[0022] The following provides a more detailed description of specific embodiments of the present invention. It should be understood that the description of the embodiments of the present invention herein is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, it is the structural schematic view of the special-shaped tubular material feeding system provided by the application. The special-shaped tubular material feeding system comprises a base 10, a stock bin mechanism 20 arranged on the base 10, an angle adjusting mechanism 30 arranged on one side of the base 10, and a clamping mechanism 40 arranged on one side of the base 10. It is conceivable that the special-shaped tubular material feeding system further comprises other functional modules, such as connecting assemblies, sensors, and mounting assemblies, etc., which are known to those skilled in the art and will not be described here.

[0024] The base 10 is used to carry the stock bin mechanism 20, the base 10 is arranged obliquely, the height of the end of the base 10 close to the angle adjusting mechanism 30 is lower than the height of the end of the base 10 away from the angle adjusting mechanism 30, so that the material in the stock bin mechanism 20 is made to slide into the angle adjusting mechanism 30 by gravity.

[0025] The stock bin mechanism 20 comprises a base plate 21 arranged on the base 10, two U-shaped plates 22 arranged on the base 21, a plurality of stock bins 23 arranged between the U-shaped plates 22, two stock pushing assemblies 24 arranged on the base plate 21, and a disassembly assembly 25 arranged on the base plate 21.

[0026] The base plate 21 is provided with through holes to accommodate the stock pushing assembly 24 and the disassembly assembly 25. The opening direction of the two U-shaped plates 22 is arranged oppositely, the stock bin 23 is rectangular and the two ends are respectively located in the two U-shaped plates 22, so as to limit the position and can be stacked together. The stock bin 23 is hollow and provided with openings at both ends, and the stock bin 23 is provided with a plurality of arranged materials. The two ends of the stock bin 23 are respectively provided with a limiting pin 231, so as to fix the materials in the stock bin 23 to prevent falling out.

[0027] The stock pushing assembly 24 comprises a first air cylinder 241 arranged on the base plate 21, a material withdrawing block 241 arranged on the first air cylinder 241, and a step 242 arranged on the material withdrawing block 241.

[0028] The output direction of the first cylinder 241 is perpendicular to the extending direction of the bin 23. The material returning block 242 is located at the bottom of the bin 23. The step 242 is arranged on one corner of the material returning block 241 towards the bin 23. The bin 23 is located on the step 242. The height of the step 242 is equal to the height of the bin 23. When the material needs to be pushed, the first cylinder 241 drives the material returning block 241 to move, so that one bin 23 in the step 242 moves, and other stacked bins 23 remain in the U-shaped plate 22 and are supported by the material returning block 241. After the first cylinder 241 drives the material returning block 241 to reset, the stacked bins 23 fall into the step 242, and then the pushing is implemented again to push the material.

[0029] The dismounting assembly 25 is located at the end of the base plate 21 with low height, and is used to dismount the limiting peg 231 on one bin 23 pushed out by the pushing assembly 24, so that the bin 23 is opened at one end to discharge material. The dismounting assembly 25 comprises a fixed block 251, a material hole 252 arranged on the fixed block 251, a first two-axis moving device 253 arranged on the fixed block 251, a dismounting block 254 arranged on the first two-axis moving device 253, a second cylinder 255 arranged on the base plate 21, and a limiting rod 256 arranged on the second cylinder 253.

[0030] The material hole 252 is the same as the shape of the material and is communicated with one bin 23 pushed out by the pushing assembly 24, so that after the limiting peg 231 is dismounted, the material in the bin 23 enters and passes through the material hole 252. One end of the dismounting block 254 is connected with the first two-axis moving device 253, and the other end is provided with a groove 257 and an opening 258 communicated with the groove 257. The opening 258 is located on the side of the dismounting block 254 close to the bin 23. The first two-axis moving device 253 drives the dismounting block 254 to insert the groove 257 into the peg head of the limiting peg 231 and clamp it through the opening 258, and then drives the dismounting block 254 to move to pull out the limiting peg 231. The output direction of the second cylinder 255 is the central axis of the material hole 252. One end of the limiting rod 256 is connected with the output end of the second cylinder 255, and the other end is movably arranged through the fixed block 251 and extends into the material hole 252, so as to block the material, and continuously discharge the material when it is retracted.

[0031] The angle adjusting mechanism 30 comprises a bottom plate 31, an angle adjusting assembly 32 arranged on the bottom plate 31, a rotating seat assembly 33 arranged on the bottom plate 31, and a pushing assembly 34 arranged on the bottom plate 31.

[0032] The bottom plate 31 is used to support the above-mentioned functional modules, and is provided with various functional structures such as screws, bolts, clamps and the like to complete the mounting and assembly of the above-mentioned functional modules, which can be set according to actual needs, and will not be described in detail here.

[0033] The angle adjusting assembly 32 comprises a first electric cylinder 321 arranged on the bottom plate 31, an adjusting plate 322 arranged on the output end of the first electric cylinder 321, and a containing groove 323 arranged on the adjusting plate 322.

