Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of mechanical equipment, and in particular to a simulated pine branch dispensing mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Artificial pine branches are a type of artificial plant, a decorative craft made by imitating natural pine branches. They are often used in artificial Christmas trees and artificial potted plants to decorate and beautify the environment.

[0003] As attached Figure 1 The simulated pine branch 20 includes leaves 21 and a branch 22. In the existing manufacturing process of simulated pine branches, because they are stacked together before cutting, it is usually necessary to separate and cut the stacked branches one by one to ensure the smooth progress of subsequent processing steps. The traditional method of separating the branches involves mechanical grippers directly picking up the leaves and tearing them off, thus separating the branches one by one. However, this method has the following drawbacks:

[0004] 1. Mechanical grippers directly grasp the leaf parts, which can easily cause the leaves to be flattened or damaged, affecting the overall appearance;

[0005] 2. Since the leaves of two adjacent simulated pine branches often intertwine when stacked, if the leaves of one simulated pine branch are directly picked up by the mechanical gripper, it is easy to accidentally pick up the adjacent simulated pine branches, which will eventually lead to the failure of material separation. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a simulated pine branch distribution mechanism that can prevent the leaves of simulated pine branches from being pinched or flattened, while ensuring the smooth distribution of simulated pine branches.

[0007] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0008] A simulated pine branch separating mechanism includes: a frame, a clamping device, and a feeding device. The frame includes a base and a movable hopper, the movable hopper being disposed on the base and having a discharge area. The clamping device is disposed on the base and located on one side of the discharge area, and is used to clamp and fix the tail branches of the simulated pine branches in the discharge area. The feeding device is disposed on the base and located on one side of the clamping device. When the clamping device clamps a simulated pine branch, the feeding device is used to separate the simulated pine branch on the clamping device from its adjacent simulated pine branches.

[0009] In one embodiment, the bottom of the mobile hopper is provided with a sliding plate and a sliding drive component. The sliding plate is slidably disposed on the base and connected to the sliding drive component. The sliding drive component is used to drive the sliding plate to perform reciprocating displacement.

[0010] In one embodiment, the movable hopper has multiple storage cavities arranged sequentially, and the sliding plate has multiple discharge limiting ports, each of which is connected to a storage cavity.

[0011] In one embodiment, the feeding device includes a support plate, a linear feeding rod, an extension drive, and a feeding drive. The support plate is disposed on the base, the feeding drive is disposed on the support plate, and the extension drive is connected to the feeding drive. The linear feeding rod is connected to the extension drive. When the clamping device clamps a simulated pine branch, the extension drive is used to drive the linear feeding rod to move in the direction of the simulated pine branch, and the feeding drive is used to drive the extension drive to slide linearly, so that the linear feeding rod moves linearly between the simulated pine branch on the clamping device and its adjacent simulated pine branch.

[0012] In one embodiment, the material-feeding device includes a fixed plate, a rotary drive component, and a rotary material-feeding rod. The fixed plate is disposed on the base, the rotary drive component is disposed on the fixed plate, and the rotary material-feeding rod is connected to the rotary drive component. When the clamping device clamps a simulated pine branch, the rotary drive component drives the rotary material-feeding rod to rotate between the simulated pine branch on the clamping device and its adjacent simulated pine branches, so as to separate the simulated pine branch on the clamping device from its adjacent simulated pine branches.

[0013] In one embodiment, the rotary drive includes a rotary cylinder and a rotary disk. The rotary cylinder is connected to the rotary disk, and the rotary feeding rod is disposed on the rotary disk. The rotary cylinder is used to drive the rotary disk to rotate.

[0014] In one embodiment, a material guiding assembly is further included. The material guiding assembly includes a left material guiding component and a right material guiding component. The left material guiding component is disposed on the side of the material feeding device near the simulated pine branch, and the right material guiding component is disposed on the base. The guiding ends of the left material guiding component and the guiding ends of the right material guiding component are disposed opposite to each other. The guiding ends of the left material guiding component and the guiding ends of the right material guiding component together form a material guiding channel.

[0015] In one embodiment, a feeding device is also included, which is disposed on the base and located on one side of the clamping device. The feeding device is used to press down the simulated pine branches.

[0016] In one embodiment, the feeding device includes a lateral displacement component, a downward driving component, and a downward pressing component. The lateral displacement component is disposed on the base and is connected to the downward driving component. The downward pressing component is also connected to the downward driving component. The lateral displacement component is used to drive the downward driving component to perform lateral displacement, so that the downward pressing component reciprocates in the direction of approaching or moving away from the simulated pine branch. The downward driving component is used to drive the downward pressing component to perform a downward pressing operation on the simulated pine branch.

