Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the technical field of artificial Christmas tree manufacturing, and more specifically, relates to an artificial Christmas tree production device. Background Art

[0002] Christmas is one of the festivals that people often celebrate. As an essential element of Christmas, artificial Christmas trees are often used for decoration. An artificial Christmas tree usually consists of an artificial main trunk and multiple artificial branches. The tree trunk and branches are produced separately and assembled by tying wires on the artificial Christmas tree production device.

[0003] Currently, the production device of artificial Christmas trees generally includes a frame, a rotating shaft, a reciprocating clamping cylinder, a wire supply device, etc. The tree main trunk is inserted into the rotating shaft and one end is clamped by the clamping rod. The clamping cylinder can control the length of the tree main trunk extending out of the rotating shaft, so that when the rotating shaft rotates, it drives the tying wire on the wire supply device to wind around different positions of the tree main trunk to tie the branches.

[0004] Among them, before assembling the Christmas tree branches with the main trunk of the Christmas tree, it is necessary to separate the Christmas tree branches into individual ones, and then transport the separated branches to the branch tying mechanism on the artificial Christmas tree production device to complete the feeding operation. Currently, both the separation operation and the transportation operation need to be handled manually, which is difficult to achieve automated production, time-consuming and laborious, and the overall production efficiency is very low.

[0005] In addition, the feeding of the tree main trunk is also carried out by manually inserting the tree main trunk from the outer end (the end close to the clamping cylinder) of the rotating shaft and then being clamped by the clamping cylinder. This method results in a slow feeding speed of the tree main trunk, low automation level, and waste of human resources. Moreover, when the tying of the tree main trunk is completed, it is necessary to cut the tying wire and then seal the end of the tying wire to prevent the tying wire wound around the tree main trunk from loosening and causing the branches to fall. Currently, the sealing of artificial Christmas trees generally involves tying a knot at the end of the tying wire and then melting the knot to prevent the knot from loosening. Such a sealing operation requires manual participation, resulting in low sealing efficiency and the knot being easy to scratch the hand after melting. Summary of the Invention

Detailed implementation manners

[0061] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by the present application clearer and more understandable, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0062] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "disposed on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or indirectly on the other element. When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or indirectly connected to the other element.

[0063] It should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by terms such as "length", "width", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. It is only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and thus should not be construed as a limitation to the present application.

[0064] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. In the description of the present application, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0065] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 11 、 Figure 12 and Figure 22 , a simulation Christmas tree production device provided by an embodiment of the present application will now be described. The simulation Christmas tree production device includes a frame 1, a branch feeding device 2 provided on one side of the frame 1, a tree trunk feeding device 3 provided on the frame 1, a wire winding supply device 4 and a wire sealing device 5, and a rotating shaft 6 rotatably provided on the frame 1.

[0066] Among them, the branch feeding device 2 includes a material distribution mechanism 21 and a feeding mechanism 22. The material distribution mechanism 21 is used to disperse the branches into single branches, and the feeding mechanism 22 is used to accumulate the single branches to a predetermined quantity and then transport them to one end of the rotating shaft 6. The predetermined quantity can be one, two, three or four.

[0067] Among them, the tree trunk feeding device 3 includes a material taking mechanism 31 and a position adjusting mechanism 32. The material taking mechanism 31 is used to take out the tree trunks 7 one by one, and the position adjusting mechanism 32 is used to send the tree trunk 7 on the material taking mechanism 31 into the rotating shaft 6 and adjust the position of the tree trunk 7 in the rotating shaft 6.

[0068] Among them, the wire winding supply device 4 is used to provide tying wires, so that when the rotating shaft 6 rotates, the tying wires are wound around the tree trunk 7 and the branches are tied to the tree trunk 7. The wire winding supply device 4 is of an existing structure and will not be described in detail here. Generally, it includes a tying wire wheel and a tensioning cylinder. The tensioning cylinder is used to tightly wind the tying wires around the tree trunk 7 to play a role in tying the branches.

[0069] Among them, the wire sealing device 5 is used to convey the sleeve 8 into the rotating shaft 6, so that when the tree trunk 7 extends out of the rotating shaft 6, the sleeve 8 is sleeved on the tree trunk 7. After the tree trunk 7 and the branches are wound with wires, the sleeve 8 is press-fitted to cover the end area of the tying wire. The sleeve 8 covers the end area of the tying wire, so that there is no need for manual knotting and hot-melting treatment of the end of the tying wire.

