Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of transistor material conveying technology, specifically, it relates to an improvement of a pipe-distribution device and pipe-distribution method. Background Technology

[0002] Existing tube feeders include a storage tank for storing tubes and a tube-separating structure located below the storage tank for separating the tubes one by one. For example, the patent with patent number 202120933765.6 and patent name: A vertical tube feeding device describes a tube-separating structure, which includes two sets of vertically arranged support cylinders.

[0003] The lower support cylinder is used to support the first layer of material pipe when the first layer of material pipe is fed at the feeding position on the material pipe loading mechanism; the upper support cylinder is used to limit the fall of the second layer of material pipe when the first layer of material pipe falls from the material pipe loading mechanism.

[0004] The aforementioned pipe structure mainly supports the material tube at the feeding position through a supporting cylinder. However, the two ends of the material tube are not positioned, resulting in poor positioning stability. When the pushing device is inserted into the material tube to feed the material, the support above it will shake due to the movement, making the feeding of crystal material unstable. Consequently, the material output to the output track may deviate from the track, resulting in poor feeding accuracy.

[0005] The information disclosed in this background section is only intended to enhance the understanding of the background technology of this application, and therefore may include prior art that is not known to those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0006] This invention addresses the aforementioned technical problems of the existing pipe-splitting structure by proposing a novel pipe-splitting device that can position and fix the material pipe at the feeding position, ensuring the stability of the material pipe and the accuracy of the feeding.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned invention / design objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A distribution device, comprising:

[0009] Matrix;

[0010] The material pipe receiving parts are arranged opposite each other on the substrate, and the material pipe receiving parts extend along the height direction of the substrate, forming a material pipe placement space between the two material pipe receiving parts;

[0011] The feed pipe support device is arranged at the upper end of the base. It can extend into the feed pipe receiving part or retract from the feed pipe receiving part to support or release the feed pipe assembly placed above it.

[0012] The feed pipe support device is telescopic and located below the feed pipe support mechanism, arranged at one end of the base.

[0013] The feed pipe positioning device is telescopic and is arranged at the other end of the base, forming a feeding position between it and the feed pipe support device.

[0014] A linkage drive device is connected to the feeding tube positioning device to drive the feeding tube positioning device to move. When the feeding tube positioning device is in the extended state, it can drive the feeding tube positioning device to move towards the end of the feeding tube so as to cooperate with the base to abut against the end of the feeding tube and position the feeding tube.

[0015] In some embodiments of this application, the linkage drive device is retractable, and when it is in the extended position, it drives the feed tube positioning device to move away from the end of the feed tube along the axis of the feed tube.

[0028] The feeding tube support and the positioning part;

[0029] The third connecting component has one end embedded and fixed in the third mounting part, and the other end connected to the third movable rod of the feed tube drive device.

[0030] In some embodiments of this application, the linkage drive device includes:

[0035] The first linkage component includes:

[0036] The first linkage arm is threadedly connected and fixed to the linkage rod.

[0037] A second linkage arm is set vertically to the first linkage arm;

[0038] The second linkage component is screwed into the second linkage arm, and a locking protrusion is formed on its upper part. It is inserted into the second sliding insertion part and locked into the second limiting part through the locking protrusion.

[0039] In some embodiments of this application, the substrate includes:

[0040] There are two supporting components, arranged opposite to each other;

[0041] Two vertical mounting components are provided, arranged opposite each other, and are installed on the supporting member and extend along the height direction of the supporting member, forming a material pipe receiving part between the vertical mounting components and the supporting member.

[0042] Some embodiments of this application include:

[0043] A pipe-stopping limiter is detachably mounted on the supporting member, and the pipe-stopping limiter is provided with...

The avoidance groove extends along the height direction of the pipe stop limiting member, and the width of the avoidance groove is less than the width between the two vertical mounting members.

[0045] A control method for a distribution device based on the above embodiments includes the following steps:

[0046] When a material pipe is detected at the feeding position, the feeding pipe support device is extended.

