Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of cylindrical object orientation technology, and specifically relates to a high-efficiency directional conveying device for cylindrical objects. Background Technology

[0002] The main problem with bamboo utilization is that bamboo has a hollow structure, with only the bamboo wall used as raw material for processing. Raw bamboo varies in shape and size due to its growth environment. To address the processing and utilization of bamboo tubes, it is necessary to solve the problem of placement and orientation of bamboo tubes during production. In order to improve production speed, it is essential to improve the efficiency of directional conveying.

[0003] Patent CN115123783A discloses a cylindrical material directional conveying device, including a frame. At least one directional chute, open in the circumferential direction, is inclinedly arranged on the frame. This directional chute is used to convey cylindrical materials in the same direction as the length extension of the cylindrical materials. At the top of the directional chute, a hopper is provided on the frame, straddling the directional chute, along with a disturbance mechanism to drive the cylindrical materials in the hopper into the directional chute. At the bottom of the directional chute, a discharge mechanism is provided on the frame, including a discharge bin connected to each directional chute. A belt conveyor mechanism is located below the discharge port of the discharge bin, and the conveying direction of the belt conveyor mechanism is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the directional chute.

[0004] In the aforementioned prior art, the hopper slides back and forth along the directional slide under the drive of the agitation mechanism, thereby causing the cylindrical object inside the hopper to fall into the directional slide in the same orientation as the length direction of the directional slide. However, the cylindrical object only enters the directional slide when the hopper is moving downwards; no cylindrical object falls when the hopper is moving upwards. This results in the directional slide being unable to continuously convey the cylindrical object to the belt conveyor mechanism, leading to low directional efficiency. Consequently, the processing efficiency of the slicing machine downstream of the belt conveyor mechanism for the cylindrical object is also low. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in the prior art by proposing a high-efficiency directional conveying device for cylindrical objects with high directional efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the purpose of this invention, the following technical solution can be used: A high-efficiency directional conveying device for cylindrical objects, including a frame, with a set of directional slides inclinedly arranged on each of the opposite sides of the frame, and a first hopper and a second hopper respectively straddling the corresponding directional slides on both sides of the frame. The first hopper and the second hopper are driven by a disturbance mechanism to move up and down alternately along the directional slides so that the cylindrical objects therein fall into the corresponding directional slides.

[0007] The frame is also provided with a feeding mechanism and a turning conveying mechanism at the bottom of the corresponding directional slide on opposite sides. A merging conveying mechanism is provided below the discharge port of the feeding mechanism. The two ends of the turning conveying mechanism are respectively connected to the corresponding directional slide and the merging conveying mechanism, and are used to turn the cylindrical material in the corresponding directional slide and then transfer it to the merging conveying mechanism.

[0008] The frame of this invention is tower-shaped, with two sets of directional slides symmetrically arranged on both sides of the frame, which can respectively directionally transport cylindrical materials, doubling the directional efficiency. The first hopper and the second hopper straddle the directional slides, and the disturbance mechanism is used to cause the cylindrical materials in the directional slides to fall into the directional slides, achieving the directional effect. The lower end of one set of directional slides is provided with a material discharge mechanism, which is used to transfer the cylindrical materials transported from the directional slides to the merging conveying mechanism. The lower end of the other set of directional slides is provided with a turning conveying mechanism, which is used to turn the cylindrical materials directionally transported from the directional slides and then directionally transport them to the merging conveying mechanism. This realizes that the cylindrical materials directionally transported by the two sets of directional slides are finally collected in the merging conveying mechanism, and then directionally transported to the subsequent processing mechanism. This reduces the number of feed inlets that the subsequent slicing mechanism needs to set up, and ensures that there are always cylindrical materials being transported downstream on the merging conveying mechanism, thereby improving the processing efficiency of the downstream slicing mechanism for cylindrical materials.

[0009] In the aforementioned high-efficiency directional conveying device for cylindrical objects, the disturbance mechanism includes:

[0010] The slide rail and slider assembly is disposed between the frame and the first hopper and the frame and the second hopper;

[0011] A linkage structure is installed between the first hopper and the second hopper;

[0012] A drive assembly connected to the first hopper, the second hopper, or the linkage structure to drive the first hopper and the second hopper to move up and down alternately.

[0013] The first and second hoppers are slidably connected to the frame via slide rail and slider assemblies. The drive assembly drives the first and second hoppers to slide up and down reciprocally, causing the cylindrical objects in the hoppers to fall into the directional slide. In the specific operation, the cylindrical objects fall into the directional slide as the hoppers slide downwards, achieving orientation. In this solution, only one drive assembly is set to provide driving power. This drive assembly can be connected to the first hopper to directly drive the first hopper to reciprocate. The linkage structure connects the first and second hoppers, and the first hopper drives the second hopper to move in linkage. This achieves the effect of using only one drive assembly to drive the first and second hoppers to move alternately, reducing the cost of the drive unit.

[0014] An optimized linkage structure can be a pulley and cable assembly. First pulleys are installed on both the first and second hoppers. A cable passes over a second pulley located at the top of the frame and connects the two first pulleys. When the first hopper slides downwards, it pulls the second hopper upwards. When the second hopper pushes upwards, the tension in the cable changes, and the second hopper slides down due to gravity, achieving the effect of alternating up-and-down linkage between the first and second hoppers. Alternatively, a chain and sprocket assembly can achieve the same effect (the two ends of the chain are connected to the first and second hoppers respectively, and a sprocket is located at the top of the frame, with the chain looping around it).

[0015] In this scheme, the actuator of the linkage structure can be either a linear actuator or a circumferential actuator.

[0016] Alternatively, in the aforementioned high-efficiency directional conveying device for cylindrical objects, the disturbance mechanism includes:

[0017] The slide rail and slider assembly is disposed between the frame and the first hopper and the frame and the second hopper;

[0018] At least one first linear drive is disposed between the frame and the first hopper;

[0019] At least one second linear drive is disposed between the frame and the second hopper;

[0020] Both the first linear driver and the second linear driver are connected to a control module, which is used to alternately start the first linear driver and the second linear driver.