[0017] In one embodiment, the pressing member includes a fixed rod and multiple pressing rods. One end of the fixed rod is connected to the pressing drive member. One end of each pressing rod is sequentially spaced on the fixed rod, and the other end of each pressing rod faces the simulated pine branch. The pressing drive member is used to drive the fixed rod to perform a pressing movement, so that the pressing rods can perform a pressing operation on the simulated pine branch.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following advantages:

[0019] The simulated pine branch separating mechanism of the present invention, by setting up a frame, a clamping device and a feeding device, can fix the movable hopper, the clamping device and the feeding device through the base; the clamping device can clamp the tail branch of the simulated pine branch, thereby avoiding flattening or damaging the leaves of the simulated pine branch; at the same time, the feeding device separates the simulated pine branch on the clamping device from its adjacent simulated pine branch, thereby avoiding the leaves of two adjacent simulated pine branches from intertwining and affecting the normal dropping of the simulated pine branch on the clamping device, and at the same time avoiding separation failure, thus ensuring that each simulated pine branch can be successfully separated one by one.

[0032] To facilitate understanding of the present invention, a more comprehensive description of the present invention will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] Please combine Figures 1-11As shown, a simulated pine branch separating mechanism 10 includes: a frame 1000, a clamping device 2000, and a feeding device 3000. The frame 1000 includes a base 1100 and a movable hopper 1200. The movable hopper 1200 is disposed on the base 1100 and has a discharge area. The clamping device 2000 is disposed on the base 1100 and is located on one side of the discharge area. The clamping device 2000 is used to clamp and fix the tail branches 22 of the simulated pine branches 20 on the discharge area. The feeding device 3000 is disposed on the base 1100 and is located on one side of the clamping device 2000. When the clamping device 2000 clamps a simulated pine branch 20, the feeding device 3000 is used to separate the simulated pine branch 20 on the clamping device 2000 from its adjacent simulated pine branches.

[0034] It should be noted that during the material distribution process of the simulated pine branches 20, the simulated pine branches 20 need to be manually or mechanically stacked into the mobile hopper 1200. The side of the mobile hopper 1200 facing the base 1100 is the discharge area, and a conveyor line for the next process is set below the discharge area. The clamping device 2000 and the material feeding device 3000 are respectively set on the base 1100, with the clamping device 2000 located on one side of the discharge area, that is, below the mobile hopper 1200. After the simulated pine branches 20 enter the discharge area from the mobile hopper 1200, the clamping device 2000 on one side clamps the tail branch 22 of the simulated pine branches 20. Since the tail branch 22 is made of a harder material, it can avoid significant deformation during clamping. At the same time, compared with the existing material distribution method, it can prevent the leaves of the simulated pine branches 20 from being damaged. If the simulated pine branches are flattened or damaged, it will affect the overall appearance of the simulated pine branches 20. Then, the clamping device 2000 clamps the tail branch 22 of the simulated pine branch 20 and moves downward. At the same time, the material-pulling device 3000 is activated. The material-pulling device 3000 enters from the position of the tail branch 22 and moves above the simulated pine branch on the clamping device 2000. That is, the material-pulling device 3000 moves between the simulated pine branch 20 on the clamping device 2000 and its adjacent simulated pine branches. Through the material-pulling action, the material-pulling device 3000 moves from the tail branch 22 to the tip of the leaf 21, thereby separating the leaf parts of two adjacent simulated pine branches that are intertwined. In this way, each simulated pine branch can be separated smoothly one by one. Compared with the existing material separation method, it can further improve the material separation efficiency and reduce the damage to the simulated pine branches.

[0035] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in one embodiment, the bottom of the mobile hopper 1200 is provided with a sliding plate 1210 and a sliding drive 1220. The sliding plate 1210 is slidably disposed on the base 1100. The sliding plate 1210 is connected to the sliding drive 1220, and the sliding drive 1220 is used to drive the sliding plate 1210 to perform reciprocating displacement.

