AI Technical Summary
In current brush production, multiple applications of adhesive are required when assembling the bristles inside the sleeve, resulting in low production efficiency and high costs. Furthermore, the bristles are bundled into a single shape, making them unsuitable for different sleeve shapes.
A brush assembly device was designed. Two tube sleeve feeding robots are set outside the tube sleeve automatic turntable. The feeding robots use a glue applicator to pick up the brush bristles from the bristle carrier and insert them into the stacked tube sleeves. The glue applicator then applies glue into the upper tube sleeve to fix the bristles, simplifying the number of glue application steps and adapting to different tube sleeve shapes.
It improves brush production efficiency, reduces production costs, and enables flexible fixing of brush bristles within the sleeve, adapting to the needs of sleeves of different shapes.

Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of automated equipment, and particularly relates to a brush assembly device. Background Technology
[0002] A brush is a tool used to bundle fine bristles into a handle using a tubular sleeve. It is used to apply paint to specific areas or for cleaning, and is therefore frequently found in daily life, industrial manufacturing, and construction projects. Current brush production generally follows these steps: the bristles are cut into specific portions, bundled, and secured with glue. The bundled bristles are then placed in a tubular sleeve, and more glue is applied inside the sleeve to secure the bundled bristles to one end. Finally, the handle is inserted into the other end of the sleeve. Therefore, multiple applications of glue are required when assembling the bristles into the sleeve, and the bundled bristles are typically cylindrical. This results in a limited workflow and a lack of variety in the bundling shape. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a brush assembly device that simplifies the number of times glue needs to be applied when assembling brush bristles inside a sleeve, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing production costs, while also enabling the bristles to be bundled and fixed inside the sleeve according to the shape of different sleeves.
[0004] The brush assembly equipment includes a workbench (1), on which an automatic brush bristle turntable (11) and an automatic tube sleeve turntable (12) are installed. The workbench is equipped with a drive motor that drives the automatic brush bristle turntable (11) and the automatic tube sleeve turntable (12) to rotate.
[0005] Several circumferentially arranged bristle carriers (110) are installed on the automatic bristle turntable (11). Automatic bristle sorting equipment (2), feeding bristle clamping robot (3), bristle pressing device (4) and feeding bristle clamping robot (3-1) are arranged in sequence on the outer periphery of the automatic bristle turntable (11). Feeding bristle clamping robot (3-1) is located between the automatic bristle turntable (11) and the tube sleeve automatic turntable (12).

[0007] The automatic brush sorting equipment (2) cuts a large number of brushes into specific quantities and bundles. The feeding and clamping robot (3) places the brushes cut into bundles on the brush carrier (110). The automatic brush turntable (11) moves the brush carrier (110) with brushes to the station of the brush pressing device (4). The brush pressing device (4) flattens the brushes on the brush carrier (110) and the adjacent brushes to the same height. After that, the automatic brush turntable (11) moves the brushes on the brush carrier (110) to the station of the feeding and clamping robot (3-1).
[0008] The first tube sleeve loading robot (5) places the first tube sleeve from the tube sleeve feeding device (13) onto the tube sleeve carrier (121). The tube sleeve automatic turntable (12) moves the tube sleeve carrier (121) holding the first tube sleeve to the station of the other tube sleeve loading robot (5). The other tube sleeve loading robot (5) stacks the second tube sleeve inside the first tube sleeve from the tube sleeve feeding device (13). After that, the tube sleeve automatic turntable (12) moves the tube sleeve carrier (121) holding the two stacked tube sleeves to the station of the material handling and lint clamping robot (3-1). The robotic arm (3-1) picks up the bristles from the bristle carrier (110) and inserts them into the second sleeve, so that the first sleeve is used to fix the lower end of the bristle bundle and the second sleeve fixes the upper end of the bristle bundle. After that, the automatic sleeve turntable (12) moves the sleeve containing the bristles to the station where the discharge mechanical gripper (6) is located. The discharge mechanical gripper (6) picks up the sleeve and places it on the discharge conveyor belt (14) to send it to the glue applicator for glue applicator. The glue applicator injects glue into the second sleeve to fix the bristles in the second sleeve, and then separates the first sleeve from the second sleeve.