[0021] As a parallel scheme for the drive components, the first hopper and the second hopper achieve reciprocating motion through a set of first linear drivers and a set of second linear drivers, respectively, which has a stable and reliable driving effect, and there is no mutual interference, so they can work independently.

[0022] In the aforementioned high-efficiency directional conveying device for cylindrical objects, the steering conveying mechanism includes:

[0023] Rotate the perforated roller connected to the frame;

[0024] Rotation drive assembly for driving the perforated roller to rotate;

[0025] A reverse conveyor channel located below the directional slide and in the opposite direction to the directional slide on the same side;

[0026] The porous roller has several sets of circumferentially arranged transfer holes distributed axially. These transfer holes are used to receive cylindrical objects from the directional slide and convey them to the reverse conveyor.

[0027] The cylindrical material conveyed by the directional slide is transferred to the reverse conveyor via a perforated roller. The cylindrical material enters the perforated roller and is carried onto the reverse conveyor. The perforated roller has transfer holes that connect with both the directional slide and the reverse conveyor, allowing the cylindrical material output from the directional slide to enter the transfer holes. Driven by a rotation drive assembly, the roller rotates, carrying the cylindrical material onto the reverse conveyor, thus achieving the transfer effect.

[0028] In the above-mentioned high-efficiency directional conveying device for cylindrical objects, the transfer holes are blind holes, which are evenly opened radially from the center on the peripheral wall of the porous roller. The inner diameter of the transfer holes is larger than the outer diameter of the cylindrical object, and the depth is equal to or greater than the length of the cylindrical object.

[0029] The transfer hole that connects with the directional slide is inclined, and the inclination angle is the same as the inclination angle of the directional slide.

[0030] The transfer holes are blind holes, allowing cylindrical objects to enter and remain inside. These holes are arranged radially from the center of the perforated roller, allowing them to alternately engage with the directional slide and reverse conveyor as the roller rotates, improving transfer efficiency. The inner diameter of the transfer holes is larger than that of the cylindrical object, ensuring smooth entry and exit. Because the gap between the perforated roller and the directional slide is very small, the depth of the transfer holes is greater than or equal to that of the cylindrical object, ensuring it doesn't protrude after entering and thus avoids colliding with the directional slide during rotation, preventing disruption to the transfer process. The transfer holes and directional slides are aligned at the same angle (i.e., when the transfer hole engages with the directional slide, the directional slide is also on the extension line of the transfer hole), ensuring the cylindrical object slides smoothly from the directional slide into the transfer hole until it abuts against the bottom surface of the transfer hole.

[0031] In the above-mentioned high-efficiency directional conveying device for cylindrical objects, the reverse conveying channel includes a side frame and a conveyor belt assembly. The side frame is fixed on the frame, and the conveyor belt assembly is fixed on the frame. One end of the conveyor belt assembly is connected to the merging conveying mechanism, and the other end is connected to the transfer hole through a connecting component. The conveyor belt assembly is used to convey the cylindrical object output from the far end of the directional slide to the merging conveying mechanism at the other end.

[0032] The connecting component is fixed on the frame or side frame and includes an inclined, circumferentially open connecting slide. The two ends of the connecting slide are respectively connected to the conveyor belt assembly and the transfer hole.

[0033] The reverse conveyor and the connected directional slide have roughly opposite conveying directions. The transfer belt assembly is mounted on the frame via a side frame. The conveyor belt assembly is common knowledge and will not be elaborated upon. The connecting assembly connects the transfer hole of the perforated roller and the reverse conveyor, ensuring that the cylindrical object slides smoothly from the transfer hole onto the reverse conveyor. The connecting assembly can be fixed to the frame or the side frame of the reverse conveyor. To achieve this fixing function, the connecting slide corresponds one-to-one with the reverse conveyor and the transfer hole, enabling the connecting conveying of the cylindrical object transferred from each transfer hole. The circumferentially open connecting slide ensures that even if the cylindrical object is slightly thrown out during the rotation of the perforated roller, it will not be blocked by the connecting slide. Optimally, the connecting slide is inclined, and the inclination angle is adapted to the inclination angle of the transfer hole it connects to, ensuring that the cylindrical object slides smoothly and stably from the transfer hole onto the connecting slide.

[0034] In an optimized configuration, a number of dividing strips are fixedly provided on the conveying surface of the conveyor belt assembly in the direction of extension, and the dividing strips divide the conveying surface of the conveyor belt assembly into a number of directional conveying channels.

[0035] The separator is fixedly installed along the length of the conveyor surface, dividing the conveyor surface into several directional conveying channels. The number of these directional conveying channels is the same as the number of directional slides, so that the cylindrical objects are still conveyed directionally on the conveyor belt assembly, which facilitates subsequent merging.

[0036] In the above-mentioned high-efficiency directional conveying device for cylindrical objects, the frame is provided with a sleeve detection mechanism for detecting abnormalities in the sleeves of cylindrical objects, and an abnormality rejection mechanism for rejecting the sleeve material when an abnormality is detected.

[0037] The sleeve detection mechanism includes a material blocking unit and a detection unit. The material blocking unit is mounted on a directional slide and is used to block cylindrical materials and control them to slide down one by one. The detection unit is used to detect whether cylindrical materials actually slide down after the material blocking unit makes a material release action in order to determine whether there is a sleeve abnormality. The detection unit is located downstream of the material blocking unit.

[0038] The cylindrical materials are guided in the directional slide and slide down the slide under gravity in the direction of length extension, meaning adjacent cylindrical materials are connected end to end. Therefore, when the size difference between two adjacent cylindrical materials is greater than a certain level, one cylindrical material may overlay another. An insertion detection mechanism is installed on the directional slide to detect this interlocking. An anomaly rejection mechanism is used to promptly reject the problematic material when an insertion anomaly is detected between two cylindrical materials. The material blocking unit controls the sequential sliding of the cylindrical materials by blocking or releasing them. The detection unit is located downstream of the material blocking unit to detect whether the cylindrical material actually slides down when released, thus determining whether an insertion problem has occurred between the current cylindrical material and the next cylindrical material.