[0034] The adjusting plate 322 is in a fan-shaped structure. One end of the adjusting plate 322 is connected with the output end of the first electric cylinder 321, and the other end of the adjusting plate 322 is in an arc-shaped structure and is provided with the containing groove 323 on the edge. The containing groove 323 is used to receive the conveyed material, and the shape of the containing groove 323 is the same as that of the material, which is in an L-shaped structure in the embodiment. The first electric cylinder 321 can drive the adjusting plate 322 to rotate to adjust the orientation and height of the containing groove 323. During feeding, since the bin mechanism 20 is arranged obliquely, the heterogeneous material is conveyed into the containing groove 323 by the gravity sliding mode, and therefore the first electric cylinder 321 first lifts the containing groove 323 to make the containing groove 323 communicate with the material hole 252. After one material enters the containing groove 323, the first electric cylinder 321 drives the adjusting plate 322 to rotate to make the containing groove 323 horizontally arranged, so as to adjust the originally obliquely sliding material to a horizontal position.

[0035] The rotating seat assembly 33 comprises a pushing seat 331 arranged on the bottom plate 31, a second electric cylinder 332 arranged on the pushing seat 331, a rotating disc 333 arranged on the second electric cylinder 332, a stepped portion 334 arranged on the pushing seat 331 and the rotating disc 333, a first limiting plate 335 arranged on the pushing seat 331, a second limiting plate 336 arranged on the rotating disc 333, and a locking cylinder 337 arranged on the rotating disc 333.

[0036] The push seat 331 is located on one side of the angle adjusting assembly 20, and an arc recess for accommodating the rotating disc 333 is arranged on the push seat 331. The step part 334 is arranged on the same side of the push seat 331 and the rotating disc 333, one end of the step part 334 is communicated with the accommodating groove 323 when the rotating disc 333 is rotated to the horizontal position, and the other end is provided with a stop block 338. The material in the accommodating groove 323 is pushed into the step part 334 by the push assembly 34, and stops when sliding to the stop block 338. The specific pushing mode will be described below in combination with the push assembly 34. The first limiting plate 335 is arranged on the side of the step part 334 of the push seat 331, and the second limiting plate 336 is arranged on the side of the step part 334 of the rotating disc 333, so as to form a groove structure with the step part 334 to limit the position of the material, so that the material can only move along the step part 334. The locking cylinder 337 rotates with the rotating disc 333 and the output end abuts against the material. When the material is pushed to the stop block 338, the locking cylinder 337 abuts against the side wall of the material and fixes the material, and then the rotating disc 333 is rotated by 90 degrees to vertically arrange the material originally arranged horizontally, so as to facilitate the clamping of the clamping mechanism 40.

[0037] The push assembly 34 comprises a pull rod 341 rotatably arranged on the bottom plate 31, a push rod 342 movably arranged on the bottom plate 31, a cylinder 343 arranged on the bottom plate 31, and a connecting piece 344 connecting the output end of the cylinder 343 and the pull rod 341.

[0038] The pull rod 341 is rotatably arranged on the bottom plate 31 at one end and is provided with a sliding groove 345 at the other end. The central axis of the push rod 342 coincides with the extending direction of the stepped portion 334, and the push rod 342 can move along the central axis under the action of the pull rod 341. One end of the push rod 342 is slidably connected with the sliding groove 345, and the other end is used for pushing the material in the accommodating groove 323. Since one end of the push rod 342 is slidably connected with the sliding groove 345, when the pull rod 341 rotates at the rotating point of the end rotatably connected with the bottom plate 31, the push rod 342 can be driven to reciprocate along the central axis to push the material in the accommodating groove 323 into the stepped portion 334 and stop when the material is pushed to the stop block 338, thereby achieving feeding. Then the locking cylinder 33 abuts against the material, the rotating disc 333 rotates by 90 degrees, and the originally horizontally arranged material is vertically arranged. The moving direction of the output end of the cylinder 343 is parallel to the central axis of the push rod 342, one end of the connecting piece 344 is connected with the output end of the cylinder 343, and the other end is rotatably connected with the middle position of the pull rod 341, so that the linear motion of the cylinder 343 can drive the pull rod 341 to swing.

[0039] The clamping mechanism 40 comprises a second two-axis moving device 41 and a clamping jaw cylinder 42 arranged on the second two-axis moving device 41. After the material is vertically arranged by the rotating seat assembly 33, the second two-axis moving device 41 drives the clamping jaw cylinder 42 to clamp the material, and then moves to the subsequent work station. The clamping mechanism 40 should be prior art, and will not be described here.

[0040] Compared with the prior art, the adjusting plate 322 of the special-shaped tubular material feeding system is connected with the output end of the first electric cylinder 321 at one end, the other end of the adjusting plate 322 is in an arc structure and is provided with the accommodating groove 323 on the edge. After one material enters the accommodating groove 323, the first electric cylinder 321 drives the adjusting plate 322 to rotate, so that the accommodating groove 323 is horizontally arranged, thereby adjusting the originally inclined and downward sliding material to a horizontal position, and avoiding overturning the material. The locking cylinder 337 rotates with the rotating disc 333 and abuts against the material at the output end. When the material is pushed to the stop block 338, the locking cylinder 33 abuts against the side wall of the material and fixes the material, and then the rotating disc 333 rotates by 90 degrees to vertically arrange the originally horizontally arranged material. The whole feeding process has high consistency and can control the orientation of the special-shaped material.

[0041] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and is not used to limit the protection scope of the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement or improvement within the spirit of the present application is covered within the protection scope of the present application.