[0036] It should be noted that a sliding plate 1210 is provided at the bottom of the mobile hopper 1200. The sliding drive component 1220 is connected to the sliding plate 1210, so that the sliding plate 1210 drives the mobile hopper 1200 to move on the base 1100, so that the discharge port of the mobile hopper 1200 is located above the clamping device 2000. In this embodiment, to reduce the feeding time, the mobile hopper 1200 is provided with multiple storage cavities 1230, which are arranged sequentially. This increases the storage capacity of the simulated pine branches 20, reduces downtime for feeding, and improves processing efficiency. Furthermore, in this embodiment, four storage cavities 1230 are provided, arranged side by side. Each storage cavity 1230 has a corresponding discharge area below it. When the simulated pine branches in one of the storage cavities 1230 are fully distributed, the sliding drive component 1220 is activated, which moves the mobile hopper 1200 so that the discharge area of ​​the mobile hopper 1200 is located above the clamping device 2000.

[0037] Furthermore, the cross-section of each of the storage cavities 1230 is funnel-shaped, that is, the storage cavity 1230 includes a leaf cavity and a tail branch cavity. The leaf cavity that accommodates the leaf 21 has a larger space, while the tail branch cavity that accommodates the tail branch 22 has a smaller space. By limiting the tail branch of the simulated pine branch through the relatively smaller tail branch cavity, it is possible to avoid significant deviation of the tail branch 22, which would prevent the clamping device 2000 from successfully clamping the tail branch 22.

[0038] Furthermore, the sliding plate 1210 is provided with multiple discharge limit ports, each of which is connected to a storage chamber 1230.

[0039] It should be noted that in this embodiment, four discharge limiting ports are provided, each corresponding to one of the four storage chambers 1230. The discharge limiting ports are located in the discharge area, and their placement limits the feeding of the simulated pine branches. Specifically, the structural dimensions of the discharge limiting ports can be adaptively adjusted according to the corresponding dimensions of the simulated pine branches 20. By making the dimensions of the leaf portion of the discharge limiting port relatively smaller than the dimensions of the simulated pine branches, the discharge limiting ports can limit the feeding of the simulated pine branches, preventing them from falling directly without being clamped and secured by the clamping device 2000, thus ensuring that the simulated pine branches can be successfully distributed.

[0040] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the sliding drive component 1220 is a belt motor drive structure. Specifically, the belt motor drive structure includes a drive motor, a synchronous belt, a first synchronous pulley, a second synchronous pulley, and a belt pressure plate. The second synchronous pulley is disposed at the base 1100, the drive end of the first synchronous pulley is connected to the drive motor, the synchronous belt is connected to both the first and second synchronous pulleys, and the belt pressure plate is fixedly held on the synchronous belt, with the side of the belt pressure plate away from the synchronous belt disposed on the sliding plate 1210. When the drive motor starts, it drives the synchronous belt, the first synchronous pulley, and the second synchronous pulley to rotate. Since the belt pressure plate is fixedly held on the synchronous belt and connected to the sliding plate 1210, the synchronous belt rotation drives the sliding plate 1210 to move linearly along the slide rail on the base 1100. Thus, the stability of the linear movement of the movable hopper 1200 can be ensured by the belt motor drive structure. Meanwhile, in this embodiment, a position switch is also provided on the base 1100. The position switch can control the start and stop of the drive motor, thereby controlling the movement and stop of the mobile hopper 1200.

[0041] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the clamping device 2000 includes a lifting guide rail 2100, a lifting member 2200, a clamping member 2300, and a clamping drive member 2400. The lifting guide rail 2100 is disposed on the base 1100, the lifting member 2200 is slidably disposed on the lifting guide rail 2100, and the clamping drive member 2400 is connected to the clamping member 2300. The clamping drive member 2400 is used to drive the clamping member 2300 to perform opening and closing clamping movements, and the lifting member 2200 is used to drive the clamping member 2300 to perform lifting movements.

[0042] It should be noted that when the simulated pine branch is located in the discharge area, the gripping end of the clamping member 2300 is located below the tail branch 22. Then, the lifting member 2200 drives the clamping member 2300 to move upward to the tail branch 22. At the same time, the clamping drive member 2400 is activated and drives the clamping member 2300 to perform an opening and closing clamping motion, so that the tail branch 22 of the simulated pine branch is clamped and fixed by the clamping member 2300. Then, the lifting member 2200 drives the clamping member 2300 to move downward. At the same time, the feeding device 3000 is activated to separate the simulated pine branch on the clamping device 2000 from the leaf part of its adjacent simulated pine branch. In this way, the separation operation of two adjacent simulated pine branches can be completed.