[0039] In the above-mentioned high-efficiency directional conveying device for cylindrical materials, the material blocking unit includes a gantry frame fixed on the frame. A first locking component, a second locking component, and a third locking component are raised and lowered on the gantry frame and perpendicular to the directional slide. The first locking component, the second locking component, and the third locking component are arranged sequentially along the conveying direction of the cylindrical material. The second locking component and the third locking component alternately block or release the cylindrical material in the directional slide. The first locking component is used to block the material behind the two inserted cylindrical materials when it is necessary to remove the inserted cylindrical materials.

[0040] The first positioning component includes a first top pressure rod that corresponds one-to-one with the directional slide rail, and at least one first lifting driver for driving each first top pressure rod to rise and fall.

[0041] The second locking component includes a second top pressure rod that corresponds one-to-one with the directional slide rail, and at least one second lifting driver for driving each second top pressure rod to rise and fall synchronously.

[0042] The third positioning component includes positioning plates that correspond one-to-one with the directional slides, and at least one third lifting driver for driving each positioning plate to rise and fall synchronously.

[0043] The first, second, and third locking components are perpendicular to the directional slide. When extended, they block or press against the material to prevent it from sliding down; when retracted, they release the material to allow it to slide down. The first locking component is located upstream of the three locking components. Its main function is to press against the third cylindrical material during material removal, ensuring that when both the second and third locking components are retracted, only the first two cylindrical materials involved in the insertion are removed, preventing subsequent cylindrical materials from sliding down. Specifically, a first lifting driver lowers the first pressing rod located at the output end, pressing the cylindrical material against the directional slide to prevent it from sliding down. The second locking component is located midway between the three locking components. Specifically, a second lifting driver lowers the second pressing rod located at the output end, pressing the cylindrical material against the directional slide to prevent it from sliding down. The third locking component is located downstream of the three locking components. Specifically, a third lifting driver lowers the locking plate located at the output end, blocking the directional slide to prevent it from sliding down. A gantry frame is fixedly mounted on the machine frame, spanning the directional slide rail. The first, second, and third lifting actuators are fixedly mounted on this gantry frame, achieving the effect of the first, second, and third lifting actuators being vertically suspended on the directional slide rail. During normal sequential release of cylindrical objects, the first lifting actuator remains retracted, the second lifting actuator extends, and the third lifting actuator retracts, releasing the first cylindrical object and allowing it to slide down.

[0044] In the optimized configuration, the distance between the first and second top-pressing rods, and the distance between the second top-pressing rod and the material-stopping plane of the positioning plate, are equal to or slightly greater than the length of the cylindrical material. This ensures that, under normal circumstances, the first top-pressing rod, the second top-pressing rod, and the positioning plate act on three adjacent cylindrical materials respectively.

[0045] In the above-mentioned high-efficiency directional conveying device for cylindrical objects, the detection unit corresponds one-to-one with the directional slide, the freely rotatable stop bar, and the sensing component for detecting the rotation of the stop bar.

[0046] The stop lever is rotatably connected to the mounting frame, which straddles the directional slide and is fixedly connected to the frame at both ends. The lower end of the stop lever rests on the conveying path along the conveying direction of the cylindrical material.

[0047] The sensing component is fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket and located on one side of the rotation plane of the stop lever, within the rotation range of the stop lever.

[0048] The mounting bracket is fixed between the frames and spans the directional slide, providing conditions for the corresponding installation of the deflector bars and sensing components above the directional slide. The deflector bars are rotatably connected to the frame, and their lower ends rest on the conveying path. At the same time, the deflector bars are in the same direction of inclination as the directional slide. When the cylindrical material slides down, it will push against the deflector bars, forcing them to rotate. The sensing components detect this rotation to determine whether there is cylindrical material sliding over.

[0049] In the optimized configuration, the stop lever has a longer section near its rotation axis and a shorter section on the other side, with the sensing component located on one side of the rotation surface of the shorter section.

[0050] The deflector lever is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket. It is rotatably split from the axis of rotation, with the lower section being longer than the upper section. This ensures that the lower section always tends to rest in the directional slide below, meaning that it can automatically reset after being rotated by the cylindrical material. The sensing component is located on one side of the shorter section. Since the shorter section is in an upward angle, it is convenient to install the sensing component. The sensing component is located on one side of the rotating surface.

[0051] In the above-mentioned high-efficiency directional conveying device for cylindrical objects, the abnormal rejection mechanism includes a rejection chute and a second overturning drive assembly. The rejection chute is rotatably connected to a rotating shaft. The rejection chute has a directional conveying position that forms part of the directional chute, and a rejection position that is overturned by the overturning drive assembly so that the abnormal insert material leaves the directional chute.

[0052] The material rejection chute is rotatably connected to the frame via a rotating shaft. The second tilting drive assembly is located between the material rejection chute and the frame. When no material rejection is being performed, the second tilting drive assembly supports the material rejection chute. The material rejection chute and the upper and lower sections of the upper and lower directional chutes are smoothly connected to form a directional conveying position, ensuring the smooth conveying of cylindrical materials. When material rejection is being performed, the second tilting drive assembly retracts, causing the material rejection chute to rotate smoothly to form a rejection position, so as to knock down and reject the inserted cylindrical materials.

[0053] In the optimized configuration, the first linear actuator, the second linear actuator, the first lifting actuator, the second lifting actuator, and the third lifting actuator can be linear actuators such as electric cylinders or pneumatic cylinders; the first tilting drive assembly, the rotation drive assembly, and the second tilting drive assembly can be drivers such as motors; and the sensing assembly can be sensing devices such as magnetic induction switches.

[0054] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0055] 1. Two sets of directional slides are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the frame, which can alternately carry out directional conveying of cylindrical objects, doubling the directional efficiency.