[0047] When no material pipe is detected at the feeding position, the feeding pipe support device is controlled to retract, and at the same time, the feeding pipe support device and the feeding pipe positioning device are extended; the linkage drive device is controlled to drive the feeding pipe positioning device to move along the first direction, so as to drive the material pipe to move, so that both ends of the material pipe are positioned by the feeding pipe positioning device and the base.

[0050] The proposed pipe-splitting device improves the bottom support structure cylinder and incorporates a linkage drive device. When the material pipe enters the feeding position, the feeding pipe positioning device and the feeding pipe support device extend to initially position the support. Then, the linkage drive device moves the feeding pipe positioning device, which, through the cooperation of the positioning part on the feeding pipe positioning device and the base, firmly positions and fixes the end of the material pipe. This achieves the positioning of the material pipe at the feeding position, ensures the stability of the material pipe during the feeding process, and improves the feeding accuracy.

They are arranged on the supporting member 413 and extend along the height direction of the supporting member 413. A material pipe receiving part 411 is formed between the vertical mounting member 414 and the supporting member 413.

[0117] The material tube receiving portion 411 formed by the vertical mounting member 414 and the supporting member 413 has an open structure on the side, top and bottom, which facilitates the receiving of material tubes that slide into the material tube support frame on the material rack module 200.

[0118] The material pipe receiving section 411 can be used to hold material pipes arranged in layers.

[0119] The feed pipe support device is arranged on the upper end of the base 410. It can extend into the feed pipe receiving part 411 or retract from the feed pipe receiving part 411 to support or release the support of the feed pipe assembly placed on it.

[0120] In some embodiments of this application, the feeding pipe support device includes:

[0121] Two first pipe support devices 420 are provided and arranged opposite to each other on two support members 413. They can extend into the corresponding pipe receiving part 411 to support the pipe group above them or retract from the pipe receiving part 411 to release the support of the pipe group above them.

[0122] It includes a first support member 421 and a first tube drive device 422 connected to the first support member 421 for driving the extension and retraction of the first support member 421.

[0132] To achieve connection with the first connecting component 423, a thread can be provided at the end of the first movable rod. The end of the first connecting component 423 is provided with a first anti-detachment protrusion, which is inserted into the first mounting groove from above and limited by the first anti-detachment protrusion. The other end is threadedly connected and fixed to the first movable rod to achieve the transmission connection between the first supporting component 421 and the first driving element 4222.

[0133] When the first movable rod extends or retracts, it can drive the first connecting component 423 and the first telescopic base 4211 connected to the first connecting component 423 to extend or retract.

[0134] Two opposing first support members 421 can store the material tube assembly above them when extended, forming a storage position at this location.

[0135] When it contracts, the material tube stored in the storage position can be released.

[0136] The feed pipe support device 430 is telescopic and located below the feed pipe support mechanism, arranged at one end of the base 410.

[0137] In some embodiments of this application, the feed tube support device 430 includes:

[0138] The second supporting component;

[0139] The second pipe fitting drive device 432 is connected to the second support member 413 and drives the second support member 413 to extend and retract.

[0140] Specifically, the second pipe fitting drive device 432 includes:

[0141] The second drive seat 4321 is connected to the support member 413; the second drive seat 4321 can be assembled onto the support member 413 by screws.

[0142] The second drive element 4322 is mounted on the second drive base 4321 and has a retractable second movable rod.

[0143] The second supporting member includes:

[0144] The second telescopic base 4311 has a second insert portion 4312 formed on it;

[0145] The second support portion 4313 is formed on the second telescopic base 4311 and is perpendicular to the second telescopic base 4311;

[0146] The second connecting component 433 is connected at one end to the second movable rod, and at the other end is embedded and fixed in the second mounting part 4312.

[0147] The second drive element 4322 is the second drive cylinder.

[0148] The connection method of the second connecting component 433, the second movable rod, and the second mounting part 4312 is the same as that of the first connecting component 423, the first movable rod, and the first mounting part, and will not be described in detail here.