[0043] Specifically, the lifting component 2200 includes a lifting slider 2210 and a lifting frame 2220. The lifting slider 2210 is slidably disposed on the lifting guide rail 2100, and the lifting frame 2220 is disposed on the side of the lifting slider 2210 away from the lifting guide rail 2100. The clamping component 2300 and the clamping drive component 2400 are respectively disposed on the lifting frame 2220. The sliding connection between the lifting slider 2210 and the lifting guide rail 2100 ensures the stability of the movement of the lifting frame 2220.

[0044] Furthermore, the clamping member 2300 includes a first clamping block 2310 and a second clamping block 2320. The first clamping block 2310 and the second clamping block 2320 are respectively connected to the clamping drive member 2400, and the first clamping block 2310 and the second clamping block 2320 are arranged opposite to each other. The clamping drive member 2400 is used to drive the first clamping block 2310 and the second clamping block 2320 to perform opening and closing clamping movements in a direction that moves closer to or further away from each other.

[0045] It should be noted that the first clamping block 2310 and the second clamping block 2320 use the same clamping drive component 2400, which can ensure the stability and continuity of the opening and closing clamping movements of the first clamping block 2310 and the second clamping block 2320, making the overall structure more compact.

[0046] Further, the clamping drive component 2400 includes a drive cylinder 2410, a fixing block 2420, a first chain buckle 2430, and a first connecting shaft 2440. The fixing block 2420 is connected to the drive cylinder 2410. One end of the first chain buckle 2430 is hinged to the fixing block 2420. The first connecting shaft 2440 is disposed on the lifting frame 2220. The other end of the first chain buckle 2430 is hinged to one end of the first clamping block 2310. The first connecting shaft 2440 passes through the first clamping block 2310. The drive cylinder 2410 is used to drive the fixing block 2420 to perform lifting and lowering movements, so that the clamping end of the first clamping block 2310 moves towards or away from the second clamping block 2320.

[0047] It should be noted that two upright plates are provided on the lifting frame 2220 in the area where the clamping component 2300 is installed. The two upright plates form an avoidance groove, and a fixing rod is provided between the two upright plates for further fixation. At the same time, the fixing rod can also limit the movement of the fixing block 2420. Furthermore, the first connecting shaft 2440 is provided on the lifting frame 2220, that is, the two ends of the first connecting shaft 2440 are respectively provided on the two upright plates, and the two ends of the first connecting shaft 2440 are provided with bearings. The bearings bear the steering load, thereby further improving the service life of the clamping device 2000. Similarly, in this embodiment, the clamping drive component 2400 also includes a second chain buckle 2450 and a second connecting shaft 2460. One end of the second chain buckle 2450 is hinged to the fixing block 2420, and The second chain buckle 2450 is disposed opposite to the first chain buckle 2430, the second connecting shaft 2440 is disposed on the lifting frame 2220, the other end of the second chain buckle 2450 is hinged to one end of the second clamping block 2320, the second connecting shaft 2460 passes through the second clamping block 2320, and the driving cylinder 2410 is used to drive the fixed block 2420 to move up and down, so that the clamping end of the second clamping block 2320 moves closer to or away from the first clamping block 2310. Specifically, when the drive cylinder 2410 is activated, the connecting end of the drive cylinder 2410 drives the fixed block 2420 to move up and down, so that the first chain buckle 2430 and the second chain buckle 2450, which are hinged to the fixed block 2420, can drive the first clamping block 2310 and the second clamping block 2320 to perform opening and closing clamping movements. This not only makes the overall structure of the clamping device 2000 more compact, but also ensures the stability and continuity of the first clamping block 2310 and the second clamping block 2320 during the opening and closing clamping actions. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the material feeding device 3000 includes a fixed plate 3100, a rotary drive 3200, and a rotary feeding rod 3300. The fixed plate 3100 is disposed on the base 1100, the rotary drive 3200 is disposed on the fixed plate 3100, and the rotary feeding rod 3300 is connected to the rotary drive 3200. When the clamping device 2000 clamps a simulated pine branch 20, the rotary drive 3200 drives the rotary feeding rod 3300 to rotate between the simulated pine branch 20 on the clamping device 2000 and its adjacent simulated pine branch 20, so as to separate the simulated pine branch 20 on the clamping device 2000 from its adjacent simulated pine branch 20.