[0056] 2. A feeding mechanism is provided at the lower end of one set of directional chutes to transfer the cylindrical material conveyed by the directional chutes to the merging conveyor mechanism; a turning conveyor mechanism is provided at the lower end of the other set of directional chutes to turn the cylindrical material conveyed by the directional chutes and then directionally convey it to the merging conveyor mechanism. This allows the cylindrical materials conveyed by the two sets of directional chutes to finally converge in the merging conveyor mechanism, which then directionally conveys them to the subsequent processing mechanism. This reduces the number of feed inlets required by the subsequent slicing mechanism and ensures that there is always cylindrical material being conveyed downstream on the merging conveyor mechanism, thereby improving the processing efficiency of the downstream slicing mechanism for cylindrical materials.

[0057] 3. The cylindrical material is guided in the directional slide and slides down the directional slide under the action of gravity. The sliding direction is the length extension direction, that is, the ends of adjacent cylindrical materials are connected. Therefore, when the size difference between two adjacent cylindrical materials is greater than a certain degree, one cylindrical material may be wrapped around the other. The present invention is equipped with a nesting detection mechanism on the directional slide to detect such nesting. The abnormal rejection mechanism is used to promptly reject the problematic material when an abnormal nesting is detected between two cylindrical materials.

[0058] 4. The detection unit detects material passage through a mechanical structure. Specifically, the baffle rod is rotatably connected to the frame, and its lower end rests on the conveying path. At the same time, the baffle rod is in the same direction of inclination as the directional slide. When the cylindrical material slides down, it will push against the baffle rod, forcing the baffle rod to rotate. The sensing component detects this rotation to determine whether there is cylindrical material passing by. It is less affected by environmental dust.

[0059] 5. The material rejection chute is rotatably connected to the frame via a rotating shaft. The second tilting drive assembly is located between the material rejection chute and the frame. When no material rejection is being performed, the second tilting drive assembly supports the material rejection chute. The material rejection chute and the upper and lower sections of the directional chute on the upper and lower sides are smoothly connected to form a directional conveying position, ensuring the smooth conveying of cylindrical materials. When material rejection is performed, the second tilting drive assembly retracts, causing the material rejection chute to tilt and rotate to form a material rejection position, so as to knock down and reject the inserted cylindrical materials, resulting in a good material rejection effect.

[0060] 6. The connecting assembly is used to connect the transfer hole and the reverse conveyor of the perforated roller, ensuring that the cylindrical object slides smoothly from the transfer hole to the reverse conveyor. The circumferentially open connecting slide ensures that even if the cylindrical object is slightly thrown out when the perforated roller rotates, it will not be blocked by the connecting slide.

[0061] 7. The first hopper and the second hopper are slidably connected to the frame via slide rail slider assemblies. The drive assembly is used to drive the first hopper and the second hopper to slide up and down alternately, so as to cause the cylindrical object in the hopper to fall into the directional slide. In the specific operation, the cylindrical object falls into the directional slide when the hopper slides down, thus achieving orientation. Only one set of drive is set to provide driving power. This drive is connected to the first hopper and directly drives the first hopper to reciprocate. The linkage structure connects the first hopper and the second hopper. The first hopper drives the second hopper to move in linkage. This achieves the effect of driving the first hopper and the second hopper with only one set of drive, reducing the cost of the drive.

[0062] 8. The perforated roller has transfer holes that connect with the directional slide and the reverse conveyor. Cylindrical objects output from the directional slide can enter the transfer holes and then rotate under the drive of the rotation drive assembly, carrying the cylindrical objects to the reverse conveyor, thus achieving the transfer effect. The transfer holes are blind holes, allowing the cylindrical objects to enter and remain inside. The transfer holes are arranged radially on the perforated roller, so that each transfer hole can alternately connect with the directional slide and the reverse conveyor when the roller rotates, improving transfer efficiency. The inner diameter of the transfer holes is larger than that of the cylindrical objects, ensuring that the cylindrical objects can smoothly enter and exit the transfer holes. Because the connection distance between the perforated roller and the directional slide is very small, the depth of the transfer holes is greater than or equal to that of the cylindrical objects, ensuring that the cylindrical objects do not protrude after entering the transfer holes and will not collide with the directional slide during rotation, thus affecting the transfer. The transfer holes and the directional slide are at the same inclination when connected, ensuring that the cylindrical objects slide smoothly from the directional slide into the transfer holes until they abut against the bottom surface of the transfer holes.

Detailed Implementation

[0077] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0078] Specific implementation examples Figures 1-13As shown, this high-efficiency directional conveying device for cylindrical objects includes a frame 1. On each of the opposite sides of the frame 1, a set of directional slides 13 are inclinedly arranged. On each side of the frame 1, a first hopper 11 and a second hopper 12 are respectively provided and straddled on the corresponding directional slides 13. The first hopper 11 and the second hopper 12 are driven by a disturbance mechanism 2 to move up and down along the directional slides alternately so that the cylindrical objects therein fall into the corresponding directional slides 13.

[0079] The frame 1 is also provided with a feeding mechanism 4 and a turning conveying mechanism 5 at the bottom of the corresponding directional slide 13 on opposite sides. The feeding mechanism 4 is provided with a merging conveying mechanism 3 below the discharge port 45. The two ends of the turning conveying mechanism 5 are respectively connected to the corresponding directional slide 13 and the merging conveying mechanism 3, and are used to turn the cylindrical object in the corresponding directional slide 13 and then transfer it to the merging conveying mechanism 3.

[0080] Specifically, the frame 1 of the present invention is tower-shaped, and two sets of directional slides 13 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the frame 1, which can respectively directionally transport cylindrical objects, doubling the directional efficiency; the first hopper 11 and the second hopper 12 straddle the directional slides 13, and the disturbance mechanism 2 is used to cause the cylindrical objects in the directional slides 13 to fall into the directional slides 13, thereby achieving the directional effect; a material discharge mechanism 4 is provided at the lower end of one set of directional slides 13, which is used to transfer the cylindrical objects transported from the directional slides 13 to the merging conveying mechanism 3; a turning conveying mechanism 5 is provided at the lower end of the other set of directional slides 13, which is used to turn the cylindrical objects directionally transported down from the directional slides 13 and then directionally transport them to the merging conveying mechanism 3, so that the cylindrical objects directionally transported by the two sets of directional slides 13 finally converge into the merging conveying mechanism 3, and are directionally transported to the subsequent processing mechanism by the merging conveying mechanism 3, reducing the number of feed inlets that need to be set in the subsequent mechanism.

