Figure 2 The orientation or positional relationship shown is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operate in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0021] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood broadly. For example, they may refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they may refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediary. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides an automatic tube loading device for an aluminum foil sealing and capping machine, including a base plate 1, a tube loading mechanism 2, a tube pushing mechanism 3, a conveying mechanism 4 and a moving mechanism 5. The moving mechanism 5 includes a moving plate 51 and a transverse driving assembly. The transverse driving assembly includes a linear bearing 52, a linear bearing seat 53 and a cylinder (not shown in the figure). The linear bearing seat 53 is installed on the base plate 1, and the moving plate 51 is slidably installed on the linear bearing 52. The output shaft of the cylinder is transmission-connected to the moving plate, and the moving plate is pushed by the cylinder, so that the moving plate moves back and forth along the length direction of the linear bearing.

[0023] In this embodiment, the upper tube mechanism 2 includes an upper tube seat 21 and an upper tube core rod 23. The upper tube seat 21 is provided with two hose positioning grooves for placing hoses in its width direction. The upper tube seat 21 is located on the right side of the upper cover machine core rod 6 and is installed on the base plate 1 through the upper tube seat support frame 22; the upper tube core rod 23 is located on the right side of the upper tube seat and is installed on the movable plate 51 through the upper tube core rod frame 24, and is used to push the hose in the hose positioning groove onto the upper cover machine core rod; the upper tube core rod is driven to move to the left by the movable plate, and then the two hoses on the upper tube seat are pushed onto the upper cover machine core rod.

[0024] In this embodiment, the conveying mechanism 4 includes a conveyor belt and a conveyor motor. The conveyor motor is connected to the conveyor belt to drive the conveyor belt to transport the hose. The conveyor belt is driven by the conveyor motor to rotate, and the hoses arranged in sequence on the conveyor belt are transported to the panel.

[0025] In this embodiment, the tube pushing mechanism 3 comprises a panel 31, a tube pushing plate 33, a tube blocking baffle 35, and a tube dividing plate 36. The panel 31 is located to the right of the upper tube seat and is mounted to the base plate 1 via a panel support frame 32. A tube inlet and a tube limiter are located at either end of the panel 31 in the width direction. The tube outlet of the conveyor belt is located to the side of the tube inlet. The tube blocking baffle 35 is mounted on the tube limiter. The tube dividing plate 36 is mounted on the left end of the panel and is used to separate the two hoses closest to the tube blocking baffle. The tube pushing plate 33 is located to the right of the panel and is mounted to the movable plate 51 via a tube pushing support frame 34. It is used to push the two hoses on the panel closest to the tube blocking baffle into the upper tube seat. A linear bearing 52 is mounted on the linear bearing seat 53. The length of the linear bearing 52 is aligned with the length of the upper tube seat 21 and the length of the panel 31. The movable plate drives the upper tube core rod and simultaneously drives the tube pushing plate, pushing the two hoses on the panel closest to the tube blocking baffle into the upper tube seat.

[0026] The distance between the manifold plate 36 and the tube retaining plate 35 is the same as the outer diameter of the hose. Manifold plate 36 is used to separate the two hoses closest to the tube retaining plate when the push plate pushes them toward the left end of the panel. The lower surface of the panel 31 is higher than the upper surface of the upper tube seat and is also higher than the top of the hose in the hose positioning groove.

[0027] In some embodiments, the lower surface of the manifold plate 36 is tilted from high to low from left to right. This structural design reduces friction between the hose and the manifold plate while ensuring that the two hoses are separated.

[0028] The working principle of this embodiment is further described below:

[0029] The hoses to be covered with aluminum foil are transported to the panel by the conveyor belt, and the hoses are positioned by the tube blocking baffle so that the two hoses closest to the tube blocking baffle are symmetrically distributed relative to the branch plate. At this time, the movable plate moves, and at the same time drives the upper tube core rod and the tube pushing plate to move. The upper tube core rod pushes the hose in the upper tube seat toward the core rod of the aluminum foil sealing and covering machine, and puts the hose on the core rod of the covering machine. At the same time, the tube pushing plate pushes the hose on the panel, and the branch plate separates the two adjacent hoses, and drops them into the upper tube seat, supplementing the hose that has been placed on the core rod of the covering machine on the upper tube seat, ensuring that there are still hoses in the upper tube seat, and realizing the next tube loading action. Then the movable plate returns, driving the upper tube core rod and the tube pushing plate to return, and the conveyor belt continues to transport the hoses over to realize the next action. The present invention can realize the simultaneous tube loading of two or more hoses.

[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art will be able to modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or substitute equivalents for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
