[0020] Referring to Figures 1 to 7, the present invention provides a filled herbaceous plant line including a paper tube feeding mechanism 1, a herbaceous plant feeding mechanism 2, a first dripping mechanism 3, a soft separator feeding mechanism 4, a second dripping mechanism 5, a first hole expanding mechanism 6, and a hard separator feeding mechanism 7.
[0021] Specifically, the paper tube feeding mechanism 1 arranges paper tubes and sends them to the herbaceous plant feeding mechanism 2, the herbaceous plant feeding mechanism 2 drops herbaceous plant particles into the paper tube, then the first dripping mechanism 3 drips liquid into the paper tube, the soft separator feeding mechanism 4 drops a soft separator into the paper tube, next the second dripping mechanism 5 drips liquid into the paper tube, and finally the first hole expanding mechanism 6 performs a hole expanding operation on the paper tube, and the hard separator feeding mechanism 7 drops a hard separator into the paper tube.
[0022] Furthermore, the filling herbaceous plant line further includes a filter particle feeding mechanism 8 that drops filter particles into the paper tube after the hard separator drops into the paper tube, a bead feeding mechanism 9 that drops beads into the paper tube, a second hole expanding mechanism that performs a hole expanding operation on the paper tube, a cotton column feeding mechanism 11 that pushes the cotton column into the paper tube to complete the final product, and a finished product feeding mechanism 12 that arranges, feeds, and packages the final product.
[0023] Furthermore, the filled herbaceous plant line further includes a jig 13, a jig transfer mechanism 14, a jig transport rail 15, and a jig return rail 16, wherein the jig 13 is placed on the jig transport rail 15, and the jig transfer mechanism 14 can transfer the jig 13 from the jig transport rail 15 to the jig return rail 13.
[0024] In this embodiment, the filling herbaceous plant line is equipped with a total of four jig transfer mechanisms 14, two jig transport rails 15, and one jig return rail 16, which are attached to both ends of the jig transport rail 15 and used to transfer the jigs 13 from the jig transport rail 15 to the jig 13 return rail or to transfer the jigs 13 from the jig 13 return rail into the jig transport rail 15. The jig transport rails 15 are installed symmetrically with respect to the jig 13 return rail, and the jig transport rail 15 runs from the paper tube feeding mechanism 1 to the finished product feeding mechanism 12, after which the jigs 13 on the jig transport rail 15 are clamped by the jig transfer mechanisms 14 and further transferred to the jig 13 return rail for return, circulating the jigs 13 near the paper tube feeding mechanism 1.
[0025] In this embodiment, the overall production and filling process of the filling herbaceous plant line is as follows:
[0026] 1. The jig 13 is placed on the jig transport rail 15, and the jig 13 is transported to the paper tube feeding mechanism 1, and the paper tube feeding mechanism 1 arranges the paper tubes.
[0027] 2. The jig transport rail 15 continues to operate, the jig 13 and the paper tube are transported to the herbaceous plant feeding mechanism 2, and the herbaceous plant feeding mechanism 2 drops the herbaceous plant particles into the paper tube.
[0028] 3. Thereafter, the jig 13 and the paper tube are transported to the first dripping mechanism 3, and the first dripping mechanism 3 drips the liquid into the paper tube.
[0029] 4. The jig 13 and the paper tube filled with moist herbaceous plant particles are transported by the jig transport rail 15 to the soft separator feeding mechanism 4, and the soft separator feeding mechanism 4 drops the soft separator into the paper tube.
[0030] 5. Next, the jig 13 and the paper tube filled with the moistened herbaceous plant particles and soft separator are transported to the second dripping mechanism 5, which drips liquid into the paper tube to increase the fragrance of the herbaceous plant particles or increase the humidity of the herbaceous plant particles, thereby re-wetting the herbaceous plant particles and soft separator filled in the paper tube.
[0031] 6. To allow the subsequent hard separator to easily drop into the paper tube, the jig transport rail 15 transports the jig 13 together with the paper tube to the first hole expanding mechanism 6, and the first hole expanding mechanism 6 performs a hole expanding operation on the paper tube.
[0032] 7. After the hole expanding operation of the paper tube is completed, the jig 13 and the paper tube are transported to the hard separator feeding mechanism 7, and the hard separator feeding mechanism 7 drops the hard separator into the paper tube.
[0033] 8. After the hard separator drops into the paper tube, the jig 13 and the paper tube are transported to the filter particle feeding mechanism 8, which drops the filter particles into the paper tube.
[0034] 9. The jig 13 and the paper tube are transported to the bead supply mechanism 9, which drops the beads into the paper tube.
[0035] 10. Next, the jig transport rail 15 transports the jig 13 together with the paper tube to the second hole expanding mechanism so that the subsequent cotton column can easily drop into the paper tube, and the second hole expanding mechanism performs a hole expanding operation on the paper tube.
[0036] 11. Then, the jig transport rail 15 transports the jig 13 together with the paper tube to the cotton column feeding mechanism 11, and the cotton column feeding mechanism 11 pushes the cotton column into the paper tube to complete the final product.
[0037] 12. The jig transport rail 15 transports the jig 13 together with the paper tube to the finished product preparation mechanism 12, which arranges, prepares and packages the final products.