[0048] It should be noted that since the leaves 21 of the simulated pine branches 20 are usually irregular, and the leaves 21 of multiple simulated pine branches are usually intertwined when stacked, if the clamping device 2000 is used to clamp the tail branch 21 of the simulated pine branches 20 directly, it is easy to tear off the adjacent simulated pine branches together, resulting in material separation failure. Therefore, by setting up the material separating device 3000, while the clamping device 2000 clamps the tail branch 21 of the bottom simulated pine branch 20, the material separating device 3000 is activated and performs the material separating operation. Specifically, the rotary drive unit 3200 is activated, driving the rotary feeding rod 3300 to rotate. The rotary feeding rod 3300 moves from the tail branch 21 of the simulated pine branch 20 to above the simulated pine branch 20. The rotary feeding rod 3300 is positioned between the simulated pine branch 20 on the clamping device 2000 and its adjacent simulated pine branches. As the rotary feeding rod 3300 continues to rotate, it rotates from the tail branch of the simulated pine branch to the tip of the leaf, thereby separating the entangled leaf parts of the two adjacent simulated pine branches, and finally completing the separation operation.

[0049] Furthermore, the rotary drive unit 3200 includes a rotary cylinder 3210 and a rotary disk 3220. The rotary cylinder 3210 is connected to the rotary disk 3220, and the rotary feed rod 3300 is disposed on the rotary disk 3220. The rotary cylinder 3210 is used to drive the rotary disk 3220 to rotate.

[0050] It should be noted that the rotating disk 3220 is used to fix the rotating material-picking rod 3300, and the rotating disk 3220 is driven to rotate by the rotating cylinder 3210, so that the rotating material-picking rod 3300 can separate two adjacent simulated pine branches. Since the rotating cylinder 3210 has the advantages of fast response, high stability and convenient installation, it can not only ensure the stability of the material-picking and separating action of the rotating material-picking rod 3300, but also reduce the manufacturing cost of the material-picking device 3000 and improve the service life of the overall device.

[0051] Please see Figure 7As shown, in another embodiment, the feeding device 3000 includes a support plate 3400, a linear feeding rod 3500, an extension drive 3600, and a feeding drive 3700. The support plate 3400 is disposed on the base 1100, the feeding drive 3700 is disposed on the support plate 3400, and the extension drive 3600 is connected to the feeding drive 3700. The linear feeding rod 3500 is connected to the extension drive 3600. When the clamping device 2000 clamps a simulated pine branch 20, the extension drive 3600 is used to drive the linear feeding rod 3500 to move in the direction of the simulated pine branch 20, and the feeding drive 3700 is used to drive the extension drive 3600 to slide linearly, so that the linear feeding rod 3500 moves linearly between the simulated pine branch 20 on the clamping device 2000 and its adjacent simulated pine branch 20.

[0052] It should be noted that the extended drive unit 3600 and the linear feeding rod 3500 are both located near the tail of the simulated pine branch 20, so that the linear feeding rod 3500 can move from the tail and perform feeding and separating operations on two adjacent simulated pine branches. Specifically, the extension drive 3600 includes an extension cylinder and a moving frame. The moving frame is slidably connected to the material-pushing drive 3700. The extension cylinder is located on the moving frame and is connected to the linear material-pushing rod 3500. When the clamping device 2000 clamps the simulated pine branch 20 and pulls it downward, the extension cylinder drives the linear material-pushing rod 3500 to move towards the simulated pine branch 20, that is, the linear material-pushing rod 3500 extends towards the tail branch and is positioned between the simulated pine branch 20 on the clamping device 2000 and its adjacent simulated pine branch 20. The material-pushing drive 3700 includes a material-pushing cylinder and a linear guide rod. The moving frame is slidably connected to the linear guide rod to ensure the stability of the moving frame. The material-pushing cylinder is used to drive the moving frame to move the linear material-pushing rod 3500 from the tail branch to the top of the leaf part, thereby completing the material-pushing separation operation of two adjacent simulated pine branches 20.

[0053] Please see Figure 8 As shown, in one embodiment, the simulated pine branch material distribution mechanism 10 further includes a material guiding component 4000. The material guiding component 4000 includes a left material guiding component 4100 and a right material guiding component 4200. The left material guiding component 4100 is disposed on the side of the material dispensing device 3000 near the simulated pine branch 20, and the right material guiding component 4200 is disposed on the base 1100. The guiding end of the left material guiding component 4100 and the guiding end of the right material guiding component 4200 are disposed opposite to each other. The guiding ends of the left material guiding component 4100 and the guiding ends of the right material guiding component 4200 together form a material guiding channel.