[0082] The slide rail slider assembly 21 is disposed between the frame 1 and the first hopper 11 and the frame 1 and the second hopper 12;

[0083] At least one first linear drive 22 is disposed between the frame 1 and the first hopper 11;

[0084] At least one second linear drive 23 is disposed between the frame 1 and the second hopper 12;

[0085] Both the first linear driver 22 and the second linear driver 23 are connected to the control module, which is used to alternately start the first linear driver 22 and the second linear driver 23.

[0086] Specifically, the first hopper 11 and the second hopper 12 are slidably connected to the frame 1 via the slide rail slider assembly 21. The drive assembly is used to drive the first hopper 11 and the second hopper 12 to slide up and down reciprocally, so as to cause the cylindrical object in the hopper to fall into the directional slide rail 13. In the specific operation, the cylindrical object falls into the directional slide rail 13 when the hopper slides down, thus achieving orientation. The first hopper 11 and the second hopper 12 are reciprocated by a set of first linear actuators 22 and a set of second linear actuators 23, respectively, which have a stable and reliable driving effect and do not interfere with each other, and can work independently.

[0087] As an optimization of this embodiment, the slide rail slider assembly 21 consists of a slide rail and a slider. The slide rail is fixed on the frame 1 and located on both sides of the directional slide 13. The length direction of the slide rail is the same as the length direction of the inner directional slide 13. The slider is fixed to the bottom of the first hopper 11 and the second hopper 12. The slider engages with the slide rail to form a fit. The distance between the bottom edge of the first hopper 11 and the second hopper 12 and the upper edge of the directional slide 13 is smaller than the diameter of the cylindrical object, and the distance between them and the inner bottom surface of the directional slide 13 is larger than the diameter of the cylindrical object.

[0088] As an optimization, the disturbance mechanism 2 also includes a pushing assembly located below the directional slide 13. The pushing assembly includes at least one pushing linear driver fixed on the frame 1. The output end of the pushing linear driver is fixed with a pushing rod corresponding to the directional slide 13. Each directional slide 13 is provided with a through hole for the pushing rod to pass through and push the cylindrical object stuck in the directional slide 13, the first hopper 11, or the second hopper 12, so as to cause the cylindrical object to fall into the directional slide 13 and be oriented.

[0089] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 10As shown, the feeding mechanism 4 includes: a discharge bin 41 connected to the directional chute 13; a merging conveyor 3 located below the discharge port 45 of the discharge bin 41; the merging conveyor 3 including a belt conveyor assembly 31, the conveying direction of which is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the directional chute 13; a baffle plate 42, which is vertically fixed on the frame 1 and located at the end of the discharge bin 41 away from the directional chute 13; a pressure sensor located on the side of the baffle plate 42 facing the discharge bin 41, used to monitor the presence or absence of cylindrical material in the discharge bin 41; and a discharge plate 4. 3. The feeding plate 43 is flipped and installed at the discharge port 45 of the discharge bin 41, and is hinged to one side of the discharge bin 41. It has a receiving position for blocking the discharge port 45 and a discharge position for opening the discharge port 45. The first flipping drive assembly 44 is used to control the flipping of the feeding plate 43, and the flipping direction is perpendicular to the length direction of the cylindrical object. The discharge control unit is connected to the pressure sensor and the first flipping drive assembly 44. The discharge control unit is used to receive the output signal of the pressure sensor and control the first flipping drive assembly 44 to work according to the output signal.

[0090] Specifically, the discharge bin 41 corresponds one-to-one with the directional chute 13. The cylindrical object slides down the directional chute 13 and enters the discharge bin 41. It then falls from the discharge port 45 of the discharge bin 41 onto the belt conveyor assembly 31 of the merging conveyor mechanism 3. The conveying direction is perpendicular to the direction of the directional chute 13, meaning the cylindrical object is conveyed horizontally on the belt conveyor assembly 31, resulting in greater conveying capacity. A baffle plate 42 stands vertically at one end of the discharge bin 41 to block the cylindrical object sliding down the directional chute 13, providing a positioning effect. The cylindrical object rests against the baffle plate 42, and a pressure sensor is installed on this surface to detect pressure changes and determine if a cylindrical object is present in the discharge bin 41. The discharge plate 43 is located at the discharge port 45 and is hinged to ensure it can be flipped. The flipping direction is perpendicular to the length of the cylindrical object, ensuring that the orientation of the cylindrical object is not disrupted during release. When the feeding plate 43 returns to its horizontal position, it blocks the discharge port 45, forming a receiving position. When the feeding plate 43 flips downward, it opens the discharge port 45, forming a discharge position for the cylindrical object to fall and be released. The feeding control unit is connected to the pressure sensor and the first flipping drive assembly 44. By receiving the signal from the pressure sensor, it controls the first flipping drive assembly 44 to achieve the effect of controlling the release of the cylindrical object in the discharge bin 41. After receiving a large pressure signal from the pressure sensor, the feeding control unit controls the first flipping drive assembly 44 to flip the feeding plate 43 downward, and the cylindrical object falls from the discharge position of the discharge port 45.

[0091] As an optimization of this embodiment, the belt conveyor assembly 31 includes at least two belt conveyor units connected sequentially along the conveying direction, and the conveying speed of each belt conveyor unit decreases along the conveying direction, thereby reducing the spacing between the cylindrical objects and making the conveying more compact.