[0050] The following are the beneficial effects of the present invention:
[0051] The brush assembly equipment uses two tube sleeve feeding robots on the outer periphery of the tube sleeve automatic turntable to stack the two tube sleeves on the tube sleeve carrier. The feeding and bristle clamping robot picks up the bristles from the bristle carrier (110) and inserts them into the stacked tube sleeves. The upper tube sleeve is used to fix the upper end of the bristle bundle, and the lower tube sleeve is used to fix the lower end of the bristle bundle. At the same time, glue is applied to the upper tube sleeve by a glue applicator to fix the bristles into a bundle inside the upper tube sleeve. Then, the first tube sleeve is separated from the second tube sleeve. This simplifies the number of times glue needs to be applied when assembling the bristles into the tube sleeve, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing production costs. At the same time, it can be used to place the bristles into the tube sleeve according to the shape of different tube sleeves without having to install the bristles into a bundle in advance.

[0119] The following is the working process of the brush assembly equipment:
[0120] 1. Automatic brush bristle sorting equipment 2: After the brush bristles are cut into specific portions, the rotary cylinder 242 drives the rotary shaft 241 to rotate. The rotary shaft 241 drives the flipping seat 243 to rotate, so that the outer clamping plate 245 and the movable clamping plate 246 on the clamping guide post 244 are fitted onto the brush bristles cut into specific portions. Then, the outer plate cylinder 248 drives the outer clamping plate 245 to move, and the inner plate cylinder 249 drives the movable clamping plate 246 to move, so that the movable clamping plate 246 and the outer clamping plate 245 are aligned. The brush bristles are brought together to clamp them. Then, the brush bristle feeding lifting cylinder 222 drives the brush bristle feeding lifting frame 23 to rise, and the brush bristle feeding transverse moving cylinder 211 drives the brush bristle feeding transverse moving frame 22 to move on the brush bristle feeding transverse moving slide rail 212. Then, the rotary cylinder 242 drives the flipping seat 243 on the rotary shaft 241 to rotate, and the flipping seat 243 drives the clamping guide post 2441 to rotate 80 degrees, thereby moving the clamped brush bristles to the workstation where the feeding and clamping robot 3 is located.
[0121] II. When the brush bristle clamping robot 3 is working, the brush bristle clamping lifting cylinder 324 drives the brush bristle clamping lifting plate 33 to descend on the brush bristle clamping lifting slide rail 312, so that the lower clamping fingers 344 descend to the lower end of the brush bristles. At the same time, the upper clamping fingers 346 descend to the upper end of the brush bristles. Then, the upper clamping finger cylinder 345 drives the lower clamping fingers 344 to move closer together, and the upper clamping finger cylinder 345 drives the upper clamping fingers 346 to move closer together, so as to clamp the upper and lower ends of the brush bristles. After that, the brush bristle clamping lifting cylinder 324 drives the brush bristle clamping lifting plate 33 to rise, and the brush bristle clamping transverse moving rodless cylinder 333 drives the brush bristle clamping transverse moving plate 34 to move on the brush bristle clamping transverse moving guide post 332, thereby making the brush bristles... After the lower bristle clamping finger 344 and the upper bristle clamping finger 346 clamp the bristles, they move to above the bristle release trough 1124. Then, the bristle clamping lifting cylinder 324 drives the bristle clamping lifting plate 33 to descend, so as to place the lower end of the clamped bristles into the bristle release trough 1124. After that, the lower bristle clamping finger cylinder 344 drives the lower bristle clamping finger 344 to open with each other, and the lower push cylinder 343 drives the upper bristle clamping finger cylinder 345 to descend, thereby pushing the upper end of the bristles clamped by the upper bristle clamping finger 346 into the bristle release trough 1124. Then, the upper bristle clamping finger cylinder 345 drives the upper bristle clamping finger 346 to open with each other. The automatic bristle turntable 11 moves the bristle carrier 110 containing the bristles to above the vibration device 7.
[0122] 3. After the automatic brush carrier 11 with brush bristles is moved above the vibration device 7 by the automatic brush carrier 11, the feeding and clamping robot 3 places the brush bristles cut from the assembly bundle into the bristle release groove 1124. When the automatic brush carrier 11 with brush bristles is moved to the work position of the brush pressing device 4, the vibration cylinder 711 drives the lower inclined slide bar 713 to slide in the lower inclined slide bar 713, thereby driving the lifting block 72 to rise and fall in the lifting slide seat 712. After the lifting block 72 rises, the vibrator 723 contacts the bristle release seat 112 to drive the bristle release seat 112 to vibrate, thereby flattening the brush bristles of the brush carrier 110.