[0054] It should be noted that the guide end of the left guide component 4100 and the guide end of the right guide component 4200 together form a guide channel. In this way, the simulated pine branches 20 can be prevented from being significantly skewed or misaligned during the dropping process, thus avoiding affecting the normal progress of subsequent processes. Specifically, the left guide component 4100 includes a left guide frame 4110 and a left guide plate 4120. The left guide frame 4110 and the left guide plate 4120 are respectively disposed on the side of the feeding device 3000 near the simulated pine branches 20. The left guide frame 4110 and the left guide plate 4120 are spaced apart, and the interval should not be too narrow to avoid poor guiding effect on the simulated pine branches, which would result in significant skew after the simulated pine branches are dropped. At the same time, the interval should not be too wide, and should be less than the total length of the simulated pine branches 20 to ensure optimal guiding effect. In addition, a guide slope is provided on the top of the left guide frame 4110 and the left guide plate 4120; correspondingly, The right-side guide component 4200 also includes a right-side guide frame 4210 and a right-side guide plate 4220. The right-side guide frame 4210 and the right-side guide plate 4220 are respectively set on the base 1100, and the right-side guide frame 4210 is set opposite to the left-side guide frame 4110, and the right-side guide plate 4220 is set opposite to the left-side guide plate 4120. At the same time, a guide slope is provided on the top of the right-side guide frame 4210 and the right-side guide plate 4220. Since the top of the left-side guide frame 4110 and the left-side guide plate 4120 is also provided with a guide slope, the guide channel has a structure that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. In this way, the simulated pine branches 20 can quickly pass through the guide channel and fall to the corresponding conveyor line below, thereby avoiding the simulated pine branches 20 from deviating after falling.

[0055] Furthermore, in one embodiment, a groove-shaped photoelectric sensor is also installed on the left guide frame 4110, and a falling identification block is also provided on the side of the left guide frame 4110 near the groove-shaped photoelectric sensor. After the simulated pine branch 20 falls to the falling identification block, the falling identification block rotates and triggers the groove-shaped photoelectric sensor. The triggered groove-shaped photoelectric sensor controls the clamping device 2000 and the material feeding device 3000 and other components to perform a material feeding operation on the next simulated pine branch 20.

[0056] Please see Figure 9 As shown, in one embodiment, the simulated pine branch material distribution mechanism 10 further includes a feeding device 5000, which is disposed on the base 1100 and located on one side of the clamping device 2000. The feeding device 5000 is used to press down the simulated pine branch 20.

[0057] It should be noted that because the leaves 21 of the simulated pine branch 20 are irregular, the leaves will abut against the components on both sides. If the clamping device 2000 is used only to clamp the tail branch 22 and pull off the simulated pine branch 20, the leaves of the simulated pine branch 20 may be damaged due to uneven force during the pulling process, or the downward stroke of the clamping device 2000 may be limited, preventing the simulated pine branch 20 from falling smoothly. Therefore, a feeding device 5000 is set on one side of the clamping device 2000. The feeding device 5000 presses down on the simulated pine branch 20, thereby ensuring that the simulated pine branch 20 can fall smoothly after the separation operation, while avoiding damage to the leaves of the simulated pine branch 20.

[0058] Furthermore, the feeding device 5000 includes a lateral displacement member 5100, a pressing drive member 5200, and a pressing member 5300. The lateral displacement member 5100 is disposed on the base 1100. The lateral displacement member 5100 is connected to the pressing drive member 5200, and the pressing member 5300 is connected to the pressing drive member 5200. The lateral displacement member 5100 is used to drive the pressing drive member 5200 to perform lateral displacement, so that the pressing member 5300 reciprocates in the direction of approaching or moving away from the simulated pine branch 20. The pressing drive member 5200 is used to drive the pressing member 5300 to perform a pressing operation on the simulated pine branch 20.

