be detected and responded to quickly, thus effectively preventing the situation where the device cannot respond quickly in case of malfunction.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the guide plate assembly 2 further includes a support 203, which is fixedly installed on the original machine back plate. One end of the support 203 is threadedly connected to the connecting shaft 202, and the other end of the connecting shaft 202 is fastened to the fixing lug 204 of the guide plate 201 by bolts.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the guide plate 201 is further bent downward into an arc shape at one end inside the adjusting baffle assembly 1, and the guide plate 201 is inclined toward the center inside the adjusting baffle assembly 1.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the baffle assembly 3 further includes a first baffle 302, a mounting base 305, and a second baffle 306. The mounting base 305 is fixedly mounted on the back plate of the original machine by bolts and is threadedly connected to the threaded end of the rotating shaft 304. One end of the bottom of the first baffle 302 and the second baffle 306 is provided with a mounting ear 303. The other end of the rotating shaft 304 is fastened to the two mounting ears 303 by bolts. The first baffle 302 and the second baffle 306 have an "L" shaped structure, and the longitudinal edge of the "L" shaped structure is raised upward and closely attached to the outer circumferential surface of the smoke separator.

[0037] Specifically, as shown in Figures 4-6, by adjusting the fixing ears 204 of the guide plate 201 and the fastening angles of the two mounting ears 303 of the first baffle 302 and the second baffle 306, the guide plate 201, the first baffle 302, and the second baffle 306 can be quickly and flexibly adjusted to adapt to the online transmission of cigarettes and filter rods. This allows the first baffle 302 and the second baffle 306 to better fit the outer contour of the cigarette distribution wheel to remove the cigarettes and filter rods. Furthermore, by setting trapezoidal forks at the ends of the first baffle 302 and the second baffle 306, they can better fit with the adsorption groove of the cigarette distribution wheel, thereby further improving the feeding efficiency of cigarettes and filter rods and preventing rod leakage.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a sensor assembly 4 is further provided at the bottom center of the adjustment plate 105, and the sensor assembly 4 is electrically connected to the original machine control system.

[0039] Sensor component 4 is electrically connected to the original machine control system to monitor the remaining amount of rod-shaped material in the device in real time. When the sensor does not detect any remaining material, it provides a signal to the original machine control system, which controls the operating speed of the upstream conveying device to ensure that the remaining material in the feeding conveying device is always within a safe storage range.

[0040] The working principle of this rod-shaped material feeding and conveying device is as follows: The rod-shaped material at the bottom of the original smoke-distributing wheel falls onto the guide plate assembly 2 of the feeding and conveying channel. The inclined arc of the guide plate 201 causes the filter rod to fall freely downwards. The trapezoidal fork on the baffle assembly 3 extends into the groove on the surface of the smoke-distributing wheel and makes the baffle tightly fit with the smoke-distributing wheel, smoothly scooping off the rod-shaped material and preventing the rod-shaped material from being thrown out of the smoke-distributing wheel onto the machine platform. The chain mesh 301 on the baffle assembly 3 flexibly organizes the rod-shaped material tilting down from the guide plate 201, so that the rod-shaped material is conveyed downwards in an orderly and neat manner.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