[0092] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figures 11-13 As shown, the steering and conveying mechanism 5 includes a perforated roller 51 rotatably connected to the frame 1; a rotation drive assembly 52 rotatably connected to the frame 1; and a reverse conveying channel 53 located below the directional slide 13 and opposite to the conveying direction of the directional slide on the same side. The perforated roller 51 has several sets of circumferentially arranged transfer holes 54 axially distributed on it. These transfer holes 54 are used to receive cylindrical objects from the directional slide 13 and convey them to the reverse conveying channel 53. The transfer holes 54 are blind holes, radially and uniformly arranged on the peripheral wall of the perforated roller 51. The inner diameter of the transfer holes 54 is larger than the outer diameter of the cylindrical object, and the depth is equal to or greater than the length of the cylindrical object. The transfer holes 54 that connect with the directional slide 13 are inclined, and the inclination angle is consistent with the inclination angle of the directional slide 13. The reverse conveyor 53 includes a side frame 55 and a conveyor belt assembly 56. The side frame 55 is fixed on the frame 1, and the conveyor belt assembly 56 is fixed on the frame 1. One end of the conveyor belt assembly 56 is connected to the merging conveyor mechanism 3, and the other end is connected to the transfer hole 54 through the connecting assembly 57. The conveyor belt assembly 56 is used to convey the cylindrical object output from the far end of the directional slide 13 to the merging conveyor mechanism 3 at the other end. The connecting assembly 57 is fixed on the frame 1 or the side frame 55 and includes an inclined, circumferentially open connecting slide 58. Both ends of the connecting slide 58 are respectively connected to the conveyor belt assembly 56 and the transfer hole 54.

[0093] Specifically, the cylindrical material conveyed by the directional slide 13 is transferred to the reverse conveyor 53 via the perforated roller 51. The cylindrical material enters the perforated roller 51 and is carried onto the reverse conveyor 53 by the roller. The perforated roller 51 has transfer holes 54 that connect with both the directional slide 13 and the reverse conveyor 53, allowing the cylindrical material output from the directional slide 13 to enter the transfer holes 54. Driven by the rotation drive assembly 52, the roller rotates, carrying the cylindrical material onto the reverse conveyor 53, thus achieving the transfer effect. The transfer holes 54 are blind holes, allowing the cylindrical material to enter and remain within them. The transfer holes 54 are arranged radially on the perforated roller 51, so that as the roller rotates, each transfer hole 54 can alternately connect with the directional slide 13 and the reverse conveyor 53, improving transfer efficiency. The inner diameter of the transfer hole 54 is larger than that of the cylindrical object, ensuring that the cylindrical object can smoothly enter and exit the transfer hole 54. Since the gap between the porous roller 51 and the directional slide 13 is very small, the depth of the transfer hole 54 is greater than or equal to that of the cylindrical object, ensuring that the cylindrical object does not protrude after entering the transfer hole 54, and thus will not collide with the directional slide 13 during rotation, affecting the transfer. The transfer hole 54 and the directional slide 13 are in the same inclined state when they are connected, ensuring that the cylindrical object can smoothly slide from the directional slide 13 into the transfer hole 54 until it abuts against the bottom surface of the transfer hole 54.

[0094] Furthermore, the reverse conveyor 53 and the connected directional slide 13 have roughly opposite conveying directions. The transfer belt assembly is mounted on the frame 1 via the side frame 55. The connecting assembly 57 connects the transfer hole 54 of the perforated roller 51 and the reverse conveyor 53, ensuring that the cylindrical object slides smoothly from the transfer hole 54 onto the reverse conveyor 53. The connecting assembly 57 can be fixed to the frame 1 or the side frame 55 of the reverse conveyor 53. To achieve the fixing function, the connecting slide 58 corresponds one-to-one with the reverse conveyor 53 and the transfer hole 54, realizing the connecting conveying of the cylindrical object transferred from each transfer hole 54. The connecting slide 58 is circumferentially open, ensuring that even if the cylindrical object is slightly thrown out when the perforated roller 51 rotates, it will not be blocked by the connecting slide 58. Optimally, the connecting slide 58 is inclined, and the inclination angle is adapted to the inclination angle of the transfer hole 54 it connects with, ensuring that the cylindrical object slides smoothly and stably from the transfer hole 54 onto the connecting slide 58.

[0095] As an optimization, several dividing strips are fixedly arranged along the elongation direction on the conveying surface of the conveyor belt assembly 56. These dividing strips separate the conveying surface of the conveyor belt assembly 56 into several directional conveying channels. The number of these directional conveying channels is the same as the number of directional chutes 13, ensuring that the cylindrical objects are still conveyed directionally on the conveyor belt assembly 56, facilitating subsequent merging.

[0096] Furthermore, the rotation angle of the perforated roller 51 is adapted to the number of transfer holes 54, ensuring that the transfer holes 54 always correspond to and engage with the directional slide 13 before and after the perforated roller 51 rotates. In this embodiment, each set of transfer holes 54 consists of five holes, and the rotation angle of the perforated roller 51 is 72 degrees each time.

[0097] In other words, the rotation angle is adapted to the number of single-group transfer holes 54. Specifically, the transfer angle is the value obtained by dividing 360 degrees by the number of single-group transfer holes 54. This ensures that the angle of the transfer holes 54 after the multi-hole roller 51 rotates is consistent with that before rotation, thus ensuring that new transfer holes 54 can dock with the directional slide 13 and the reverse conveyor 53 after rotation, ensuring a continuous, cyclical operation. Five transfer holes 54 are set. In this case, the interval between adjacent transfer holes 54 in a single group is 72 degrees. The rotation angle is consistent with this interval angle, ensuring that the adjacent transfer hole 54 below the transfer hole 54 docking with the directional slide 13 is inclined downwards, allowing the cylindrical object in the transfer hole 54 to slide smoothly into the reverse conveyor 53.