[0059] It should be noted that after the feeding device 3000 completes the feeding and separating action of two adjacent simulated pine branches, while the clamping device 2000 clamps the simulated pine branch 20 and moves it downward, the feeding device 5000 is started. Specifically, the lateral displacement component 5100 is started first, driving the pressing drive component 5200 and the pressing component 5300 to move towards the simulated pine branch 20, so that the pressing component 5300 is above the simulated pine branch 20. Then the pressing drive component 5200 is started, driving the pressing component 5300 to press down on the simulated pine branch 20, so that the simulated pine branch 20 falls into the conveyor line below through the guide channel. In this embodiment, the lateral displacement component 5100 includes a lateral cylinder, a lateral slide rail 5110, and a lateral sliding frame 5120. The lateral cylinder is connected to the lateral sliding frame 5120. The lateral slide rail 5110 is mounted on the base 1100. The lateral cylinder drives the lateral sliding frame 5120 to move laterally on the lateral slide rail 5110. The downward driving component 5200 is mounted on the lateral sliding frame 5120. The lateral cylinder can be a pen-shaped cylinder, which has the advantage of small space occupation, ensuring that the overall device occupies little space and has a compact structure. Further, the downward driving component 5200 includes a downward sliding rail 5210, a downward sliding block 5220, and... The pressing cylinder 5230 and the pressing slide rail 5210 are mounted on the transverse sliding frame 5120. The pressing slider 5220 is slidably mounted on the pressing slide rail 5210 and is connected to the pressing cylinder 5230. The pressing component 5300 is mounted on the pressing slide rail 5220. The pressing cylinder 5230 is used to drive the pressing slider 5220 to perform a pressing motion, so that the pressing component 5300 can perform a pressing and dropping operation on the simulated pine branches 20. The pressing cylinder 5230 is a rodless cylinder. Rodless cylinders have the advantages of small space occupation and light weight, which can make the overall structure of the feeding device 5000 more compact, saving space and manufacturing costs.

[0060] Furthermore, the pressing member 5300 includes a fixed rod 5310 and multiple pressing rods 5320. One end of the fixed rod 5310 is connected to the pressing drive member 5200. One end of each pressing rod 5320 is sequentially spaced on the fixed rod 5310, and the other end of each pressing rod 5320 faces the simulated pine branch 20. The pressing drive member 5200 is used to drive the fixed rod 5310 to perform a pressing movement, so that the pressing rods 5320 can perform a pressing operation on the simulated pine branch 20.

[0061] It should be noted that there are three pressure rods 5320. One end of each pressure rod 5320 is sequentially and spaced on the fixing block 5310, and the other end of each pressure rod 5320 faces the simulated pine branch 20. In this way, when the simulated pine branch 20 is pressed down, downward pressure is applied to multiple parts of the simulated pine branch 20, thereby ensuring that the simulated pine branch 20 is subjected to uniform force and preventing the simulated pine branch 20 from being torn when it is dropped.

[0062] Please see Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, in one embodiment, the simulated pine branch distribution mechanism 10 further includes a correction device 6000, which is disposed on the base 1100 and located on one side of the movable hopper 1200. The correction device 6000 is used to correct the position of the simulated pine branches 20 on the movable hopper 1200.

[0063] It should be noted that, because the leaves of adjacent simulated pine branches in a stacked state are easily intertwined, when the clamping device 2000 clamps the tail of the bottom simulated pine branch and moves downward, other simulated pine branches adjacent to the simulated pine branch 20 on the clamping device 2000 will shift towards the tail. If the shift is too large, the clamping device 2000 will be unable to clamp the tail of the simulated pine branch, or can only clamp the leaves, causing damage or flattening to the leaves, and will also hinder the smooth distribution and unloading of the simulated pine branches 20. Therefore, a correction device 6000 is set on one side of the mobile hopper 1200, that is, on the side near the tail branch 21, the correction device 6000 is set to correct the position of the simulated pine branch 20 so that the simulated pine branch 20 returns to the initial position, so that the clamping device 2000 can smoothly clamp the tail branch and ensure that the simulated pine branch can be smoothly distributed and dropped.

[0064] Further, the correction device 6000 includes a support plate 6100, a lifting platform 6200, a longitudinal displacement member 6300, and a correction plate 6400. The support plate 6100 is disposed on the base 1100, the lifting platform 6200 is slidably disposed on the support plate 6100, the longitudinal displacement member 6300 is disposed on the lifting platform 6200, and the correction plate 6400 is disposed on the side of the longitudinal displacement member 6300 facing the moving hopper 1100. The lifting platform 6200 is used to drive the longitudinal displacement member 6300 to perform lifting and lowering movements, and the longitudinal displacement member 6300 is used to drive the correction plate 6400 to move closer to the moving hopper 1100, so that the correction plate 6400 corrects the position of the simulated pine branch 20.

