[0036] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0037] First Embodiment

[0038] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 ,in, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the first embodiment of a fully automatic saliva pen inner tube feeding and detection device provided by the present invention. Figure 2 for Figure 1 The diagram shows the structure of the transmission assembly. Figure 3 for Figure 1 The enlarged schematic diagram of part A shown below; Figure 4 for Figure 2 The enlarged schematic diagram of section B is shown. A fully automated saliva pen inner tube feeding and detection device includes:

[0039] The frame 1 has two sets of transmission components 2 inside. The transmission components 2 include a servo motor 21. The output end of the servo motor 21 is connected to a rotating roller 22 through a coupling. Two drive wheels 23 are fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating roller 22. The surface of the two rotating rollers 22 is provided with a rotating belt 24.

[0040] The frame 1 has two sets of transmission components 2 inside. One servo motor 21 is fixedly connected to the inside of the frame 1, and the other is fixedly installed on one side of the frame 1. Multiple rotating rollers 22 are rotatably connected inside the frame 1 to support two rotating belts 24. The two rotating belts 24 are formed by multiple rectangular plates rotatably connected together. Chains are fixedly connected to both sides of the two rotating belts 24. The drive wheel 23 fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating roller 22 is a chain wheel adapted to the chain. When the servo motor 21 drives the rotating roller 22 and the two drive wheels 23 to rotate to one side, it drives the rotating belt 24 to move to one side. Multiple storage boxes 3 are fixedly connected to the top of one rotating belt 24 for storing the inner tubes. Multiple positioning rods 9 are fixedly connected to the top of the other rotating belt 24 for positioning the inner tubes that fall, thereby facilitating subsequent work.

[0041] Storage box 3 is disposed on the surface of the rotating belt 24. Two rotating rods 4 are rotatably connected inside the storage box 3. Torsion springs 5 ​​are sleeved on the surface of the two rotating rods 4. A baffle 6 is fixedly connected to one side of each of the two rotating rods 4.

[0042] One end of the torsion spring 5 is fixedly connected to the inside of the storage box 3, and the other end is fixedly connected to the inside of the baffle 6. The rotating rod 4 is fixedly connected to one side of the baffle 6 through two rectangular blocks. When the first push rod 7 moves to one side, it drives the baffle 6 to rotate to one side, which in turn drives the rotating rod 4 to rotate to one side, thereby causing the torsion spring 5 to retract. When the inner tube falls off, the torsion spring 5 resets, which drives the baffle 6 connected to the rotating rod 4 to reset. The baffle 6 is used to limit the inner tube, so that the inner tube placed inside the storage box 3 is in an upright state.

[0043] The first push rod 7 is disposed inside the frame 1;

[0044] The frame 1 has two first push rods 7 fixedly connected inside, which are used to simultaneously push the interior of the two inner tubes and the two storage boxes 3 to one side to move and load materials.

[0045] Positioning rod 9, which is disposed on the surface of the rotating belt 24;

[0046] A flow guide 8 is disposed on one side of the frame 1;

[0047] The guide tube 8 is an inverted conical rectangular tube. One end of the guide tube 8 is located directly above the limiting rod. After the inner tube falls into the interior of the guide tube 8, it is guided by the guide tube 8 and sleeved on the surface of the positioning rod 9. The rotating belt 24 drives the positioning rod 9 to move each time. The positioning rod 9 will stand upright directly below the bottom of the guide tube 8. The two rotating belts 24 move synchronously.

[0048] The detection component 10 is disposed on the top of the frame 1. The detection component 10 includes a second push rod 101. One end of the second push rod 101 is fixedly connected to a detection cover 102. A connecting line 103 is disposed inside the detection cover 102.

[0049] Both the first push rod 7 and the second push rod 101 are electric push rods. Object sensors are fixedly connected to both sides of the inner wall of the detection cover 102. After the detection cover 102 moves to the appropriate position, the object sensors sense whether the inner tube is fitted on the surface of the positioning rod 9, and make a judgment. This makes it convenient for the staff to know whether the inner tube is missing, so that it can be replaced, which facilitates the subsequent work.

[0050] The working principle of the fully automatic saliva pen inner tube feeding and detection device provided by the present invention is as follows:

[0051] In use, the servo motor 21 starts and drives the rotating roller 22 connected to the drive wheel 23 to rotate to one side. When the drive wheel 23 rotates to one side, it drives the rotating belt 24 to move to one side. When the rotating belt 24 moves to one side, it drives the storage box 3 to move to one side. When the storage box 3 moves to one side, it drives the inner tube inside the storage box 3 to move to one side. When the storage box 3 moves to the appropriate position, the servo motor 21 stops rotating. The two first push rods 7 move to one side and push the inner tube inside the two storage boxes 3 to move to one side. At the same time, the baffle 6 connected to the rotating rod 4 rotates to one side and the torsion spring 5 tightens. When the inner tube moves to the appropriate position, it falls into the interior of the two guide cylinders 8. After being guided by the two guide cylinders 8 to the top of the two positioning rods 9, it moves downward and is sleeved on the surface of the two positioning rods 9.