[0149] The second support part 4313 is a second support arm that is perpendicular to the second telescopic base 4311, and it supports the material pipe perpendicular to the second telescopic base 4311.

[0150] The feed pipe positioning device 610 is telescopic and is arranged at the other end of the base 410. It is arranged opposite to the feed pipe support device 430 on the two support members 413, and a feeding position is formed between the feed pipe positioning device 610 and the feed pipe support device 430.

[0151] The material pipe that falls from the storage position can fall into the feeding position for feeding.

[0152] The material feeding device 610 and the material feeding device 430 work together to position and lock the material feeding pipe at the feeding position, ensuring the material feeding effect.

[0153] The linkage drive device 620 is connected to the feeding tube positioning device 610 and is used to drive the feeding tube positioning device 610 to move. When the feeding tube positioning device 610 is in the extended state, it can drive the feeding tube positioning device 610 to move towards the end of the tube so as to cooperate with the base 410 to abut against the end of the tube to position the tube.

[0154] Empty tube detection sensor 412 is used to detect the presence or absence of a feed tube at the feeding position;

[0155] The controller, connected to the empty pipe detection sensor 412, is configured as follows:

[0156] The feeding pipe support device, the unloading pipe support device 430, the unloading pipe positioning device 610, and the linkage drive device 620 are controlled to operate according to the detection signal generated by the empty pipe detection sensor 412.

[0157] The branch pipe device structure in this embodiment can be used to dock with the material rack module 200 to receive the materials conveyed by the material rack module 200.

[0158] When the material tube support frame in the material rack module 200 moves to the feeding position, its bottom opening will be opened by the opening and closing device 350. At this time, the material tube in the material tube support frame slides into the material tube receiving part 411 and is supported by the upper material tube support device.

[0159] Empty tube detection sensor 412 is arranged at the feeding position to detect the presence or absence of the material tube at the feeding position. If the material tube at the feeding position is used up and released, it will detect that there is no material tube at the feeding position. At this time, it will send a signal to the controller, and the controller will control the upper material tube support device to retract, and the material tube will slide down to the feeding position.

[0160] When a material pipe is detected at the feeding position, the controller controls the upper material pipe support device to extend and continue to support the material pipe group above it.

[0161] To prevent the entire material pipe assembly from falling, the distance between the upper material pipe support device and the lower material pipe support device 430 is set to be slightly greater than the height of one material pipe. This way, when the upper material pipe support device retracts, just enough for one material pipe to fall to the feeding position.

[0162] After the material tube at the feeding position is used up, the controller can be used to control the action of the material tube support device 430, the material tube positioning device 610, and the linkage drive device 620 to release the empty material tube.

[0163] To accommodate empty material tubes, in some embodiments of this application, a movable receiving device 810 is also provided, which is arranged below the branch pipe device and can be moved into or out of the accommodating space to receive empty material tubes output from the material supply position of the branch pipe device.

[0164] To facilitate docking with the mobile receiving device 810 that enters the accommodating space, mounting plates are provided on both sides of the bottom of the frame of the body 100, and a mobile channel for the mobile receiving device 810 to enter and exit is defined between the two mounting plates.

[0165] When the mobile receiving device 810 enters the inner side of the accommodating space, its two sides can be mounted on the mounting plate, and the frame of the body 100 plays the main role of bearing and supporting.

[0166] In some embodiments of this application, the mobile receiving device 810 is a hand-pushed trolley with a handle or an AGV transfer trolley. When the mobile receiving device 810 is full, it is transferred outward by the trolley.

[0167] In some embodiments of this application, the linkage drive device 620 is retractable, and when it is in the extended position, it drives the feed tube positioning device 610 to move away from the end of the feed tube along the axis of the feed tube.

[0168] When it is in the contraction action, it drives the feed tube positioning device 610 to move along the axis of the feed tube towards the end of the feed tube.