[0070] A kind of artificial Christmas tree production equipment provided by an embodiment of the present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0071] 1. Through the material distribution mechanism 21 and the feeding mechanism 22 in the branch feeding device 2, automatic feeding of branches can be realized, and the number of conveyed branches does not need to be counted manually, thereby improving the feeding efficiency of the branches;

[0072] 2. The tree trunk 7 realizes feeding of the tree trunk 7 from below the rotating shaft 6 and extending out from the inside of the rotating shaft 6 through the tree trunk feeding device 3. Thus, when the tree trunk 7 is continuously fed, the feeding time interval between adjacent two tree trunks 7 is short, which improves the feeding speed of the tree trunk 7. Compared with the prior art in which the tree trunk 7 is inserted into the rotating shaft 6 manually from one end, the tree trunk feeding device 3 does not require manual feeding and has the advantages of high automation degree, cost saving, and fast feeding speed;

[0073] 3. The end area of the tying wire on the tree trunk 7 is sealed by the sleeve 8, so there is no need for manual knotting and hot-melting operations on the end of the tying wire, which saves costs and improves the wire sealing efficiency. Moreover, the sleeve 8 is automatically fed through the wire sealing device 5 and cooperates with the tree trunk feeding device 3 to realize press-fitting covering assembly of the sleeve 8 and the tree trunk 7, making the production of artificial Christmas trees have the advantages of high wire sealing efficiency, high automation degree, low cost, and labor saving.

[0074] Such as Figures 2 - 4As shown, in this embodiment, in one embodiment, the material distributing mechanism 21 includes a first conveying component 211, a material distributing member 212 disposed above the first conveying component 211, and a material distributing hopper 213 disposed at the discharging end of the first conveying component 211. A feeding gap for a single branch to pass through one by one is formed by arranging the material distributing member 212 and the first conveying component 211 at an interval, and each branch is stacked in the material distributing hopper 213 in its natural state. Among them, the first conveying component 211 is a conventional wide belt conveying structure, and its specific structure will not be introduced in detail here. Branches are placed in a pile on the first conveying component 211. The feeding gap between the material distributing member 212 and the first conveying component 211 only allows one branch to be conveyed each time, so as to realize the material distribution of the branches. The material distributing hopper 213 is used to collect the branches stacked together in their natural state. At this time, there is a gap between two adjacent branches and they are in a relaxed state.

[0075] As Figure 5 shown, the material distributing member 212 is a baffle structure. A plurality of spaced teeth 2121 are provided at one end of the material distributing member 212 close to the first conveying component 211, and the gaps between the teeth 2121 allow the leaves of the branches to pass through. In other embodiments, the material distributing member 212 can adopt the method of driving a stirring rod by an electric motor to distribute the branches. Among them, the material distributing member 212 is provided with multiple pieces at intervals, so as to ensure its material distribution efficiency for the branches.

[0076] As Figure 6 shown, in this embodiment, the material distributing hopper 213 is provided with a feeding port and a discharging port 2131. Among them, the feeding port is in an open shape, so that single branches can be gradually stacked in the material distributing hopper 213, and the branches cannot fall from the discharging port 2131 without external force.

[0077] As shown, in this embodiment, the feeding mechanism 22 includes: a second conveying component 221 disposed below the material distributing hopper 213, a material taking component 222 disposed below the material distributing hopper 213 and used to transfer the branches in the material distributing hopper 213 to the second conveying component 221 one by one, a third conveying component 223 disposed at one end of the second conveying component 221 far from the material distributing hopper 213 and whose conveying direction is perpendicular to the direction of the second conveying component 221, a material transferring component 224 disposed between the second conveying component 221 and the third conveying component 223 to rotate the branches on the second conveying component 221 by 90° and then transfer them to the third conveying component 223, and a material pushing component 225 disposed at one end of the third conveying component 223 far from the material transferring component 224 and used to drive the branches to below the rotating shaft 6.

[0078] As Figures 7 - 10As shown, the material taking component 222 includes a driving cylinder 2221 and a magnetic material taking block 2222 provided on the movable rod of the driving cylinder 2221. An adsorption groove is provided on the magnetic material taking block 2222, and the magnetic material taking block 2222 is a magnet. Since a tree branch is composed of a wire and leaves wound around the wire, therefore, each time a tree branch is sucked by the magnetic material taking block 2222, so as to determine the number of tree branches.

[0079] As Figure 7 shown, in this embodiment, the structures of the second conveying component 221 and the third conveying component 223 are the same, and both adopt a belt conveying structure with two belts arranged at intervals. The belt conveying structure is a conventional structure and will not be described in detail here. The difference between the second conveying component 221 and the third conveying component 223 lies in that the density of the material receiving members 2211 provided on the second conveying component 221 is less than the density of the material receiving members provided on the third conveying component 223. In this embodiment, three second conveying components 221 are provided, and one third conveying component 223 is provided. That is, a group of tree branches conveyed on the three second conveying components 221 can be transferred to the third conveying component 223 through the material transfer component 224 at one time, thereby improving the feeding efficiency of the tree branches. In this embodiment, a material receiving groove 2212 is provided on the material receiving member 2211, and the material receiving groove 2212 is a V-shaped, U-shaped or arc-shaped groove. Among them, the material taking component 222, the material transfer component 224 and the material ejecting component 225 are all arranged between the two belts, so that the tree branches can be conveyed across the material receiving members 2211 between the two belts. The length of the tree branch is greater than the width between the two belts, so that the tree branches can be horizontally conveyed on the two belts (that is, the length direction of the tree branch is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the belt).