[0065] It should be noted that multiple clearance holes are provided on the side of the sliding plate 1210 of the movable hopper 1200 facing the straightening device 6000. Each clearance hole corresponds to a storage hopper. The clearance holes are used to allow the straightening plate 6400 to pass through the clearance holes and straighten the position of the simulated pine branches 20. Specifically, during the position correction operation of the simulated pine branch 20, the longitudinal displacement component 6300 drives the lifting platform 6200 and the correction plate 6400 to move towards the simulated pine branch 20. At the same time, the lifting platform 6200 starts and drives the correction plate 6400 to align with the position of the simulated pine branch to be corrected. The longitudinal displacement component 6300 continues to move, contacts the tail branch of the simulated pine branch to be corrected, and pushes the simulated pine branch forward, so that the simulated pine branch returns to the initial position, thereby completing the position correction. This allows the clamping device 2000 to smoothly clamp the tail branch of the simulated pine branch, while ensuring that the simulated pine branch can be smoothly divided and dropped. This ensures the continuity of the actions of each part of the overall mechanism and improves production efficiency.

[0066] Furthermore, the lifting platform 6200 includes a lifting plate 6210, a lifting cylinder 6220, and a lifting slide rail 6230. A longitudinal displacement member 6300 is disposed on the top of the lifting plate 6210. The lifting cylinder 6220 is connected to the lifting plate 6210, and the lifting slide rail 6230 is slidably connected to the support plate 6100. The lifting cylinder 6220 is used to drive the lifting plate 6210 to perform lifting and lowering movements.

[0067] It should be noted that a slider is provided on the support plate 6100, and the lifting slide rail 6230 is slidably connected to the slider. After the lifting cylinder 6220 is started, it drives the lifting plate 6210 to move up and down. In this embodiment, the longitudinal displacement member 6300 includes a longitudinal cylinder 6310, a longitudinal moving plate 6320 and a longitudinal guide rail 6330. The longitudinal guide rail 6330 is slidably disposed on the top of the lifting plate 6210, and the longitudinal cylinder 6310 is located on the lifting plate 6210. The longitudinal cylinder 6310 is connected to the longitudinal moving plate 6320. The correction plate 6400 is disposed on the side of the longitudinal moving plate 6320 facing the simulated pine branch 20. When the longitudinal cylinder 6310 is started, it drives the longitudinal moving plate 6320 to move in the direction of the simulated pine branch, so that the correction plate 6400 pushes the simulated pine branch back to the initial position, thereby realizing the position correction of the simulated pine branch.

[0068] Furthermore, because the tail branch 22 of the simulated pine branch is relatively thin, the contact area between the straightening plate 6400 and the tail branch is small, causing the straightening plate 6400 to easily slip left and right when pushing the tail branch 22. To solve this problem, the straightening plate 6400 is made into a "V" shape. When the tail branch 22 is pushed by the "V" shaped straightening plate 6400, the tail branch is located in the middle area of ​​the straightening plate 6400. In this way, the tail branch 22 can avoid slipping and thus prevent the position from being corrected smoothly. Furthermore, in order to further improve the correction effect, multiple positioning holes 6410 are provided on the straightening plate 6400. The positioning holes 6410 are arranged in sequence. When the tail branch 20 is inserted into the positioning hole 6410, the positioning hole 6410 further limits the tail branch 20, thereby further preventing the tail branch 22 from slipping and affecting the correction effect.

[0069] The working process of the simulated pine branch distribution mechanism 10 is as follows:

[0070] 1. The simulated pine branches 20 are stacked into the storage chamber 1230 of the mobile silo 1200 by manual labor or robotic arms;

[0071] 2. The simulated pine branches 20 in the storage chamber 1230 are moved to the discharge area, and the tail branch 21 of the simulated pine branches 20 is picked up by the clamping device 2000 on one side.

[0072] 3. While the clamping device 2000 clamps the tail branch 21, the material separating device 3000 on one side separates the simulated pine branch on the clamping device 2000 from its adjacent simulated pine branch.

[0073] 4. After the simulated pine branches on the clamping device 2000 are separated, the clamping device 2000 drives the simulated pine branches to move downward. While the clamping device 2000 drives the simulated pine branches downward and gradually releases the tail branches, the feeding device 5000 starts and presses down on the simulated pine branches, so that the simulated pine branches pass through the guide channel and fall into the conveyor line below.

[0074] 5. After the simulated pine branch shifts position, the correction device 6000 corrects the position of the simulated pine branch, so that the simulated pine branch moves back to its initial position.

[0075] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of this invention patent should be determined by the appended claims.