[0052] Two starter servo motors 21 rotate to drive two rotating belts 24 to move to one side, thereby moving the storage box 3 and the positioning rod 9 to the appropriate position. Then, they stop rotating and repeat the above steps to automatically feed the positioning rod 9.

[0053] After the positioning rod 9 with the inner tube in place moves to a suitable position to one side, the second push rod 101 extends to one side, causing the detection cover 102 connected to the connecting line 103 to move to one side. When the detection cover 102 moves to a suitable position to one side, it detects whether the inner tube is in place on the surface of the positioning rod 9, thus providing a prompt to facilitate subsequent work.

[0054] Compared with related technologies, the fully automatic feeding and detection device for saliva pen inner tubes provided by the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0055] This invention provides a fully automatic feeding and detection device for saliva pen inner tubes. The device moves in conjunction with a transmission assembly 2 and a storage box 3. The inner tube inside the storage box 3 is pushed into the guide tube 8 by a first push rod 7. Guided by the guide tube 8, the inner tube is inserted into the surface of a positioning rod 9 for automatic feeding. The detection assembly 10 detects the positioning rod 9 to check for any missing inner tubes. This device replaces manual feeding and effectively improves work efficiency.

[0056] Second Embodiment

[0057] Please refer to the following: Figure 5 and Figure 6 Based on the fully automatic feeding and detection device for saliva pen inner tubes provided in the first embodiment of this application, the second embodiment of this application proposes another fully automatic feeding and detection device for saliva pen inner tubes. The second embodiment is merely a preferred embodiment of the first embodiment, and the implementation of the second embodiment will not affect the separate implementation of the first embodiment.

[0058] Specifically, the second embodiment of this application provides a fully automatic feeding and testing device for saliva pen inner tubes, which differs in that the bottom of the frame 1 is fixedly connected to two boxes 11, and each of the two boxes 11 is rotatably connected to a rotating rod 12.

[0059] The two ends of the rotating rod 12 are rotatably connected to the two sides of the inner wall of the box 11 via a rotating shaft.

[0060] The rotating rod 12 is equipped with a coil spring 13 inside, and two limiting discs 14 are fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating rod 12.

[0061] One end of the coil spring 13 is fixedly connected to the inside of the rotating rod 12, and the other end is fixedly connected to the inside of the box 11. It is used to automatically reset the rotating rod 12 after it rotates to one side to wind up the connecting wire. Two limiting discs 14 are fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating rod 12 to limit the winding connecting wire 103.

[0062] The working principle of the fully automatic saliva pen inner tube feeding and detection device provided by the present invention is as follows:

[0063] In use, when the detection cover 102 moves downward, it causes the connecting line 103 to move to one side, thereby causing the rotating rod 12 to rotate to one side while the coil spring 13 tightens. When the detection cover 102 moves upward, the coil spring 13 resets and causes the rotating rod 12 to rotate to one side, thereby winding up the connecting line 103.

[0064] Compared with related technologies, the fully automatic feeding and detection device for saliva pen inner tubes provided by the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0065] This invention provides a fully automatic feeding and inspection device for the inner tube of a saliva pen. The device uses a rotating rod 12 in conjunction with a coiling spring 13 to automatically wind up the connecting wire 103, thereby preventing the detection component 10 and the transmission component 2 from squeezing or tangling the suspended connecting wire 103 during operation, which could cause damage to the connecting wire 103.

[0066] Third Embodiment

[0067] Please refer to the following: Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 11Based on the fully automatic saliva pen inner tube feeding and detection device provided in the first embodiment of this application, the third embodiment of this application proposes another fully automatic saliva pen inner tube feeding and detection device. The third embodiment is merely a preferred embodiment of the first embodiment, and the implementation of the third embodiment will not affect the separate implementation of the first embodiment.

[0068] Specifically, the third embodiment of this application provides a fully automatic feeding and testing device for saliva pen inner tubes, which differs in that the bottom of the frame 1 is fixedly connected to a box 15, a collection box 16 is slidably connected inside the box 15, and a third push rod 32 is fixedly connected to one side of the frame 1.