[0080] As Figure 8 shown, in this embodiment, the material transfer component 224 includes a material transfer cylinder 2241, a rotary cylinder 2242 and a material transfer block 2243. The material transfer cylinder 2241 is used to drive the rotary cylinder 2242 to lift, and the rotary cylinder 2242 is used to drive the material transfer block 2243 to rotate 90°, so that the conveying direction of the tree branches on the second conveying component 221 is changed to the conveying direction on the third conveying component 223, thus completing the transfer of the tree branches. Since three second conveying components 221 are provided, therefore, three rotary cylinders 2242 and three material transfer blocks 2243 are provided. A V-shaped groove is provided on the material transfer block 2243 for carrying the tree branches.

[0081] As Figure 9As shown, in this embodiment, the lifting component 225 includes a lifting cylinder 2251 and a lifting block 2252. The lifting cylinder 2251 is located at the end of the third conveying component 223. The lifting cylinder 2251 is used to lift the branches on the third conveying component 223 so that the branches rise to a position close to the rotating shaft 6. When the tree main rod 7 in the rotating shaft 6 is extended, the branches fit into the tree main rod 7 so that the binding wire can bind the branches and the tree main rod 7 together.

[0082] like Figure 10 As shown, in this embodiment, the retrieving mechanism 31 includes a housing 311, a tilting member 312, a retrieving cylinder 313, a telescopic plate 314, a retrieving plate 315, and a retrieving trough 316. The tree trunk 7 is placed on the tilting member 312, and the retrieving plate 315 can be extended from the inside of the housing 311 to remove the tree trunk 7 one by one. The housing 311 has an opening, and the tilting member 312 is located below the opening. The opening facilitates the placement of the tree trunk 7 on the tilting member 312. The lowest end of the tilting member 312 is located above the telescopic plate 314. The tilting member 312 functions to automatically roll the tree trunk 7 onto the telescopic plate 314, allowing the retrieving cylinder 313 to push the retrieving plate 315 to remove the tree trunk 7 one by one from the housing 311. In this embodiment, the tilting member 312 comprises multiple tilting rods arranged obliquely within the housing 311, with the spacing between adjacent tilting rods being less than the length of the tree trunk 7. In other embodiments, the inclined member 312 is an inclined plate.

[0083] The telescopic plate 314 is slidably mounted on the cabinet via a guide rail structure. The retrieving cylinder 313 is used to drive the telescopic plate 314 to reciprocate, causing the retrieving trough 316 on the retrieving plate 315 to extend into and out of the housing 311. The retrieving trough 316 only accommodates one tree trunk 7 at a time. In this embodiment, the upper surfaces of the retrieving plate 315 and the telescopic plate 314 are flush, and the gap between the upper surfaces of the retrieving plate 315 and the retrieving plate 314 and the housing 311 is less than the diameter of the tree trunk 7. Only when the tree trunk 7 is accommodated within the retrieving trough 316 can it move from the housing 311 to the outside of the housing 311 with the retrieving plate 315.

[0084] like Figures 11 - 13 As shown, a through slot 61 is provided on the rotating shaft 6 , the length direction of which is the same as the axial direction of the rotating shaft 6 , and a through hole 62 communicating with the through slot 61 is provided at at least one end of the rotating shaft 6 .

[0085] like Figure 16 、 Figure 11 、 Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown, in this embodiment, the position adjustment mechanism 32 includes: a lifting component 321 provided on the frame 1 and located below the rotating shaft 6, a toggle component 322 provided on the frame 1 and located above the rotating shaft 6, and a clamping component 323 provided on the frame 1.

[0086] Among them, the jacking component 321 pushes the tree main rod 7 on the material trough 316 from the lower end of the through groove 61 into the rotating shaft 6 and makes the tree main rod 7 and the through hole 62 coaxial; the toggle component 322 is inserted from the upper end of the through groove 61, and toggles the tree main rod 7 on the jacking component 321 so that one end of the tree main rod 7 extends out of the rotating shaft 6 through the through hole 62; the clamping component 323 clamps one end of the tree main rod 7 and can drive the tree main rod 7 to reciprocate along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 6.

[0087] like Figure 16 As shown, in this embodiment, the lifting assembly 321 includes a guide post 3211, a guide plate 3212 movably mounted on the guide post 3211, a top plate 3213 mounted on the guide plate 3212, and a lifting cylinder 3215 that drives the guide plate 3212 to move up and down along the length of the guide post 3211. The top plate 3213 is provided at one end away from the guide plate 3212 with a receiving slot 3214 for accommodating the tree trunk 7. In this embodiment, four guide posts 3211 are provided and arranged in a rectangular shape, and the lifting cylinder 3215 is positioned between the four guide posts 3211 to ensure uniform force applied to the guide plate 3212. In this embodiment, there are two rotating shafts 6 and two top plates 3213. The thickness of the top plates 3213 is smaller than the width of the through slot 61, and the length of the top plates 3213 is smaller than the length of the through slot 61. In this way, the top plates 3213 can be inserted into the rotating shaft 6 through the through slot 61, thereby sending the tree main rod 7 into the rotating shaft 6 through the accommodating groove 3214.

