The first loading device 31 is connected to the moving mechanism 4, and the second loading device 32 and the third loading device 33 are both arranged on the outside of the first loading device 31 and are arranged adjacent to each other; the empty glass tubes in the first hopper 21 are in a horizontal state, and a fourth loading device 5 is provided on one side of the first hopper 21, and a fixed bracket 6 is also provided on one side of the fourth loading device 5. The fixed bracket 6 is provided with a clamping portion 61 that cooperates with the empty glass tube, and a driving device 7 is provided at the lower part of the fixed bracket 6 for driving the fixed bracket 6 to move along the Y-axis direction; the empty glass tubes in the first hopper 21 are rotated upward by the fourth loading device 5, so that the horizontal state of the empty glass tubes is converted to a vertical state with the tube mouth facing upward, and the fixed bracket 6 is driven by the driving device 7 to move the clamping portion 61 toward the direction of the empty glass tubes and clamp the empty glass tubes. The device provided by the present invention is mainly used in the electronic ticket finished product packaging module on the electronic ticket production and assembly automated production line. Since the overall shape of the electronic ticket is cylindrical and the overall volume is small, and the electronic ticket is equipped with a precision sensor chip, it is preferred to use glass tubes to stack the electronic ticket finished products to facilitate the packaging and safe transportation of the electronic ticket. Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, the fourth loading device 5 is used to load the empty glass tubes located in the first hopper 21 and fix the empty glass tubes by the clamping portion 61 in the fixing bracket 6. At this time, the empty glass tubes are in a vertical state with the tube mouth facing upward to facilitate the loading of finished products; the first loading device 31 is moved to the third hopper 23 by the moving mechanism 4 and the finished products are transported into the empty glass tubes. This operation is repeated many times so that the glass tubes are stacked with the electronic ticket finished products according to the specified number. The second loading device 32 is moved to the second hopper 22 by the moving mechanism 4 and the buffer pad is transported to the clamping portion 61 and the buffer pad is installed in the glass tube near the tube mouth.

The first feeding device 31, the second feeding device 32 and the third feeding device 33 share the moving mechanism 4 to realize basic spatial movement. Through the reasonable and compact structural layout, the equipment greatly saves the occupied space, reduces the energy consumption of the equipment, and thus reduces the production cost of the electronic ticket. In addition, Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, through the rational layout of the above-mentioned first silo 21, the second silo 22 and the third silo 23, combined with the fourth loading device 5, the first loading device 31, the second loading device 32 and the third loading device 33, the automatic loading of empty glass tubes, finished products, cushions and tube covers is realized accordingly, the transportation distance of each material is shortened, and the loading efficiency of each material is improved by increasing the loading speed of each material, thereby improving the efficiency of packaging of electronic ticket products. Preferably, the moving mechanism 4 includes a Y-axis moving device 41 installed on the workbench 1, an X-axis moving device 42 connected to the Y-axis moving device 41, and a Z-axis moving device 43 connected to the X-axis moving device 42. Through the above-mentioned moving mechanism 4, the loading mechanism 3 as a whole moves back and forth between the first hopper, the second hopper 22, the third hopper 23 and the clamping part 61, thereby realizing a series of packaging sequences such as empty glass tube loading, finished product tube loading, buffer pad installation and tube cover installation, and finally obtaining glass tubes filled with finished products, which is beneficial to the packaging and safe transportation of electronic tickets. The Y-axis moving device 41, the X-axis moving device 42 and the Z-axis moving device 43 are preferably combined with slide rails and cylinders, which have smooth and efficient movement, are beneficial to the safe transportation of various materials, thereby ensuring the packaging work of electronic tickets, and slide rails and cylinders are widely used and easy to repair and replace the moving mechanism 4.