[0169] The linkage drive device 620 is connected to the feed tube positioning device 610, which can drive the feed tube positioning device 610 to move away from or near the end of the feed tube, thereby achieving the effect of releasing or positioning the feed tube.

[0170] In some embodiments of this application, the feed tube positioning device 610 includes:

[0171] The feed pipe support component 611 has the following features:

[0172] The feed pipe support part 6111 extends along the axis of the feed pipe;

[0173] A positioning part 6112 is formed at one end of the feed tube support part 6111 away from the feed tube accommodating space, and is used to abut and position the end of the feed tube.

[0174] The feeding tube drive device 612 is connected to the feeding tube support member 611 and is used to drive the feeding tube support member 611 to extend and retract.

[0175] The feeding pipe drive device 612 is a feeding pipe drive cylinder, and the feeding pipe support part 6111 is a feeding pipe support protrusion used to support the feeding pipe.

[0176] The positioning part 6112 is a positioning protrusion that is perpendicular to the feeding tube support protrusion. It is arranged on one side of the feeding tube support protrusion and is used to block and position the feeding tube at one end.

[0177] In some embodiments of this application, it further includes: a feed tube drive seat, the feed tube drive seat having vertically arranged:

[0178] The first seat connecting portion 6121 has a first sliding insert portion 6123 formed therein, and a first limiting portion 6125 formed in recesses on both sides of the first sliding insert portion 6123.

[0179] The second seat connection portion 6122 has a second sliding insertion portion 6124 formed therein, and a second limiting portion 6126 formed in recesses on both sides of the second sliding insertion portion 6124.

[0180] The first sliding insert portion 6123 is a first sliding insert groove, and the first limiting portion 6125 is a first limiting groove; the second sliding insert portion 6124 is a second sliding insert groove, and the second limiting portion 6126 is a second limiting groove.

[0181] The feed tube drive device 612 is mounted on the first seat connection part 6121.

[0182] In some embodiments of this application, the feed pipe support member 611 includes:

[0183] The feed tube support base 6113 is slidably inserted into the first sliding insertion part 6123 and limited by the first limiting part 6125. A sliding protrusion is formed on the outer side wall of the feed tube support base 6113. The sliding protrusion is inserted into the first limiting part 6125 and slides in the first limiting groove. The sliding of the feed tube support base 6113 is limited by the side walls on both sides of the first limiting groove.

[0184] A third insert portion is formed on the feed tube support base 6113;

[0185] The third mounting part is the third mounting groove, and the feed tube drive device 612 includes a third movable rod, which is connected to the feed tube support base 6113 through the third connecting part 613.

[0186] One end of the third connecting component 613 can be threadedly connected to the third movable rod, and the other end is embedded in the third mounting groove.

[0187] The feed pipe support 6114 is vertically inserted into the feed pipe support base 6113, and a [structure / feature] is formed above it.

[0188] The feeding tube support part 6111 and the positioning part 6112;

[0189] The feed tube support base 6113 is provided with an insertion hole, and the feed tube support 6114 is inserted into the insertion hole.

[0190] In some embodiments of this application, the linkage drive device 620 includes:

[0191] The linkage sliding seat 621 is assembled on the base 410 and is slidably connected to the feed tube drive seat;

[0192] Specifically, the second seat connecting part 6122 of the feed tube drive seat is slidably inserted into the linkage sliding seat 621 to achieve a sliding connection between the two.

[0193] The linkage drive component 622 is fixedly connected below the linkage sliding seat 621, and includes a retractable linkage rod;

[0194] The linkage connection component is connected at one end to the linkage rod and at the other end to the second base body.

[0195] The linkage drive component 622 drives the linkage connection component to move, which in turn drives the feed tube drive seat to move.

[0196] The linkage drive component 622 is a linkage drive cylinder, and its linkage rod end is correspondingly threaded.