[0123] At the same time, the pressing and lifting cylinder 424 drives the pressing plate 43 to descend, so that the pressing block 433 on the pressing cylinder 432 contacts the top of the bristles on the bristle carrier 110. The pressing cylinder 432 drives the pressing block 433 to repeatedly rise and fall, thereby flattening the vibrating bristles to the same height. After that, the automatic bristle turntable 11 moves the bristle carrier 110 containing the bristles to the work station where the bristle trimming device is located.
[0124] 4. When the automatic tube sleeve turntable 12 moves the tube sleeve carrier 121, which holds two stacked tube sleeves, to the position of the shearing device, the lifting cylinder 85 drives the carrier top block 851 to rise, thereby lifting the bristle-releasing seat 112. The shearing fixing finger cylinder 821 drives the shearing fixing fingers 822 to move closer together, thereby clamping and fixing the bristles in the bristle-releasing groove 1124. The bristle-pushing transverse motor 831 drives the bristle-pushing transverse screw 833 to rotate. The bristle-pushing transverse screw 833, through its cooperation with the bristle-pushing nut 841, drives the bristle-pushing slider seat 84. The pusher slide rail 832 moves, causing the electric shearing machine 842 to pass over the feather feeding trough 1124, so that the electric shearing machine 842 pushes and cuts the bristles in the feather feeding trough 1124 to a specific length; the isolation cover 843 blocks the hair fragments that fly out when the electric shearing machine 842 pushes and cuts the bristles, while the vacuum cleaner sucks up the hair fragments in the isolation cover 843 through the hair fragment pipe 844; then, the automatic bristle turntable 11 moves the bristle carrier 110 containing the bristles to the station where the material handling and clamping robot 3-1 is located.
[0125] 5. The tube sleeve feeding device 13 vertically transports several tube sleeves to below the tube picking bar 533. The tube picking lifting cylinder 523 drives the tube picking lifting plate 53 to descend, thereby inserting the tube picking bar 533 into the tube sleeve. The tube picking finger cylinder 532 drives the tube picking bar 533 to open with each other, thereby clamping the tube sleeve. After that, the tube picking lifting cylinder 523 drives the tube picking lifting plate 53 to rise. The tube picking transverse motor 511 drives the tube picking transverse screw 513 to rotate. The tube picking transverse screw 513 drives the tube picking transverse plate 52 to move on the tube picking transverse slide rail 512 through the tube picking transverse nut 522, thereby moving the clamped tube sleeve above the tube sleeve carrier 121. After that, the tube picking lifting cylinder 523 drives the tube picking lifting plate 53 to descend, thereby placing the tube sleeve in the tube sleeve carrier 121.
[0126] The first tube sleeve loading robot 5 places the first tube sleeve from the tube sleeve feeding device 13 onto the tube sleeve carrier 121. The tube sleeve carrier 121, which holds the first tube sleeve, is moved to the station of another tube sleeve loading robot 5. The other tube sleeve loading robot 5 stacks the second tube sleeve inside the first tube sleeve from the tube sleeve feeding device 13. The tube sleeve carrier 121, which holds the two stacked tube sleeves, is moved to the station of the tube sleeve disc pressing device 4-1.

When the automatic tube sleeve turntable 12 moves the tube sleeve carrier 121 with two stacked tube sleeves to the station where the tube sleeve disc pressing device 4-1 is located, the tube sleeve disc pressing device 4-1 performs the following operations: the pressing lifting cylinder 424 drives the pressing plate 43 to descend, so that the pressing block 433 on the pressing cylinder 432 contacts the top of the second tube sleeve on the brush carrier 110. The pressing cylinder 432 drives the pressing block 433 to repeatedly rise and fall back and forth, thereby pressing the vibrating second tube sleeve into the first tube sleeve. After that, the automatic tube sleeve turntable 12 moves the tube sleeve carrier 121 with two stacked tube sleeves to the station where the material handling and clamping robot 3-1 is located.