[0098] like Figures 4-9As shown, on the middle section of the directional slide 13, the frame 1 is equipped with a sleeve detection mechanism 6 for detecting abnormalities in the sleeves of cylindrical materials, and an abnormality rejection mechanism 8 for rejecting the sleeved material when an abnormality is detected. The sleeve detection mechanism 6 includes a blocking unit 61 and a detection unit 62. The blocking unit 61 is mounted on the directional slide 13 to block the cylindrical material and control it to slide down one by one. The detection unit 62 is used to detect whether there is indeed a cylindrical material sliding down after the blocking unit 61 makes a material release action to determine whether an abnormality in the sleeve has occurred. The detection unit 62 is located downstream of the blocking unit 61.

[0099] Specifically, the cylindrical materials are guided in the directional slide 13 and slide down along the directional slide 13 under the action of gravity. The sliding direction is the length extension direction, that is, adjacent cylindrical materials are connected end to end. Therefore, when the size difference between two adjacent cylindrical materials is greater than a certain degree, one cylindrical material may be inserted into another cylindrical material. The insertion detection mechanism 6 is set on the directional slide 13 to detect this insertion situation. The abnormal rejection mechanism 8 is used to promptly reject the problematic material when an insertion abnormality is detected between two cylindrical materials. The material blocking unit 61 controls the sequential sliding of the cylindrical materials by blocking or releasing them. The detection unit 62 is located downstream of the material blocking unit 61 to detect whether the cylindrical material actually slides down when it is released, in order to determine whether the cylindrical material has an insertion problem with the next cylindrical material.

[0100] like Figure 5 As shown, the material blocking unit 61 includes a gantry frame 63 fixed to the frame 1. A first locking assembly 64, a second locking assembly 65, and a third locking assembly 66, perpendicular to the directional slide 13, are vertically mounted on the gantry frame 63. These three assemblies are arranged sequentially along the conveying direction of the cylindrical material. The second and third locking assemblies 65 and 66 alternately block or release the cylindrical material within the directional slide 13. The first locking assembly 64 is used to block the material behind the two inserted cylindrical objects when it is necessary to remove the inserted cylindrical objects. The first positioning assembly 64 includes a first pressing rod 73 corresponding to each of the directional slide rails 13, and at least one first lifting driver 67 for driving each first pressing rod 73 to rise and fall; the second positioning assembly 65 includes a second pressing rod 74 corresponding to each of the directional slide rails 13, and at least one second lifting driver 68 for driving each second pressing rod 74 to rise and fall synchronously; the third positioning assembly 66 includes a positioning plate 75 corresponding to each of the directional slide rails 13, and at least one third lifting driver 69 for driving each positioning plate 75 to rise and fall synchronously.

[0101] Specifically, the first locking component 64, the second locking component 65, and the third locking component 66 are perpendicular to the directional slide 13. When extended, they block or press against the material to prevent it from sliding down; when retracted, they release the material to allow it to slide down. The first locking component 64 is located upstream of the three locking components. It is mainly used to press against the third cylindrical material during material rejection so that when the second locking component 65 and the third locking component 66 are both retracted, only the first two cylindrical materials that have inserted into the slide are rejected, preventing the subsequent cylindrical materials from sliding down. Specifically, the first lifting driver 67 drives the first pressing rod 73 located at the output end to descend, pressing the cylindrical material onto the directional slide 13 to prevent it from sliding down. The second locking component 65 is located in the middle of the three locking components. Specifically, the second lifting driver 68 drives the second pressing rod 74 located at the output end to descend, pressing the cylindrical material onto the directional slide 13 to prevent it from sliding down. The third locking component 66 is located downstream of the three locking components. Specifically, it lowers the locking plate 75 located at the output end via the third lifting driver 69, blocking the directional slide 13 to prevent downward sliding. A gantry frame 63 is fixedly installed on the frame 1, spanning the directional slide 13. The first lifting driver 67, the second lifting driver 68, and the third lifting driver 69 are fixedly installed on the gantry frame 63, achieving the effect of the first lifting driver 67, the second lifting driver 68, and the third lifting driver 69 being vertically suspended on the directional slide 13. During normal sequential release of cylindrical objects, the first lifting driver 67 remains retracted, the second lifting driver 68 extends, and the third lifting driver 69 retracts, releasing the first cylindrical object to slide down.

[0102] As an optimization, the distance between the first pressing rod 73 and the second pressing rod 74, and the distance between the second pressing rod 74 and the retaining plane of the positioning plate 75, are both equal to or slightly greater than the length of the cylindrical material. This ensures that under normal circumstances, the first pressing rod 73, the second pressing rod 74, and the positioning plate 75 act on the three adjacent cylindrical materials respectively.

[0103] like Figure 4 , Figure 6 As shown, the detection unit 62 corresponds one-to-one with the directional slide 13, and the freely rotatable stop bar 70, as well as the sensing component 71 for detecting the rotation of the stop bar 70; the stop bar 70 is rotatably connected to the mounting frame 72, which straddles the directional slide 13 and is fixedly connected to the frame 1 at both ends, and the lower end of the stop bar 70 rests on the conveying path along the direction of the cylindrical material conveying; the sensing component 71 is fixedly installed on the mounting frame 72 and is located on one side of the rotation plane of the stop bar 70, within the rotation range of the stop bar 70.

[0104] Specifically, the mounting bracket 72 is fixed between the frames 1 and spans the directional slide 13, providing conditions for the deflector rod 70 and the sensing component 71 to be set one-to-one above the directional slide 13. The deflector rod 70 is rotatably connected to the frame 1, and its lower end rests on the conveying path. At the same time, the deflector rod 70 and the directional slide 13 are inclined in the same direction. When the cylindrical material slides down, it will push against the deflector rod 70, forcing the deflector rod 70 to rotate. The sensing component 71 detects this rotation to determine whether there is cylindrical material sliding over.

[0105] As an optimization, the section of the detent lever 70 near its rotation axis is longer, and the section on the other side is shorter. The sensing component 71 is located on the rotation surface of the shorter section.

