The elevator's inlet is connected to the unloading machine's outlet, and the conveyor's inlet is connected to the elevator's outlet. The conveyor is used to transport the core rods to the top of the laminating machine. The material distribution machine includes a housing and a distribution block. The housing is located at the top of the laminating machine, with its inlet connected to the conveyor's outlet and its outlet connected to the laminating machine. The distribution block is located inside the housing. First, the unloading machine unloads the core rods from the cardboard box, and the core rods enter the elevator. Then, under the action of the elevator, the core rods are lifted vertically to the same height as the top of the laminating machine. Subsequently, the core rods are smoothly and horizontally conveyed by the conveyor to the material distribution machine. Finally, after impacting the distribution block, the core rods are dispersed into two streams and decelerated. The core rods fall smoothly into the receiving mold of the laminating machine at a low speed and with minimal pressure, completing the automatic feeding process. This system enables fully automated conveying of mandrels from the ground to the top of the laminating machine, completely replacing the original manual operation mode. No manual intervention is required; only batch box changing operations on the ground are needed, greatly reducing labor intensity and safety hazards. Simultaneously, the diversion effect of the material discharge diverter effectively reduces the mutual pressure and collisions of the mandrels during their descent, significantly lowering the breakage rate.

[0035] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, this embodiment provides a mandrel conveying device for a filter rod laminating machine, used to convey mandrels to the top of the laminating machine 100. The mandrel conveying device includes a mandrel unloading machine 1, an elevator 2, a conveyor 3, and a material diverter 4. The mandrel unloading machine 1 unloads the mandrels. The inlet of the elevator 2 is connected to the outlet of the mandrel unloading machine 1, and the elevator 2 is used to lift the mandrels vertically. The inlet of the conveyor 3 is connected to the outlet of the elevator 2, and the conveyor 3 is used to convey the mandrels to the top of the laminating machine 100. The material diverter 4 includes a housing 41 and a diverter block. The housing 41 is located at the top of the laminating machine 100, its inlet is connected to the outlet of the conveyor 3, and its outlet is connected to the laminating machine 100. The diverter block is located inside the housing 41 and is used for diverting the mandrels.

[0037] For example, in the production and logistics of cigarette filter rods, the rods are typically neatly arranged in dedicated cardboard boxes for transfer and temporary storage. The boxes filled with rods are then placed in designated locations manually or by automated carts. The filter rod laminating machine features a compact and rationally laid-out rod conveying system.

[0038] The core rod unloading machine 1 is located at the end of the cigarette filter rod production and logistics process. It is a key component of the cigarette filter rod forming unit and is used to temporarily store and automatically unload the core rods in the carton. Through mechanical pushing, grabbing and flipping actions, the core rods are unloaded from the carton and enter the elevator 2.

[0039] The elevator 2 is located beside the mandrel unloading machine 1. The inlet of the elevator 2 is connected to the outlet of the mandrel unloading machine 1, and the outlet of the elevator 2 is connected to the inlet of the conveyor 3. The elevator 2 is driven by a motor, and the steel wire rope and the mandrel being transported move up and down to complete the transportation process. The lifting speed can be adjusted by the speed of the motor, lifting the mandrel to the same height as the top of the laminating machine 100.

[0040] The conveyor 3 is a belt conveyor 3. The conveyor 3 is connected between the discharge port of the elevator 2 and the inlet of the discharge diverter 4. The conveyor 3 is equipped with a belt, and the running speed of the belt can be adjusted. The conveyor 3 horizontally transports the mandrel lifted by the elevator 2 to the discharge diverter 4.

[0041] The material feeding and diverting machine 4 includes a housing 41 and a diverting block fixedly disposed within the housing 41. The housing 41 is mounted on the top of the laminating machine 100 via a bracket. The housing 41 has an inlet and an outlet, which are respectively connected to the outlet end of the conveyor 3 and the laminating machine 100. The mandrel enters the housing 41 via the conveyor 3. Under the action of the diverting block, the mandrel impacts the diverting block and is dispersed into two streams, left and right, and decelerated. Subsequently, the mandrel falls smoothly into the receiving mold of the laminating machine 100 at a low speed and with relatively small pressure between them, completing the automatic feeding process.

[0042] The working process of the core rod conveying equipment of this filter rod laminating machine is as follows: First, the core rod unloading machine 1 unloads the core rods from the cardboard box, and the core rods enter the elevator 2. Then, under the action of the elevator 2, the core rods are lifted vertically to the same height as the top of the laminating machine 100. Subsequently, the core rods are smoothly and horizontally conveyed by the conveyor 3 to the material diverter 4. Finally, after the core rods hit the diverter block, they are dispersed into two streams and decelerated. The core rods fall smoothly into the receiving mold box of the laminating machine 100 at a low speed and with less pressure between them, completing the automatic feeding process. This achieves fully automatic conveying of core rods from the ground to the top of the laminating machine 100, completely replacing the original manual operation mode. No manual intervention is required; only batch box changing operations on the ground are needed, greatly reducing labor intensity and safety hazards. At the same time, through the diversion effect of the material diverter 4, the mutual pressure and collision of the core rods during their fall are effectively reduced, significantly reducing the breakage rate of the core rods.

