The assembly process involves assembling one end of the short tubing first, followed by the other end, requiring a significant amount of space. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the above-mentioned problems by providing a long-tube circulation conveying mechanism for a urine bag and long tube assembly device that occupies a small area and can be assembled at both ends.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: The long tube circulation conveying mechanism of the urine bag and long tube assembly equipment includes a conveying line one and a conveying line two. The conveying line one is provided with a plurality of tube clamping fixtures one, and the conveying line two is provided with a plurality of tube clamping fixtures two. The conveying line one has a drive shaft one, and the conveying line two has a drive shaft two. The drive shaft one and the drive shaft two are connected by a coupling. The distance between the conveying line one and the conveying line two is less than the length of the long tube. During transmission, the long tube is in a drooping and bent state.
[0007] In the long tube circulation conveying mechanism of the above-mentioned urine bag and long tube assembly equipment, the distance between adjacent clamping fixture one is greater than the height of the bent long tube, and the distance between adjacent clamping fixture two is greater than the height of the bent long tube.
[0008] In the long tube circulation conveying mechanism of the above-mentioned urine bag and long tube assembly equipment, a support rod is provided between the first conveying line and the second conveying line. One end of the support rod is fixed to the first fixing block, and the other end of the support rod is fixed to the second fixing block.
[0009] In the long tube circulation conveying mechanism of the above-mentioned urine bag and long tube assembly equipment, the first clamping fixture and the second clamping fixture have the same structure. The first clamping fixture has a clamping groove with an open upper end. Except for the open part, the width of the clamping groove is smaller than the diameter of the long tube.
[0010] In the long tube circulation conveying mechanism of the above-mentioned urine bag and long tube assembly equipment, the first conveying line includes a first drive shaft assembly, a first synchronous belt, and a first driven shaft assembly, and the second conveying line includes a second drive shaft assembly, a second synchronous belt, and a second driven shaft assembly.

[0014] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of the long tube circulation conveying mechanism of this urine bag and long tube assembly equipment are:
[0015] First, by shortening the distance between conveyor line one and conveyor line two, the long pipe is transported in a drooping and curved state, allowing for simultaneous assembly of both ends of the long pipe. Even if the ends of the long pipe are pulled during simultaneous assembly, the long pipe remains in a relaxed state, preventing it from being scrapped due to pulling, thus shortening the assembly time by at least half.
[0016] Secondly, the shorter distance between conveyor line one and conveyor line two greatly reduces the space occupied by the assembly equipment, eliminating the need for a very large site and significantly saving enterprise costs. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0027] Example
[0028] like Figure 1As shown, the long tube circulation conveying mechanism of this urine bag and long tube assembly equipment includes a conveyor line 1 and a conveyor line 2. The conveyor line 1 is equipped with several tube clamping fixtures 3, and the conveyor line 2 is equipped with several tube clamping fixtures 33. One end of the long tube 31 is located on the conveyor line 1, and the other end of the long tube 31 is located on the conveyor line 2. The conveyor line 1 has a drive shaft 4, and the conveyor line 2 has a drive shaft 5. The drive shaft 4 and the drive shaft 5 are connected by a coupling 6. The distance between the conveyor line 1 and the conveyor line 2 is less than the length of the long tube 31. During transmission, the long tube 31 is in a drooping and bent state.
[0029] Existing conveying mechanisms typically operate intermittently. Due to inertia, long tubes are prone to swaying and tangling, affecting subsequent processes. Therefore, to maximize efficiency and convey as many long tubes as possible per unit time, existing conveying mechanisms are designed to keep the tubes straight, minimizing interference between them. A straight tube, when placed on the fixture, is less likely to tilt or sag, resulting in greater stability and easier clamping by subsequent material handling or unloading mechanisms. However, during assembly, the tube clamping mechanism simultaneously grips both ends, potentially causing the tube to be pulled and thus potentially ruined. Therefore, the two sides of the long tube are not assembled simultaneously; one side is assembled first, followed by the other.
[0030] This long-tube circulating conveyor mechanism takes the opposite approach, shortening the distance between conveyor line 1 and conveyor line 2. The long tube 31 is in a drooping and curved state during conveying, allowing simultaneous assembly at both ends of the long tube 31. Even if the ends of the long tube 31 are pulled during simultaneous assembly, the long tube 31 remains in a relaxed state, avoiding the problem of the long tube 31 being pulled and scrapped. This shortens the assembly time by at least half. Furthermore, by shortening the distance between conveyor line 1 and conveyor line 2, the space occupied by the assembly equipment is greatly reduced, eliminating the need for a very large site and significantly saving enterprise costs.