[0197] In some embodiments of this application, the linkage connection component includes:

[0198] The first linkage component 623 includes:

[0199] The first linkage arm 6231 is threadedly connected and fixed to the linkage rod;

[0200] A second linkage arm 6232 is set vertically to the first linkage arm 6231;

[0201] The second linkage 624 is screwed into the second linkage arm 6232, and a locking protrusion 6241 is formed on its upper part. It is inserted into the second sliding insertion part 6124 and locked into the second limiting part 6126 through the locking protrusion 6241, so as to connect the first linkage 623 and the unloading body drive seat.

[0202] The linkage drive device 620 is connected to the feed tube drive seat through the linkage connection assembly. The extension direction of the linkage rod of the linkage drive device 620 is opposite to the extension direction of the third movable rod of the feed tube drive device 612. When the linkage rod of the linkage drive device 620 extends, it will drive the feed tube drive device 612 and the feed tube support 6114 away from the end of the feed tube.

[0203] When the linkage rod of the linkage drive device 620 retracts, it will cause the feed tube drive device 612 and the feed tube support 6114 to approach the end of the feed tube.

[0204] In use, the material pipe support member 611 and the second support member 413 extend to provide initial support for both ends of the material pipe that falls into the feeding position.

[0205] Since the material pipe connects with the pusher 700 at the feeding position, and the pusher 700 pushes the material in the material pipe outward, the material pipe at the feeding position must maintain stability to ensure stable feeding.

[0206] After the feeding tube support device 430 and the feeding tube positioning device 610 extend, the linkage drive device 620 then retracts, causing the feeding tube positioning device 610 connected to it to move closer to the end of the feeding tube. The positioning part 6112 on the feeding tube positioning device 610 abuts against the feeding tube, while simultaneously moving the feeding tube a certain distance. Finally, the positioning part 6112 abuts against one end of the feeding tube, and the base 410 abuts against the other end of the feeding tube, completely limiting the feeding tube and ensuring stable feeding and feeding accuracy.

[0207] Some embodiments of this application include:

[0208] The retaining member 415 is detachably mounted on the supporting member 413.

[0209] The tube stop limiting member 415 is a tube stop limiting plate, which can be detachably assembled onto the supporting member 413 by screws.

[0210] The guide tube limiting member 415 has an avoidance groove 4151, which extends along the height direction of the guide tube limiting member 415. The width of the avoidance groove 4151 is less than the width between the two vertical mounting members 414.

[0211] The obstruction slot 415 of the pipe-stopping limiter 4151 facilitates the extension and retraction of the feed pipe support device 430, the discharge pipe support device 430, and the discharge pipe positioning device 610. The width of the obstruction slot 4151 is set to be smaller than the width of the vertical mounting member 414 to ensure that it can block and limit the material pipe and prevent the material pipe from falling out.

[0212] Since the supporting component 413 is large, if the size of the material tube changes, such as the material tube becoming narrower, it may come out of the clearance slot 4151. In this case, the supporting component 413 needs to be replaced.

[0213] By detachably setting a tube-stopping limiter 415 on the supporting member 413 and setting an avoidance groove 4151 on the tube-stopping limiter 415, when the size of the material tube changes, only the tube-stopping limiter 415 needs to be disassembled and replaced, thus saving costs.

[0214] This embodiment also proposes a control method for the distribution device based on the above-described implementation method, comprising the following steps:

[0215] The system detects whether there is a material pipe at the feeding position. When a material pipe is detected at the feeding position, the system controls the upper material pipe support device to extend to support the material pipe at the storage position above it and prevent it from falling.

[0216] When no material pipe is detected at the feeding position, the feeding pipe support device is controlled to retract, and at the same time, the feeding pipe support device 430 and the feeding pipe positioning device 610 extend; the linkage drive device 620 is controlled to drive the feeding pipe positioning device 610 to move along the first direction, so as to drive the material pipe to move, so that both ends of the material pipe are positioned by the feeding pipe positioning device 610 and the base 410.