[0043] Furthermore, referring to Figures 1 to 3 The core rod unloading machine 1 includes a frame 11, a full box storage position 12, an empty box storage position 13, and a pushing mechanism. The full box storage position 12 and the empty box storage position 13 are arranged side by side on the frame 11. The pushing mechanism is located inside the frame 11 and is configured to push the carton located in the full box storage position 12 to the unloading station, and to push the empty carton after unloading from the unloading station to the empty box storage position 13.

[0044] The frame 11, serving as the foundational support structure of the entire equipment, is constructed from welded steel profiles or assembled from aluminum profiles, providing an installation reference for all other components. The side-by-side full-box storage area 12 and empty-box storage area 13 can be structurally simple areas enclosed by limiting baffles, or structures with guide grooves to precisely define the position of the cartons. The full-box storage area 12 receives and temporarily stores cartons filled with core rods from upstream conveyor equipment or manually placed boxes. The empty-box storage area 13 collects unloaded empty cartons, awaiting retrieval for reuse. The unloading station is a transitional location on the same side as the full-box storage area 12 and the empty-box storage area 13. It is typically a platform flush with the storage mechanism's table surface, used to receive unloaded full cartons and unloaded empty cartons. The unloading station removes the core rods from the cartons, which can employ any unloading method known in the art. In a typical embodiment, it can be a flip-type unloading mechanism, including a drive component for flipping the paper box and a clamping component for clamping the paper box. Its specific structure is well known in existing tobacco machinery and will not be described in detail here.

[0045] The pushing mechanism includes a linear drive and a pusher plate. The linear drive is fixed to the frame 11, and its output end is connected to the pusher plate. The linear drive can drive the pusher plate to reciprocate between the full box storage position 12, the unloading position, and the empty box storage position 13. The linear drive is configured as a telescopic electric cylinder. When the linear drive is activated, it drives the pusher plate to move in a linear direction, thereby horizontally pushing the cartons on the full box storage position 12 to the unloading position, and after unloading, horizontally pushing the empty cartons on the unloading position to the empty box storage position 13. Those skilled in the art will understand that, in order to achieve the functions of removing full boxes and moving empty boxes, the pushing mechanism can employ any known automated transfer device. For example, it can be a linear module driven by a cylinder or motor and mounted on a pusher plate or pusher arm (i.e., the pushing mechanism) set on a transfer channel, or it can be a multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm capable of moving between the various positions.

[0046] Furthermore, referring to Figures 1 to 3 The elevator 2 is arranged vertically along the vertical height direction of the laminating machine 100. The elevator 2 can lift the mandrel located near the ground to the same height as the top of the laminating machine 100, so that the mandrel can be transported by the conveyor 3 located above the ground.

[0047] Furthermore, referring to Figures 1 to 3The conveyor 3 includes a housing, a rotary drive, and a conveyor belt. The housing is positioned between the elevator 2 and the discharge diverter 4. The conveyor belt is located inside the housing, and the rotary drive is mounted on the housing and driven by the conveyor belt. The conveyor belt is used to transport mandrels. The rotary drive is a servo motor, with a drive wheel and a driven wheel rotatably mounted on the housing. The two ends of the conveyor belt are wound around the drive wheel and the driven wheel, respectively. Under the action of the rotary drive, the drive wheel rotates, thereby driving the conveyor belt to move, achieving the effect of transporting mandrels.

[0048] Furthermore, referring to Figures 1 to 3 The diversion block includes a first diversion component 42 and a second diversion component 43. The first diversion component 42 is located at the inlet of the housing 41, and the second diversion component 43 is located at the outlet of the housing 41.

[0049] The first diverter 42 and the second diverter 43 are made of stainless steel. The longitudinal cross-section of the first diverter 42 is rhomboid, and the longitudinal cross-section of the second diverter 43 is triangular. The included angle at the top of the first diverter 42 is 70°, and the included angle at the top of the second diverter 43 is 90°. There are multiple second diverters 43, arranged horizontally and at intervals along the width of the discharge port of the housing 41. The mandrel enters the material diverter 4 via the conveyor 3. First, the mandrel impacts the first diverter 42 and is dispersed into two streams, left and right, and slowed down. Then, the mandrel continues to fall, and after further diversion and buffering by the multiple second diverters 43, it becomes multiple thinner and more stable mandrels. Finally, after dispersion and buffering, the mandrel falls smoothly into the receiving mold of the composite machine 100 at a low speed and with relatively small pressure between them, completing the automatic feeding process. The feeding and diverting machine 4 has a buffer function, which can ensure continuous and stable feeding to the composite machine 100, thereby improving production efficiency and automation level.

[0050] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