[0037] Preferably, the first hopper 21 includes a chute rack 211 mounted on the workbench 1, the lower end of the chute rack 211 is an open end, and the fourth loading device 5 includes a flipping mechanism 51 provided on one side of the lower end of the chute rack 211, the flipping mechanism is used to convert the empty glass tube from a horizontal state to a vertical state with the tube mouth facing upward after the conversion. Further, the flipping mechanism 51 includes a first rotating device 511 provided below the chute rack 211, a first bracket provided on the upper part of the first rotating device 511, a fixed block 513 provided above the first bracket 512, and a limit block 514 provided on one side of the fixed block 513 and mounted on the first bracket 512. Several empty glass tubes are arranged and placed horizontally on the chute rack 211 and roll downward in the chute rack 211 to the limit block 514. The limit block 514 rotates upward through the first rotating device 511, driving the empty glass tube to rotate upward to a vertical state with the tube mouth facing upward. The empty glass tube in the vertical state falls and is clamped by the fixed block 513. Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, one end of the empty glass tube S placed horizontally on the chute rack 211 is an open end with the tube mouth facing the side away from the loading mechanism 3, so that the empty glass tube S can maintain the tube mouth facing upward after being flipped into a vertical state by the flipping mechanism 21, thereby ensuring the normal progress of the finished product tube loading process; the limit block 514 is installed on one side of the open end of the chute rack 211 and has a curved surface that matches the empty glass tube. As the empty glass tube rolls downward from the chute rack 211, the limit block 514 stops the empty glass tube from rolling. Then, the first bracket 512 is rotated upward by the first rotating device 511 and the empty glass tube is driven to rotate upward by the limit block 514, so that the empty glass tube is converted from the horizontal state to the vertical state. After the empty glass tube is rotated and the tube mouth is facing upward, gravity forces the empty glass tube downward and clamps it in the fixed block 513. A driving device at the bottom of the fixed bracket 6 drives the clamping portion 61 toward the empty glass tube and thereby clamps the empty glass tube. In another embodiment, a guide cylinder can be provided at the bottom of the fixed block 513 to drive the fixed block 513 toward the clamping portion 61, thereby clamping the empty glass tube. The tilting mechanism 51 is stable and ensures smooth loading of the empty glass tube without damaging it. Furthermore, the tilting mechanism 51 is simple and easy to implement. The device replaces manual labor through the combined operation of multiple automatic mechanisms, thereby improving the efficiency of loading the empty glass tubes.

Increasing the number of limit blocks 514 enhances the stability of the empty glass tube during loading.

[0038] Furthermore, the fourth feeding device 5 further includes a sliding assembly 52 disposed between the fixed block 513 and the first bracket 512. The sliding assembly 52 is used to adjust the position of the empty glass tube in the left-right direction so that the empty glass tube is aligned with the clamping portion. Since the fourth feeding device 5 is an automatic mechanical feeding device as a whole, and automatic machinery has certain errors, in order to cope with the situation where the empty glass tube is misaligned with the clamping portion 61 after being converted to a vertical state by the flipping mechanism 51, if the empty glass tube is moved toward the empty glass tube by the second driving device 7 in the case of misalignment, the empty glass tube is likely to collide with the fixed bracket 6 and be easily damaged. Therefore, the sliding assembly 52 is provided. Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the sliding assembly 52 preferably adopts a slide rail for movement, which is easy to implement, stable in operation, and has high movement efficiency. The empty glass tube is moved and adjusted in a small range in the left and right directions by the sliding assembly 52, so that the empty glass tube is aligned with the clamping portion 61, so that the clamping portion 61 can clamp the empty glass tube more smoothly, which can effectively protect the empty glass tube from damage, thereby ensuring the smooth progress of the finished product tube installation process.

The first adsorber 313 is provided in plurality and symmetrically distributed on both sides of the finished product clamp 312. The first adsorber 313 corresponds one to one with the finished product troughs 231. Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, since the finished product tube loading process requires the first loading device 31 to repeat the operation many times, in order to improve the work efficiency of the finished product tube loading, the first adsorber is arranged on the periphery of the finished product clamp 312, and the first adsorber 313 is arranged between the moving mechanism 4 and the second loading device 32 and the third loading device 33 to ensure the normal operation of the loading mechanism 3; preferably, the first adsorber 313 is preferably provided with 4 and symmetrically distributed on both sides of the finished product clamp 312, corresponding to the position of the finished product trough 231 in the third silo 23, so that the first adsorber 313 can adsorb 4 finished products at a time, and the first adsorber 313 transports the finished products from the third silo 23 to the empty glass tube through the moving mechanism 4.