[0088] like Figure 17 and Figure 12 As shown, in this embodiment, three feeding plates 315 are arranged at intervals, and the end of the top plate 3213 away from the guide plate 3212 is arranged in a U shape. The U-shaped end of the top plate 3213 is inserted into the interval between two adjacent feeding plates 315 to lift the tree main rod 7 on the feeding plates 315. The feeding plates 315 are arranged at intervals, and the U-shaped top plates 3213 can be higher than the height of the feeding plates 315 when rising. In this way, when the tree main rod 7 is placed in the feeding trough 316, the bottom top plate 3213 rises, so that the accommodating groove 3214 can push the tree main rod 7 out of the feeding trough 316 and push it into the rotating shaft 6, thereby realizing the assembly of the tree main rod 7 into the rotating shaft 6.

[0089] like Figure 13 As shown, in this embodiment, two feeding mechanisms 31, rotating shafts 6, lifting assemblies 321 and toggling assemblies 322 are symmetrically provided. This allows two tree main poles 7 to be fed simultaneously, greatly improving the feeding efficiency of the tree main poles 7 and thus improving the production efficiency of the artificial Christmas tree.

[0090] Specifically, as shown in FIG11 , in this embodiment, the material taking mechanism 31, the rotating shaft 6, and the lifting assembly 321 are symmetrically arranged with the toggle assembly 322 as the axis of symmetry. This allows the omission of some parts that are shared by the two toggle assemblies 322 and the two lifting assemblies 321 (such as the fixing plate 3221, the belt assembly 3222, and the guide pillars 3211 and the guide plate 3212 described below), thereby reducing costs.

[0091] Specifically, Figure 11 、 Figure 11 、 Figure 14 、 Figure 15 and Figure 18 As shown, in this embodiment, the shifting assembly 322 includes a fixed plate 3221 provided on the frame 1, a belt assembly 3222 provided on the fixed plate 3221, a shifting cylinder 3223 slidably provided on the fixed plate 3221, and a shifting block 3224 provided on the shifting cylinder 3223. The shifting cylinder 3223 drives the shifting block 3224 to move up and down, thereby allowing the shifting block 3224 to extend into the rotating shaft 6 through the through slot 61. The shifting cylinder 3223 and the belt assembly 3222 are in transmission connection to cause the shifting block 3224 to reciprocate along the axis of the rotating shaft 6, thereby extending the tree main pole 7 from the rotating shaft 6. Specifically, in this embodiment, since the material-retrieving mechanism 31, the lifting assembly 321 and the rotating shaft 6 are symmetrically provided with two, the shifting cylinder 3223 and the shifting block 3224 are symmetrically provided with two, and the two shifting cylinders 3223 and the shifting block 3224 are driven to move along the axis of the rotating shaft 6 by a belt assembly 3222. Among them, the shifting block 3224 is used to shift one end of the tree main rod 7 away from the through hole 62. Since the rotating shaft 6 needs to rotate during the process of binding the tree main rod 7, the shifting cylinder 3223 drives the shifting block 3224 into the rotating shaft 6 and extends the tree main rod 7, and then drives the shifting block 3224 out of the rotating shaft 6 to allow the rotating shaft 6 to rotate normally. Similarly, after the tree main rod 7 extends out of the rotating shaft 6, the top plate 3213 is driven out of the rotating shaft 6 by the lifting cylinder 3215 to allow the rotating shaft 6 to rotate normally.

[0092] like Figure 19 、 Figure 14 and Figure 18As shown, in this embodiment, the belt assembly 3222 includes a rotating belt and a driving motor that drives the rotating belt to rotate. In this embodiment, the clamping assembly 323 includes a clamping guide rail 3231 slidably arranged on the fixed plate 3221 and a clamping cylinder 3232 arranged at one end of the clamping guide rail 3231. Two clamping cylinders 3232 are provided, each for clamping two tree main poles 7. A clamping block 3226 is provided on the clamping guide rail 3231 to clamp the rotating belt so that the clamping guide rail 3231 and the rotating belt move synchronously. A connecting rod 3227 is provided between the clamping block 3226 and the shifting cylinder 3223. In this embodiment, the movement of the shifting cylinder 3223 and the clamping cylinder 3232 are both driven by a belt assembly 3222, thereby saving costs. The clamping block 3226 securely connects the clamping guide 3231 and the rotating belt, allowing them to move synchronously. When the drive motor drives the rotating belt forward and reverse, the synchronous belt 65 drives the clamping guide 3231 to reciprocate along the axis of the rotating shaft 6. The clamping cylinder 3232 is used to clamp the tree trunk 7 so that the trunk 7 can be gradually pulled out of the rotating shaft 6 during the wire binding process until the binding process is completed. The connecting rod 3227 is used to synchronize the movement of the shifting cylinder 3223 with the rotating belt, allowing the shifting block 3224 to shift the tree trunk 7 out of the rotating shaft 6.