[0038] 13. The jig 13 is clamped by the jig transfer mechanism 14 close to the finished product feeding mechanism 12, and then transferred to the jig return rail 16, the jig 13 return rail returns the jig 13 to the vicinity of the paper tube feeding mechanism, and the jig transfer mechanism 14 close to the paper tube feeding mechanism transfers the jig 13 to the jig transport rail 15, completing the circulating use of the jig 13.
[0039] 1, 3 and 4, the herbaceous plant feeding mechanism 2 includes a hopper 20, a position limiting frame 21, a feeding frame 22, and a driving mechanism 23 that drives the position limiting frame 21 in accordance with the hopper 20 so that the herbaceous plant particles in the hopper 20 fall into the position limiting frame 21, and further slides the position limiting frame 21 with the feeding frame 22 so that the herbaceous plant particles in the position limiting frame 21 fall into the feeding frame 22.
[0040] 3 and 4, the herbaceous plant feeding mechanism 2 is attached to one side of the hopper 20 and further includes a pressing mechanism 24 including a first driving device 240, a platen 241 attached below the first driving device 240, and a pressing member 242 attached below the platen 241, and the first driving device 240 presses and drives the platen 241 and the pressing member 242 so that the pressing member 242 presses the herbaceous plant particles in the feeding frame 22 into the paper tube.
[0041] Furthermore, the herbaceous plant feeding mechanism 2 further includes a guide plate 243 in which a plurality of through holes 244 are installed.
[0042] In this embodiment, the herbaceous plant feeding mechanism 2 drops herbaceous plant particles into the paper tube as follows:
[0043] 1. First, turn on the first driving device 240, and drive the platen 241 and the pressing member 242 upward so that the position limiting frame 21 is not blocked by the pressing member 242 when sliding.
[0044] 2. Further, the drive mechanism 23 is driven, and the drive mechanism 23 slides the position limiting frame 21 in a direction approaching the hopper 20 until the position limiting frame 21 is aligned with the discharge opening of the hopper 20.
[0045] 3. Next, the herbaceous plant particles are poured from the hopper 20, and the herbaceous plant particles fall down the hopper 20 into the position limiting frame 21. Since the bottom of the position limiting frame 21 does not align with the through-hole 244 of the guide plate 243, the herbaceous plant particles in the position limiting frame 21 remain clamped within the position limiting frame 21.
[0046] 4. The driving mechanism 23 is driven again, and the driving mechanism 23 slides the position limiting frame 21 toward the pressing member 242. Then, the driving mechanism 23 drives the position limiting frame 21 to return to its original position, completing one reciprocating motion. During the process of the position limiting frame 21 completing one reciprocating motion, the position limiting frame 21 slides through the through-holes 244 of the guide plate 243, causing the herbaceous plant particles to fall into the through-holes 244, and then through the through-holes 244 into the paper tube below the guide plate 243.
[0047] 5. Because herbaceous plant particles are easily stuck in the through-holes 244, after the position limiting frame 21 returns to its original position, the first driving device 240 presses down the platen 241 and the pressing member 242 so that the pressing member 242 inserts the herbaceous plant particles stuck in the through-holes 244 into the paper tube below the guide plate 243.
[0048] Referring to Figure 5, the first dripping mechanism 3 and the second dripping mechanism 5 are installed on both sides of the soft separator supply mechanism 4, and both the first dripping mechanism 3 and the second dripping mechanism 5 are installed with a mount 50, a movement assembly 51 movably connected to the mount 50 and capable of moving up and down relative to the mount 50, and a plurality of drip tubes 52 attached within the movement assembly 51.
[0049] Further, the movement assembly 51 includes a guide post 510 movably connected to the mount 50 and a mounting plate 511 fixedly attached below the guide post 510, and the IV tube 52 is attached above the mounting plate 511.
[0050] In this embodiment, the first dripping mechanism 3 is located between the herbaceous plant feeding mechanism 2 and the soft separator feeding mechanism 4, and the second dripping mechanism 5 is located between the soft separator feeding mechanism 4 and the first hole expanding mechanism 6.
[0051] When the mount 50 moves up and down, the movement assembly 51 moves the drip tube 52 up and down together, and further, the drip tube 52 enters the cardboard tube to perform the dripping operation.
[0052] Furthermore, the soft separator supply mechanism 4 includes a conveying tube 40, and the soft separator drops from the conveying tube 40 into a cardboard tube.
[0053] In this embodiment, the first dripping mechanism 3 drips liquid into a paper tube, and then the first dripping mechanism 3 drops a soft separator that can absorb a portion of the liquid into the paper tube.
[0054] Referring to Figure 6, both the first hole expanding mechanism 6 and the second hole expanding mechanism are equipped with a second driving device 60 and a hole expanding head 61, and the second driving device 60 can press and drive the hole expanding head 61.
[0055] In this embodiment, both the first hole expanding mechanism 6 and the second hole expanding mechanism can perform hole expanding operations on paper tubes, and the second driving device 60 presses down the hole expanding head 61, and after the hole expanding head 61 performs hole expanding on the paper tube, the second driving device 60 drives the hole expanding head 61 to rise and reset.
[0056] Referring to FIGS. 1 and 7, the filled herb line is mounted on a rack 17 and a guard 18 covers the filled herb line.
[0057] In this embodiment, the filling herbaceous plant line is mounted on a rack 17, and the guard 18 can play a role in preventing dust.
[0058] Of course, the present invention may have many other embodiments, and all other embodiments that can be obtained by a person skilled in the art based on this embodiment without paying any creative labor belong to the scope protected by the present invention.