[0106] In other words, the deflector lever 70 is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket 72, and the rotation axis 83 is centered. The lower section is longer than the upper section, which ensures that the lower section always tends to rest in the directional slide 13 below. That is, it can automatically reset after being rotated by the cylindrical material. The sensing component 71 is located on one side of the shorter section. Since the shorter section is in an upward angled state, it is convenient to install the sensing component 71. The sensing component 71 is located on one side of the rotating surface.

[0107] like Figure 5 , Figures 7-9 As shown, the abnormal rejection mechanism 8 includes a rejection slide 81 and a second flip drive assembly 82. The rejection slide 81 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 83. The rejection slide 81 has a directional conveying position that forms part of the directional slide 13, and a rejection position that is flipped by the second flip drive assembly 82 so that the abnormal insert material leaves the directional slide 13.

[0108] Specifically, the material rejection chute 81 is rotatably connected to the frame 1 via a rotating shaft 83. The second tilting drive assembly 82 is located between the material rejection chute 81 and the frame 1. When no material rejection is being performed, the second tilting drive assembly 82 supports the material rejection chute 81. The material rejection chute 81 smoothly connects with the upper and lower sections of the upper and lower directional chute 13 to form a directional conveying position, ensuring the smooth conveying of the cylindrical material. When material rejection is being performed, the second tilting drive assembly 82 retracts. The two ends of the second tilting drive assembly 82 are hinged to the frame 1 and the material rejection chute 81, ensuring that the extension and retraction of the second tilting drive assembly 82 can drive the material rejection chute 81 to tilt and rotate to form a material rejection position, so as to remove the inserted cylindrical material.

[0109] The optimized material rejection chute 81 is located between the first clamping component 64 and the third clamping component 66. During material rejection, the first clamping component 64 extends to press the third cylindrical material onto the directional chute 13, ensuring that the first two problematic materials are successfully rejected from below the first clamping component 64 and the second clamping component 65, while subsequent cylindrical materials will not slide down.

[0110] As an optimization of this embodiment, the first linear driver 22, the second linear driver 23, the first lifting driver 67, the second lifting driver 68, the third lifting driver 69, and the push linear driver are electric cylinders; the first flip drive assembly 44, the rotation drive assembly 52, and the second flip drive assembly 82 are motors; the sensing assembly 71 is a magnetic induction switch; and the sensing end of the stop lever 70 is made of a material that can cooperate with the magnetic induction switch.

[0111] Specific working principle: During operation, regarding the first hopper 11 side, the first linear actuator 22 extends and retracts. When extended, the first hopper 11 moves upward, pushing the internal cylindrical object upward. When retracted, the first hopper 11 moves downward, simultaneously pushing the linear actuator. The push rod extends and retracts in the directional slide 13, causing the stuck cylindrical object to fall into the directional slide 13. After orientation, the cylindrical object slides down from the space between the directional slide 13 and the first hopper 11. Initially, the first lifting actuator 67 and the second lifting actuator 68 are in the retracted state, and the third lifting actuator... When device 69 extends, the positioning plate 75 blocks the directional slide 13. After the cylindrical object slides down, it rests against the positioning plate 75, and subsequent cylindrical objects are connected end to end. At this time, the second lifting drive 68 extends, and the second pressing rod 74 presses the second cylindrical object against the directional slide 13 to restrict its downward sliding. Then, the first lifting drive 67 retracts, and the first cylindrical object is released and slides down. Then, the third lifting drive 69 extends, the second lifting drive 68 retracts, and subsequent cylindrical objects slide down. The second cylindrical object rests against the positioning plate 75. Repeating the above actions can realize the feeding of materials one by one.

[0112] When the cylindrical object slides down, the top stop lever 70 rotates, and the sensing section of the stop lever 70 passes over the sensing component 71. The sensing component 71 detects the movement of the stop lever 70, thus determining that no insertion abnormality has occurred. However, if an insertion abnormality occurs, such as when the first cylindrical object and the second cylindrical object are inserted, when the first cylindrical object abuts against the front of the locking plate 75, the third lifting drive 69 retracts. Due to the insertion, the first cylindrical object will not slide down, and the lower stop lever 70 will not rotate. The sensing component 71 then detects the abnormality. If no signal is detected, it is determined that there is an abnormality in the socket. At this time, the first lifting driver 67 extends, the first pressing rod 73 presses the third cylindrical object onto the directional slide 13 to restrict its sliding down, the third lifting driver 69 extends, and the second flipping drive assembly 82 drives the material rejection slide 81 to flip to the reverse tilt. After the abnormal material slides out, the second flipping drive assembly 82 reverses its action to reset. Then the first lifting driver 67 retracts, and the subsequent cylindrical objects rest against the positioning plate 75. The above steps are repeated to start feeding materials one by one.

[0113] After the cylindrical object slides down, it enters the discharge hopper 41 and stops against the baffle plate 42. At this time, the pressure sensor senses a large signal and sends a signal to the discharge control unit. The discharge control unit controls the first flipping drive assembly 44 to flip the originally horizontal discharge plate 43 downward. The cylindrical object falls onto the belt conveyor assembly 31 of the merging conveyor mechanism 3 below, and the belt conveyor assembly 31 transports the cylindrical object to the subsequent processing device.

[0114] On the second hopper 12 side, the process principle on the directional slide 13 is basically the same as that on the first hopper 11 side. After the cylindrical object slides from the directional slide 13 to the bottom, it enters the transfer hole 54 of the porous roller 51. The rotation drive assembly 52 drives the porous roller 51 to rotate 72 degrees. The new transfer hole 54 connects with the directional slide 13. The transfer hole 54 carrying the cylindrical object rotates to connect with the connecting slide 58. The cylindrical object slides out from the transfer hole 54 and slides through the connecting slide 58 to the conveyor belt assembly 56. The conveyor belt assembly 56 conveys the cylindrical object to the belt transmission assembly 31. The belt transmission assembly 31 transports the cylindrical object to the subsequent processing device.

[0115] The control module controls the first linear actuator 22 and the second linear actuator 23 to alternately extend and retract, that is, the first hopper and the second hopper move up and down alternately to realize the alternating directional output of cylindrical materials.