[0093] like Figure 19 、 Figure 11 、 Figure 15 and Figure 18 As shown, since the length of the tree main rod 7 is longer than the length that the shifting block 3224 needs to shift the tree main rod 7 out of the rotating shaft 6, in order to save installation space. A guide rod 3225 is provided below the fixed plate 3221, and a position-adjustable limit block 3229 is provided on the guide rod 3225. The shifting cylinder 3223 is provided with a sliding block 3220 that is slidably sleeved on the guide rod 3225. A return spring is sleeved on the guide rod 3225 between the limit block 3229 and the sliding block 3220. A stop column 3228 is provided on the end of the connecting rod 3227 close to the clamping block 3226. The stop column 3228 and the clamping block 3226 are blocked from the side away from the shifting cylinder 3223. The direction of the elastic force of the return spring is opposite to the direction of movement of the clamping block 3226 blocked by the stop column 3228. In this embodiment, when the tree main rod 7 needs to be shifted out of the rotating shaft 6, the driving motor drives the rotating belt to rotate clockwise ( Figure 19 and Figure 18 The rotating belt drives the clamping block 3226 to Figure 19During the left movement, the clamping block 3226 and the blocking column 3228 block each other, so that the blocking column 3228 and the clamping block 3226 move to the left synchronously. At this time, the blocking column 3228 will drive the shifting cylinder 3223 to slide to the left through the connecting rod 3227, thereby driving the shifting block 3224 to slide to the left so as to shift the tree main rod 7 out of the rotating shaft 6. After the tree main rod 7 extends out of the rotating shaft 6 and is clamped by the clamping cylinder 3232, the shifting cylinder 3223 drives the shifting block 3224 to rise and disengage from the rotating shaft 6. At this time, the driving motor and the rotating belt continue to drive the clamping guide rail 3231 to move to the left, so that the clamping cylinder 3232 moves to the left so as to gradually pull the tree main rod 7 out of the rotating shaft 6, so that the binding line gradually binds the tree main rod 7 until the binding action is completed. As the sliding block 3220 slides leftward along with the toggle cylinder 3223, it cooperates with the stop block 3229 to gradually compress the spring. When the line binding action is completed, the driving cylinder 2221 rotates counterclockwise. When the rotating belt drives the clamping block 3226 and the clamping guide rail 3231 to reset to the right, the elastic force of the spring drives the sliding block 3220 to slide rightward, thereby driving the toggle cylinder 3223 and the connecting rod 3227 to slide rightward, completing the reset action and preparing for the next toggle of the tree main rod 7. In other embodiments, the reciprocating motion of the toggle cylinder 3223 along the axis of the rotating shaft 6 can be achieved by providing a separate drive structure such as a cylinder, a belt drive, or the like.

[0094] like Figure 19 and Figure 11 As shown, in this embodiment, the rotating shaft 6 needs to rotate during the wire binding process. When a single rotating shaft 6 is provided, the rotating shaft 6 can be directly driven to rotate by a rotating motor 64. When two rotating shafts 6 are provided, the ends of the two rotating shafts 6 extending away from the main tree pole 7 are each provided with a pulley 63, which is connected to the pulley 63 by a rotating motor 64 and a synchronous belt 65. In this way, the two rotating shafts 6 can be driven to rotate by a single synchronous belt 65 and a rotating motor 64, saving costs.

[0095] In this embodiment, the loading process of the tree main rod 7 is: first, multiple tree main rods 7 are placed on the inclined part 312 in the box body 311, and then the telescopic plate 314 is driven to slide by the feeding cylinder 313, so that the feeding trough 316 on the feeding plate 315 is placed in the box body 311 and accommodates a tree main rod 7, and then the feeding cylinder 313 drives the feeding plate 315 to extend out of the box body 311 so that a tree main rod 7 is placed outside the box body 311. At this time, this tree main rod 7 is located directly below the through slot 61 on the rotating shaft 6.

[0096] The lifting cylinder 3215 drives the mounting plate 571 to rise along the guide column 3211, so that the accommodating groove 3214 on the top plate 3213 gradually rises and accommodates the tree main rod 7. The lifting cylinder 3215 continues to drive the top plate 3213 to rise so that the top plate 3213 is inserted into the rotating shaft 6 through the lower end of the through groove 61, and makes the tree main rod 7 in the accommodating groove 3214 and the through hole 62 on the rotating shaft 6 coaxial.