[0128] VII. The automatic tube sleeve turntable 12 moves the tube sleeve carrier 121, which holds two stacked tube sleeves, to the station where the bristle clamping robot 3-1 is located. At the same time, the automatic brush bristle turntable 11 moves the brush bristle carrier 110, which holds brush bristles, to the station where the bristle clamping robot 3-1 is located. The bristle clamping robot 3-1 performs the following actions:
[0129] The bristle clamping lifting cylinder 324 drives the bristle clamping lifting plate 33 to descend along the bristle clamping lifting slide rail 312, causing the upper bristle clamping fingers 346 to descend to the upper end of the bristles on the bristle carrier 110. The upper finger cylinder 345 drives the upper bristle clamping fingers 346 to move closer together, clamping the upper end of the bristles on the bristle carrier 110. Then, the lower cylinder 343 drives the upper finger clamping cylinder 345 to rise, thereby pulling out the bristles from the bristle carrier 110. The upper finger clamping cylinder 345 then drives the lower bristle clamping fingers 344 to move closer together, clamping... The upper bristle gripper cylinder 345 drives the upper bristle gripper fingers 346 to move closer together to clamp the lower end of the bristles. Then, the bristle clamping lifting cylinder 324 raises the bristle clamping lifting plate 33, and the bristle clamping transverse moving rodless cylinder 333 moves the bristle clamping transverse moving plate 34 on the bristle clamping transverse moving guide post 332. This causes the lower bristle gripper fingers 344 and the upper bristle gripper fingers 346 to grip the bristles and move to above the second sleeve. Afterward, the bristle clamping lifting cylinder 324 lowers the bristle clamping lifting plate 33.
[0130] The lower end of the gripped bristles is placed above the bristle release groove 1124. Then, the lower gripping finger cylinder 344 drives the lower gripping fingers 344 to open apart, and the lower pushing cylinder 343 drives the upper gripping finger cylinder 345 to descend, thereby pushing the upper end of the bristles gripped by the upper gripping fingers 346 above the bristle release groove 1124. Then, the bristle clamping lifting cylinder 324 drives the bristle clamping lifting plate 33 to descend, placing the lower end of the gripped bristles into the second sleeve. The lower clamping finger cylinder 344 drives the lower clamping fingers 344 to open together, and the lower pushing cylinder 343 drives the upper clamping finger cylinder 345 to descend, thereby pushing the upper end of the bristles clamped by the upper clamping fingers 346 into the second tube sleeve. Then the upper clamping finger cylinder 345 drives the upper clamping fingers 346 to open together. After that, the tube sleeve automatic turntable 12 moves the tube sleeve carrier 121, which stacks two tube sleeves and places the bristles, to the station where the bristle pull-out device 9 is located.
[0131] 8. When the automatic tube sleeve turntable 12 moves the tube sleeve with brush bristles to the station where the brush bristle pulling device 9 is located, the brush bristle lifting cylinder 93 drives the brush bristle lifting cylinder 93 to rise, causing the brush bristle pulling fingers 94 to rise to the side of the outward protruding brush bristles at the lower end of the tube sleeve. The brush bristle pulling finger cylinder 92 drives the two brush bristle pulling fingers 94 to move closer together to clamp the outward protruding brush bristles at the lower end of the tube sleeve. After that, the brush bristle lifting cylinder 93 drives the brush bristle pulling finger cylinder 92 to descend, thereby pulling the brush bristles outward to the lower part of the second tube sleeve, so that the upper end of the brush bristles is at the same height as the upper end of the first tube sleeve. After that, the automatic tube sleeve turntable 12 moves the tube sleeve carrier 121, which is placed with the brush bristle tips pulled to the same height as the top of the first tube sleeve, to the station where the brush bristle pulling device 9 is located, to proceed to the next step.
[0132] 9. When the discharge mechanical gripper 6 is working, the discharge lifting cylinder 623 drives the discharge lifting plate 63 to descend, and the discharge clamp 632 clamps the tube sleeve assembled with the brush bristles. Then, the discharge lifting cylinder 623 drives the discharge lifting plate 63 to rise, and the discharge transverse motor 611 drives the discharge transverse screw 613 to rotate. The discharge transverse screw 613, through its cooperation with the discharge transverse nut 622, drives the discharge transverse plate 62 to move on the discharge transverse guide post 612, thereby transferring the clamped tube sleeve above the discharge conveyor belt 14. Afterwards, the discharge lifting cylinder 623 drives the discharge lifting plate 63 to descend, thereby placing the tube sleeve on the discharge conveyor belt 14. The discharge mechanical gripper 6 clamps the tube sleeve and places it on the discharge conveyor belt 14 to be sent to the glue applicator for glue application. The glue applicator applies glue into the second tube sleeve, fixing the brush bristles in bundles inside the second tube sleeve, and then separates the first tube sleeve from the second tube sleeve.
