FIELD: machine building.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to balls feeding method in balls flow transportation device (2) in system, used in tobacco industry, from receiving pockets (18) into discharge pockets (21), in which balls are moved along guide slots (5A, 5B, 6A, 6B, 6C), made in guide plates (5, 6), which includes stages, at which balls (2) are supplied into guide chamber (22, 22’, 22”), formed at intersection of first guide plate (5, 5’) guide slot (5A, 5B) and second guide plate (6, 6’) guide slot (6A, 6B, 6C); at least one guide plate is rotated relative to another guide plate, which causes guide chamber (22, 22’, 22”) displacement with changing distance from guide chamber (22, 22’, 22”) to guide plates axis of rotation; balls are moved from guide chamber (22, 22’, 22”) into discharge pocket (21, 21’).
EFFECT: technical result consists in increase in balls supply rate without changing of their motion path diameter.