[0097] The shifting cylinder 3223 drives the shifting block 3224 to descend and extend into the rotating shaft 6 through the lower end of the through slot 61, and makes the shifting block 3224 abut against the end face of the tree main rod 7 away from the through hole 62. The driving motor works, so that the rotating belt drives the clamping guide rail 3231 and the clamping block 3226 to move leftward. The clamping block 3226 drives the shifting cylinder 3223 to move leftward (the shifting cylinder 3223 moves toward the through hole 62) through the stop column 3228 and the connecting rod 3227, thereby driving the shifting block 3224 to move leftward and driving the tree main rod 7 to slide along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 6 until the tree main rod 7 passes through the through hole 62 and extends outside the rotating shaft 6. The end of the through hole 62 near the through slot 61 can be configured to be trumpet-shaped, which makes it easier to guide the tree main rod 7 into the through hole 62.

[0098] After one end of the tree main pole 7 extends out of the rotating shaft 6 and is clamped by the clamping cylinder 3232, the lifting cylinder 3215 and the toggle cylinder 3223 respectively drive the top plate 3213 and the toggle block to separate from the rotating shaft 6. When the tree main pole 7 needs to be tied with branches, the rotating motor 64 drives the rotating shaft 6 to rotate so that the binding wire on the binding mechanism rotates with the rotating shaft 6 and is wrapped around the tree main pole 7. At this time, the driving motor and the rotating belt continue to drive the clamping guide rail 3231 to move to the left, so that the clamping cylinder 3232 gradually pulls out the tree main pole 7, so that the binding wire gradually wraps around the tree main pole 7 and ties the branches until the binding process is completed.

[0099] like Figure 16 As shown, in this embodiment, the sleeve 8 is a plastic tube, a rubber tube or a silicone tube, so that the sleeve 8 has a certain deformation ability. When the binding wire is wrapped around the main tree pole 7, the sum of the thickness of the binding wire and the diameter of the main tree pole 7 is greater than the inner diameter of the sleeve 8. In this way, the sleeve 8 is interference fit when covering the binding wire, thereby ensuring the firmness of the sleeve 8 covering the end area of the binding wire and ensuring the quality of the sealing wire.

[0100] like Figure 22As shown, in this embodiment, a mounting shaft 9 is rotatably provided in one end of the rotating shaft 6, and a center hole 91 coaxial with the rotating shaft 6 is provided on the mounting shaft 9. The tree main rod 7 passes through the center hole 91 and extends out of the rotating shaft 6. An elastic limiter 92 is provided at one end of the mounting shaft 9 close to the end face of the rotating shaft 6. The elastic limiter 92 is used to limit the movement of the sleeve 8 along with the tree main rod 7 when the sleeve 8 does not interfere with the tree main rod 7. When the sleeve 8 interferes with the tree main rod 7, the elastic limiter cancels the limiting effect on the sleeve 8. Specifically, when the binding wire is not wrapped around the tree main rod 7, the sleeve 8 can slide freely on the tree main rod 7, and the function of the elastic limiter 92 is to limit the free sliding of the sleeve 8, and to prevent the tree main rod 7 from bringing the sleeve 8 out of the rotating shaft 6 when the binding wire is pulled out, so as to avoid the sleeve 8 being wrapped and covered by the binding wire and losing its sealing function. After the binding wire is completed on the main pole 7 of the tree, the belt assembly 3222 drives the clamping assembly 323 to move, thereby driving the main pole 7 to move in the direction of inserting into the rotating shaft 6, so that the end area of the binding wire will stretch the sleeve 8 to complete the interference wrapping of the sleeve 8. At this time, since the binding wire has a certain thickness, the binding wire will stretch the elastic limiter 92 to separate the elastic limiter 92 and the sleeve 8, so that the sleeve 8 can be pulled out of the rotating shaft 6 along with the main pole 7, thereby completing the unloading of the simulated Christmas tree.

[0101] like Figures 20 - 22 and Figure 21 As shown, in this embodiment, the elastic limiter 92 includes a pressure block rotatably mounted on the mounting shaft 9 and a spring (not shown in the figure) disposed between the pressure block and the inner wall of the rotating shaft 6. The spring drives the pressure block to move in the axial direction of the rotating shaft 6 so that the pressure block and the sleeve 8 are hooked close to one end of the end face of the rotating shaft 6. The function of the spring is to continuously apply pressure to the pressure block so that the pressure block and the sleeve 8 always maintain the hooking action, thereby preventing the sleeve 8 from being pulled out of the rotating shaft 6 before the line is sealed. The spring can be a straight spring or a torsion spring. In other embodiments, a soft elastic member such as a rubber block or a silicone block is disposed between the pressure block and the inner wall of the rotating shaft 6. It is sufficient as long as it can ensure that an elastic force is applied to the pressure block to move the pressure block in the direction close to the sleeve 8.

