Design and finite element analysis of cigarette filter rod loading and unloading mechanism.

In view of the compound adding requirement of a hard cigarette filter rod, a kind of loading and unloading mechanism of cigarette filter rods was designed. ANSYS WorkBench software was used to simulate the transient dynamics of the filter rod loading and unloading mechanism by using the method of transient dynamics analysis, and the dynamic characteristics of the mechanism were studied from the perspective of structural dynamics. The analysis results show that the maximum equivalent stress of the filter rod loading and unloading mechanism is 112.54 MPa, which is less than the allowable stress of the material. The rationality and stability of the filter rod loading and unloading mechanism were verified by setting up an experimental platform for testing. The results show that the structure design of the filter rod loading and unloading mechanism is reasonable, and the success rate of loading rods reaches 100%, which can meet the work requirements.