[0217] After the material pipe at the feeding position is released, the material pipe at the storage position needs to be released to the feeding position for feeding. At this time, the material pipe support device 430 and the material pipe positioning device 610 should be extended to support the falling material pipe. Then, the material pipe support device should be retracted, and the material pipe should fall to the feeding position. Then, the linkage drive device 620 should be activated to make the end of the material pipe fully limited. At the same time, when the falling material pipe at the feeding position is detected to be in place, the material pipe support device should be controlled to extend.

[0218] When the feed pipe is detected to be empty at the feeding position, the feed pipe support device 430 and the feed pipe positioning device 610 are controlled to retract. At the same time, the linkage drive device 620 is controlled to drive the feed pipe positioning device 610 to move along the second direction, wherein the second direction is opposite to the first direction.

[0219] When the material tube is empty and the internal material has been used up, it is necessary to control the material tube support device 430, the material tube positioning device 610, and the linkage drive device 620 to operate simultaneously to release the empty material tube.

[0220] The storage rack 130 is mounted above the support platform 112.

[0221] The material rack module 200 is slidably connected to the storage rack body 130 of the machine body 100, and includes a multi-row material pipe support frame 220.

[0222] An accommodating space is formed on the storage rack 130;

[0223] The material rack module 200 is arranged in the accommodating space and is slidably connected to the storage rack body 130;

[0224] In some embodiments of this application, the storage rack 130 includes:

[0225] The first storage rack 131 is a gantry frame that is horizontally mounted on the support platform 112.

[0226] The second storage rack 132, which is disposed opposite to the first storage rack, forms the accommodating space between the first storage rack 131 and the second storage rack 132.

[0227] The second storage rack 132 has the same structure as the first storage rack 131.

[0228] The material rack module 200 includes:

[0229] Material frame 210, with storage space formed inside the material frame 210;

[0230] In some embodiments of this application, the material frame 210 includes:

[0231] Two transverse connecting components 211 are provided and arranged opposite to each other;

[0232] And longitudinal connecting members 212 respectively connected to both ends of the two transverse connecting members 211;

[0233] The transverse connecting member 211 is a transverse connecting plate, and the longitudinal connecting member 212 is a longitudinal connecting plate. The transverse connecting plate and the longitudinal connecting plate are connected end to end to form a quadrilateral material frame.

[0234] The material tube support rack 220 is located inside the storage space formed by the quadrilateral material frame. It has multiple rows, and each row can be used to place multiple material tubes arranged in layers.

[0235] The height of the tube support frame 220 is higher than that of the material frame 210, and it extends up and down along the height direction of the material frame 210 to ensure that the tube support frame 220 can accommodate a large number of tubes, thereby achieving a large-capacity storage effect.

[0236] By stacking the material tubes within the material tube support frame 220, a large capacity load can be achieved while reducing the space occupied.

[0237] During the arrangement, multiple rows of material pipe support frames 220 are set up, and all rows of material pipe support frames 220 are connected to the material frame 210. The multiple rows of material pipe support frames 220 are arranged along the sliding direction of the material rack module 200.

[0238] By connecting the multiple rows of material tube support frames 220 to the material frame 210, the material tube support frames 220 and the material frame 210 can be formed into an integral module, which can move synchronously during operation.

[0239] The drive module 300 is connected to the material frame 210 and is used to drive the material rack module 200 to slide.

[0240] The drive module 300 provides the power for the sliding of the material rack module 200, which can drive the entire material rack module 200 to move along the storage rack body 130.

[0241] Since the multiple rows of material tube support frames 220 on the material rack module 200 are arranged along the sliding direction of the material rack module 200, when material feeding is required, the first row of material tube support frames 220 can be moved by the drive module 300 to feed the material. After the material tubes in the first row of material tube support frames 220 are fed, the material rack module 200 can be moved by the drive module 300 to feed the remaining rows of material tube support frames 220 in sequence, thus realizing the alternating feeding of material tubes in the multiple rows of material tube support frames 220.