[0069] The frame 1 has a collection slot inside, which is used to guide the positioning rod 9, which is pushed to one side by the third push rod 32, into the collection box 16 inside the box 15 for collection.

[0070] A rotating plate 17 is rotatably connected to one side of the housing 15, and a concave handle is provided inside the rotating plate 17.

[0071] The concave handle is used to facilitate the rotation of the rotating plate 17, one side of which is connected to the hinge box 15.

[0072] The rotating plate 17 is provided with a fixing component 18 inside, the fixing component 18 includes a fixing hole 181, and a fixing member 182 is provided inside the fixing hole 181.

[0073] The fixing member 182 includes a fixing groove, a fixing pin is slidably connected inside the fixing groove, a fixing spring is provided at one end of the fixing pin inside the fixing groove, and a fixing handle is fixedly connected to one side of the fixing pin.

[0074] The housing 15 has a fixing hole 181 inside that matches the fixing pin, and the rotating plate 17 has a fixing groove inside.

[0075] Moving the fixed handle to one side causes the fixed pin to move to one side inside the fixed groove, while squeezing the fixed spring. Once the fixed pin separates from the fixed hole 181, the concave handle can be pulled to rotate the rotating plate 17 to one side to open it, making it easy to take out the collection box 16.

[0076] The rotating belt 24 is provided with a sliding component 19, which includes a sliding groove 191, and a sliding block 192 is slidably connected inside the sliding groove 191.

[0077] The sliding block 192 is a T-shaped block, the sliding groove 191 is adapted to the sliding block 192, and the third push rod 32 is an electric push rod.

[0078] Multiple rectangular blocks are fixedly connected to the top of the rotating belt 24. Each rectangular block has a sliding groove 191 inside, and a sliding block 192 is slidably connected inside each sliding groove 191. A positioning rod 9 is fixedly connected to the top of each sliding block 192. When the third push rod 32 moves to one side, it drives the positioning rod 9, connected to the sliding block 192, to move to one side within the sliding groove 191, thus facilitating the installation and movement of the positioning block 9. Two stabilizing grooves are opened inside each rectangular block, and stabilizing pins are slidably connected inside each stabilizing groove. One end of each stabilizing pin is semi-circular. Two stabilizing grooves are opened inside each sliding block 192. The stabilizing hole 311, which is adapted to the stabilizing pin, is used to move the stabilizing hole 311 to one side when the sliding block 192 moves to one side. This causes the stabilizing pin to move to one side inside the stabilizing groove while squeezing the stabilizing spring. When the sliding block 192 separates from the sliding groove 191, the stabilizing spring pushes the stabilizing pin to move to one side inside the stabilizing groove to reset. At the same time, the stabilizing pin is used to limit the sliding block 192 after it is installed, so as to prevent the sliding block 192 from moving to one side inside the sliding groove 191 when the rotating belt 24 rotates, causing a positional shift and affecting its use.

[0079] The sliding block 192 is provided with a stabilizing component 31 inside, the stabilizing component 31 includes a stabilizing hole 311, and a stabilizing element 312 is provided inside the stabilizing hole 311.

[0080] The stabilizer 312 includes a stabilizing groove, a stabilizing pin is slidably connected inside the stabilizing groove, and a stabilizing spring is provided at one end of the stabilizing pin inside the stabilizing groove.

[0081] The working principle of the fully automatic saliva pen inner tube feeding and detection device provided by the present invention is as follows:

[0082] In use, when the detection cover 102 detects that there is no inner tube on the surface of the positioning rod 9, the third push rod 32 starts to extend to one side, thereby pushing the positioning rod 9 to one side. This causes the sliding block 192 to move to one side inside the sliding groove 191, while simultaneously squeezing the stabilizing member 312 and the stabilizing hole 311 to separate. After the sliding block 192 separates from the sliding groove 191, the positioning rod 9, connected to the sliding block 192, falls into the collection box 16 inside the box body 15 for collection.

[0083] When the collection box 16 is full, move the fixing piece 182 to one side to separate it from the fixing hole 181, then rotate the rotating plate 17 to one side. When the rotating plate 17 is rotated to the appropriate position, move the collection box 16 to one side to separate it from the box body 15.

[0084] Compared with related technologies, the fully automatic feeding and detection device for saliva pen inner tubes provided by the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0085] This invention provides a fully automatic feeding and detection device for the inner tube of a saliva pen. The third push rod 32 pushes the positioning rod 9, which is not fitted with an inner tube, to move the sliding component 19 to one side and squeeze the stabilizing component 31. When the positioning rod 9 moves to the appropriate position, it falls into the collection box 16 for collection, thus facilitating its collection.

[0086] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of the present invention specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