[0102] like Figure 22 and Figure 21As shown in the figure, specifically, one side of the pressing block close to the axis of the rotating shaft 6 is provided with a stepped surface 9211 and an arc surface 9212 connected to the stepped surface 9211. The arc surface 9212 is close to the end face of the rotating shaft 6. The stepped surface 9211 and the end face of the sleeve 8 are hooked. The stepped surface 9211 is provided to limit the free sliding of the sleeve 8 on the tree main trunk 7. The function of the arc surface 9212 is to facilitate the expansion of the pressing block when the tree main trunk 7 after tying the wire is inserted into the rotating shaft 6, so that the stepped surface 9211 and the end face of the sleeve 8 are separated, so that the pressing block cancels the limiting effect on the sleeve 8. Thus, when the tree main trunk 7 is pulled out by the clamping cylinder 3232, the sleeve 8 is synchronously taken out of the rotating shaft 6 with the tree main trunk 7, and the blanking of the artificial Christmas tree is completed.

[0103] As Figure 22 , Figure 20 , Figure 23 , and Figure 24 shown, in this embodiment, the wire sealing device 5 includes a vibrating disk 51, a guiding track 52 provided at the discharging end of the vibrating disk 51, a first translation platform 53 provided at the discharging end of the guiding track 52, a first conveying nozzle 54 provided on the first translation platform 53, and a blowing component 55 provided on one side of the guiding track 52. Among them, the vibrating disk 51 and the guiding track 52 are used to sort the sleeves 8 one by one, so that multiple sleeves 8 are arranged in a straight line for conveying. In this way, only the sleeves 8 need to be poured into the vibrating disk 51, and there is no need to manually sort the sleeves 8, which improves the feeding efficiency. The first translation platform 53 drives the first conveying nozzle 54 to reciprocate between the discharging end of the guiding track 52 and the blowing component 55. Each time the first translation platform 53 reciprocates, only one sleeve 8 is conveyed. In this way, it is ensured that only one sleeve 8 is sleeved on each tree main trunk 7, ensuring the production quality of the artificial Christmas tree.

[0104] As Figure 25 , Figure 20 , Figure 23 , and Figure 24 shown, in this embodiment, a second conveying nozzle 56 is provided at the discharging end of the first conveying nozzle 54. The first conveying nozzle 54 and the second conveying nozzle 56 are connected by a hose. The second conveying nozzle 56 and the hose can be used to arrange the positions of the vibrating disk 51, the guiding track 52, the first translation platform 53 and the first conveying nozzle 54 at other positions far from the rotating shaft 6. As long as the installation accuracy between the second conveying nozzle 56 and the rotating shaft 6 is ensured, it can be ensured that the sleeve 8 is conveyed into the rotating shaft 6. Thus, the installation accuracy requirements of structures such as the vibrating disk 51, the guiding track 52, the first translation platform 53 and the first conveying nozzle 54 can be reduced, saving costs and improving the adaptability to the space environment.

[0105] As Figure 25 , Figure 20 , Figure 23 , andFigure 24 As shown, in this embodiment, a second translation platform 57 is provided at the discharging end of the second conveying nozzle 56. Transfer plates 58 are provided at intervals on the second translation platform 57. At least two transfer slots 583 are provided on the transfer plates 58. The second translation platform 57 drives the transfer plates 58 to translate so that the two transfer slots 583 are respectively aligned with the second conveying nozzle 56. Each transfer slot 583 corresponds to a rotating shaft 6, corresponding to the two rotating shafts 6 on the frame 1. The purposes of setting the second translation platform 57, the transfer plates 58 and at least two receiving slots 3214 are to improve the feeding efficiency of the sleeve 8, so that two artificial Christmas trees can be processed at the same time, doubling the sealing efficiency of the artificial Christmas trees.

[0106] As Figure 25 , Figure 20 , Figure 23 , and Figure 24 As shown, in this embodiment, the transfer plate 58 is a U-shaped plate. The transfer plate 58 includes a plate body 581 and two upright plates 882 arranged at intervals. The transfer slot 583 is provided at one end of the upright plate 882 away from the plate body 581. A vacuum suction hole 584 communicating with the bottom of the transfer slot 583 is provided in the column 531. The end of the vacuum suction hole 584 away from the transfer slot 583 is connected to a vacuum pumping device. The setting of the vacuum suction hole 584 is used to ensure the firmness of the tube sleeve contained in the receiving slot 3214. The vacuum suction hole 584 realizes the adsorption force on the sleeve 8 through the vacuum pumping device. The vacuum pumping device can be existing products such as a vacuum pump and an air extraction pump.