[0242] In this embodiment, the material rack module 200 has multiple rows of material tube support frames for feeding. When feeding, the material rack module 200 is moved by the drive module 300 so that the multiple rows of material tube support frames above it can feed materials sequentially. Since the material tube support frames are set to feed materials alternately, the capacity and quantity of the supplied materials are increased. After one material tube support frame has finished feeding, it can be moved by the drive wear-resistant block to replace another material tube support frame for feeding. In this way, during production operations, there is no need to frequently load and unload materials, the interval between loading and unloading is extended, and the production efficiency is improved.

[0243] In some embodiments of this application, the material tube support frame 220 includes:

[0244] Two material tube single frame bodies 221 are provided, which are arranged opposite each other and have a gap between them. The two material tube single frame bodies 221 are respectively connected to the two opposite transverse connecting members 211.

[0245] Multiple tube support frames 220 have tube single frame bodies 221 arranged at equal intervals along the length direction of the transverse connecting member 211, and the spacing between adjacent tube single frame bodies 221 is adjustable.

[0246] The material tube frame 221 and the transverse connecting component 211 can be fixed together by screws.

[0247] The single tube frame 221 has a first opening 222 arranged along the height direction of the single tube frame 221, and an inlet / outlet located at the upper end. The first openings 222 of the two single tube frames 221 are arranged opposite to each other, and a tube receiving space 223 for accommodating the tube is formed between the two single tube frames 221.

[0248] When the tube is placed, both ends slide in from the inlet and outlet of the top of the two tube frame 221, and slide from top to bottom along the first opening 222 into the tube receiving space 223 between the two tube frame 221.

[0249] In some embodiments of this application, the driving module 300 includes:

[0250] Material rack drive device 310;

[0251] And a linear transmission device 320 that is connected to the material rack drive device 310, the linear transmission device 320 being fixedly connected to the material frame 210.

[0252] The material rack drive device 310 is a material rack drive motor or material rack drive motor, which is connected to the linear transmission device 320 to transmit power to the material frame 210 to drive the material frame 210 to move.

[0253] In some embodiments of this application, the linear transmission device 320 is a sprocket and chain transmission device or a lead screw and nut transmission device.

[0254] In some embodiments of this application, the linear transmission device 320 includes:

[0255] An active pulley 321 is arranged on the storage rack 130;

[0256] The driven pulley 322 is disposed opposite to the driving pulley 321;

[0257] A synchronous belt 323 is wound around the driving pulley 321 and the driven pulley 322.

[0258] During transmission, the material frame 210 is moved by the material rack drive device 310 driving the drive pulley 321 to rotate, the drive pulley 321 driving the driven pulley 322 to rotate, and the synchronous belt 323 arranged above it to move linearly.

[0259] In some embodiments of this application, to achieve the connection between the timing belt 323 and the material frame 210, the following are also provided:

[0260] The belt connecting assembly 330 connects the timing belt 323 and the material frame 210;

[0261] The belt connection assembly 330 includes:

[0262] There are two connecting seats 331, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the material frame 210. A clamping protrusion 332 is formed on the connecting seat 331 near the first storage rack 131.

[0263] The clamping component 333 is disposed opposite to the clamping protrusion 332 and is fixedly connected to the clamping protrusion 332, forming a synchronous belt 323 accommodating space between it and the clamping protrusion 332 for accommodating the synchronous belt 323.

[0264] The clamping component 333 is a clamping plate or clamping block, which is fitted to the clamping protrusion 332. The clamping component 333 and the clamping protrusion 332 can be fixed together by screws to clamp and fix the timing belt 323 in the timing belt 323 accommodating space.

[0265] In some embodiments of this application, in order to limit and guide the movement of the material frame 210, the following are also provided:

[0266] Sliding component 340, which includes:

[0267] Two sets of sliding rails 341 are provided, which are respectively arranged on the first storage rack 131 and the second storage rack;

[0268] There are two sliding member fixing seats 342, which are respectively assembled below the two connecting seats 331. A sliding member is provided on the sliding member fixing seat 342, and the sliding member is slidably connected to the sliding rail 341.