[0031] The distance between adjacent clamping fixtures 31 is greater than the height of the bent long pipe 31, and the distance between adjacent clamping fixtures 32 is greater than the height of the bent long pipe 31. The height of the long pipe 31 refers to the distance between the point closest to the ground after the long pipe 31 is bent and the highest point of the long pipe 31. Compared with the existing conveying mechanism, this essentially increases the distance between adjacent long pipes 31. The long pipe 31 is still easy to swing under the action of inertia, but because the distance between adjacent long pipes 31 is larger, the long pipes 31 are not easy to tangle and pile up together.
[0032] like Figure 1As shown, a support rod 28 is provided between conveyor line 1 and conveyor line 2. One end of the support rod 28 is fixed to the fixing block 29, and the other end of the support rod 28 is fixed to the fixing block 30. During transmission, the long pipe 31 is in a drooping and bending state under the action of gravity. When the long pipe 31 is long, it may drag on the ground. The support rod 28 can support the bottom end of the long pipe 31, thereby preventing the long pipe 31 from dragging on the ground.
[0033] like Figure 8 As shown, the pipe clamping fixture 31 and the pipe clamping fixture 32 have the same structure. The pipe clamping fixture 31 has a clamping groove 39, the upper end of which is open. Except for the open part, the width of the clamping groove 39 is smaller than the diameter of the long pipe 31. It can firmly clamp the long pipe 31, prevent the long pipe 31 from moving back and forth, and keep the long pipe 31 in a certain bent state.
[0034] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3 and 4, conveyor line 1 includes a drive shaft assembly 7, a timing belt 8, and a driven shaft assembly 9. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the drive shaft assembly 7 includes a fixed bracket 13, on which a drive shaft 4 is rotatably connected. A synchronous pulley 15 is mounted on the drive shaft 4. One end of the drive shaft 4 is connected to a drive motor 16, which is fixed to a mounting bracket 32, which in turn is fixed to the fixed bracket 13. Figure 3 , 4 As shown, the driven shaft assembly 9 includes a fixed bracket 23, on which an adjusting block 24 and an adjusting block 25 are provided. A driven shaft 26 is rotatably connected between the adjusting block 24 and the adjusting block 25. A synchronous pulley 27 is provided on the driven shaft 26.
[0035] like Figure 1 , 5 As shown in Figure 6, conveyor line 2 includes a drive shaft assembly 210, a timing belt 21, and a driven shaft assembly 22. Figure 5 , 6 As shown, the second drive shaft assembly 10 includes a second fixed bracket 17, on which a second drive shaft 5 is rotatably connected. A second synchronous pulley 19 is mounted on the second drive shaft 5. A sensing plate 20 is fixed to one end of the second drive shaft 5, and a sensing notch 21 is provided on the sensing plate 20. A sensor 22, which is a slotted photoelectric switch, is mounted on the second fixed bracket 17 and works in conjunction with the sensing plate 20. The driven shaft assembly 9 and the second driven shaft assembly 12 have the same structure.
[0036] The drive motor 16 drives the drive shaft 4 to rotate, the drive shaft 4 drives the synchronous pulley 15 to rotate, the synchronous pulley 15 drives the synchronous belt 8 to move circumferentially, thereby driving the pipe clamping fixture 3 to move. At the same time, the drive shaft 4 drives the drive shaft 5 to rotate, the drive shaft 5 drives the synchronous pulley 19 and the sensing plate 20 to rotate, the synchronous pulley 19 drives the synchronous belt 11 to move circumferentially, thereby driving the pipe clamping fixture 33 to move. The pipe clamping fixture 3 and the pipe clamping fixture 33 correspond one-to-one and move synchronously. One end of the long pipe 31 is placed into the pipe clamping fixture 3, and the other end of the long pipe 31 is placed into the pipe clamping fixture 33. The long pipe 31 moves with the pipe clamping fixture 3 and the pipe clamping fixture 33. When sensor 22 detects the sensing gap 21, drive motor 16 stops operating, and long tube 31 is located at the assembly station to perform assembly operations. When the task at this station is completed, drive motor 16 restarts. When long tube 31 moves to the next station, drive motor 16 stops operating and proceeds to the next assembly operation until the assembly operation is completed.
[0037] like Figure 1 , 7 As shown, conveyor line 1 also includes roller assembly 34, which includes roller bracket 36. An upper roller 37 and a lower roller 38 are rotatably connected to the roller bracket 36. The upper roller 37 supports the upper part of the timing belt 8, and the lower roller 38 supports the lower part of the timing belt 8. Conveyor line 2 also includes roller assembly 35, which has the same structure as roller assembly 34 and is used to support timing belt 11.