[0107] As Figure 25 , Figure 20 , Figure 23 , and Figure 24 As shown, in this embodiment, a lifting cylinder 59 is provided on the second translation platform 57. The transfer plate 58 is provided on the lifting cylinder 59. The transfer plate 58 is located below the rotating shaft 6. An inlet hole perpendicular to the axial direction of the rotating shaft 6 is provided on the rotating shaft 6. The inlet hole is communicated with the central hole 91 in the mounting shaft 9. The lifting cylinder 59 drives the transfer slot 583 on the transfer plate 58 to extend into the rotating shaft 6 through the inlet hole, so that the sleeve 8 and the central hole 91 are coaxial, so that when the tree main rod 7 is pulled out from the rotating shaft 6, it passes through the sleeve 8 and then extends out of the rotating shaft 6 to complete the sleeving of the sleeve 8 and the tree main rod 7.

[0108] The second translation platform 57 is arranged below the rotating shaft 6 to improve space utilization and reduce the space occupied by the entire loading assembly. During the production process of the artificial Christmas tree, the adapter plate 58 is first driven up by the lifting cylinder 59 to insert the vertical plate 882 into the feeding hole and make the sleeve 8 in the adapter groove 583 and the center hole 91 of the mounting shaft 9 coaxial. The center hole 91 and the through hole 62 are connected and coaxial. Then, the tree main rod 7 is pulled out from the through hole 62 and the center hole 91 by the toggle assembly 322 and passed through the sleeve 8, so that the sleeve 8 is sleeved on the tree main rod 7. At this time, the pressure block of the elastic limiter 92 is connected to the sleeve 8 under the drive of the spring, thereby limiting the free sliding of the sleeve 8. After one end of the tree main rod 7 extends out of the rotating shaft 6, it is clamped by the clamping cylinder 3232. When the main stem 7 and the branches are tied together, the belt assembly 3222 and the clamping assembly 323 cooperate to drive the main stem 7 and the sleeve 8 to move relative to each other, so that the sleeve 8 is deformed and covers the end area of the binding line, thereby completing the sealing of the artificial Christmas tree. In this embodiment, the sleeve 8 is restricted by the vertical plate 882 and the elastic limiter 92 at the connection between the center hole 91 and the feed hole, and the sleeve 8 cannot move at the connection. Therefore, when the main stem 7 is tied together, the belt assembly 3222 and the clamping assembly 323 cooperate to drive the main stem 7 to be inserted into the rotating shaft 6, so that the main stem 7 and the sleeve 8 move relative to each other. The binding line on the main stem 7 stretches the sleeve 8 so that the sleeve 8 is deformed and covers the end area of the binding line to complete the sealing of the artificial Christmas tree. Then, the artificial Christmas tree can be pulled out of the rotating shaft 6 by the belt assembly 3222 and the clamping assembly 323.

[0109] like Figure 25 、 Figure 20 、 Figure 23 ,and Figure 24 As shown, in this embodiment, the first translation platform 53 includes a column 531 provided at the discharge end of the material guide track 52, a first horizontal push cylinder 532 provided on the column 531, and a first mounting block 533 provided on the telescopic rod of the first horizontal push cylinder 532. The first delivery nozzle 54 is provided on the first mounting block 533. The first translation platform 53 is used to achieve docking and switching of the second delivery nozzle 56 between the blowing assembly 55 and the material guide track 52, thereby achieving the one-by-one feeding of the sleeves 8.

[0110] like Figure 25 、 Figure 20 、 Figure 23 ,and Figure 24As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the second translation platform 57 includes a mounting plate 571, a second flat push cylinder 572 provided on the mounting plate 571, and a second mounting block 573 provided on the telescopic rod of the second flat push cylinder 572. The lifting cylinder 59 is provided on the second mounting block 573. The second translation platform 57 is used to realize the left and right movement of the lifting cylinder 59, so as to realize the left and right movement of the adapter plate 58 on the lifting cylinder 59, make the transfer groove 583 and the second delivery nozzle 56 aligned, so that the sleeve 8 in the second delivery nozzle 56 can be accommodated in the transfer groove 583. One end of the opening of the transfer groove 583 is the second delivery nozzle 56, and a blocking member is provided at the other end of the opening of the transfer groove 583. The blocking member is used to prevent the sleeve 8 from being blown out of the transfer groove 583.

[0111] As Figure 25 , Figure 20 , Figure 23 , and Figure 24 Figure 25 shown, the air blowing assembly 55 includes an air pump, an air tube and an air nozzle which are connected to each other. The air pump and the air tube are used to provide a high-flow air stream to the air nozzle, so that the air stream ejected from the air nozzle can blow the sleeve 8. After the air nozzle and the first delivery nozzle 54 are aligned, the sleeve 8 in the first delivery nozzle 54 is blown into the second delivery nozzle 56 to complete the feeding action of the sleeve 8. In other embodiments, the first translation platform 53 and the second translation platform 57 can also adopt other forms of displacement platforms, as long as they can realize the position movement of the first delivery sleeve and the position movement of the lifting assembly 321.

[0112] The simulation Christmas tree production equipment provided by this embodiment realizes the automatic feeding and automatic wire sealing of branches, the tree trunk 7 and the sleeve 8, without manual participation, and has the advantages of high automation degree, high production efficiency and labor cost saving.

[0113] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