[0269] The slider is a sliding block with a sliding groove on its top, which is adapted to the sliding track 341.

[0270] In some embodiments of this application, the single-frame material tube 221 includes:

[0271] Backplate component 2211;

[0272] And the side plate components 2212 arranged on both sides of the back plate component 2211, and the bottom of the back plate component 2211 and the side plate component 2212 are formed with a tube outlet 2213, which is a tube outlet.

[0273] To facilitate alternating material supply to the multi-row material pipe support frame 220, the bottom of the single material pipe frame 221 can be made openable and closable to allow the material pipe to be blocked or released.

[0274] In some embodiments of this application, an opening / closing device 350 is provided at the outlet section 2213, and the opening / closing device 350 includes:

[0275] A sliding insert plate is slidably inserted into the outlet section 2213 of the single frame of the material tube;

[0276] An opening / closing drive element is connected to the sliding insert plate to drive the sliding insert plate to move, so as to at least partially block the outlet section 2213 or open the outlet section 2213.

[0277] The opening and closing drive element can be a linear drive motor, which drives the sliding insert plate to slide to open or close, thereby blocking or opening the outlet pipe 2213.

[0278] When feeding is not required, the opening and closing device 350 limits the material tube to prevent it from falling.

[0279] When feeding is required, the outlet section 2213 can be opened through the opening and closing device 350, allowing the material pipe to fall down for normal feeding.

[0280] In this embodiment, the material pipes in the multi-row material pipe support frame are mainly driven to slide to the position corresponding to the branch pipe device to perform material pipe docking and feeding operations.

[0281] To ensure that the bottom outlet section 2213 of each row of material pipe support frame can be automatically opened for material supply when it slides to the position of the branch pipe device, an opening and closing device 350 is provided at the bottom of each material pipe support frame.

[0282] In some other embodiments of this application, the opening and closing device 350 is configured to open or close by sliding the material tube support relative to the storage rack body 130.

[0283] After the material tube support frame slides into position relative to the storage rack body 130, it can be automatically opened through the opening and closing structure between the two, without the need for manual opening and replacement of the material rack structure.

[0284] The opening and closing device 350 includes: opening and closing components, which are provided in two sets and arranged at the outlet section 2213 of the two material pipe single frame bodies 221;

[0285] The actuating component 354 is mounted on a base 410 and is used to cooperate with the opening and closing assembly. When the opening and closing assembly moves relative to it, it applies a force to the opening and closing assembly, causing it to retract from the outlet section 2213.

[0286] Specifically, the opening and closing component includes:

[0287] A sliding element 351 is slidably inserted into a back plate component 2211. The sliding element extends from the back side of the back plate component 2211 and is bent to form a bent portion. A sliding space is formed between the bent portion and the back plate component 2211.

[0288] An elastic element 352 is arranged between the sliding element 351 and the back plate component 2211 to reset the sliding element 351.

[0289] Specifically, the sliding element 351 has an abutment protrusion 3511, the back plate component 2211 has an assembly component 353, the abutment protrusion 3511 and the assembly component 353 are arranged opposite to each other, and the elastic element 352 is located between the two.

[0290] In some embodiments of this application, the functional component 354 has two sliding guide surfaces on the surface opposite to the bent portion. The two sliding guide surfaces have opposite inclination directions and are connected by a transition connecting surface in the middle.

[0291] Two sliding guide surfaces allow the material tube support frame to slide from left to right or from right to left. When sliding in different directions, it is guided by different sliding guide surfaces so that it can be fed from both sides.

[0292] As the guide surface slides along the sliding direction of the material tube support frame, the distance between the sides of its base gradually increases.

[0293] The actuating component 354 is a conical block, and the elastic element 352 is a spring.

[0294] When the opening and closing assembly on the single frame 221 of the material tube slides to the position corresponding to the position of the action component 354, the action component 354 is located in the sliding space and continuously applies force to the sliding element 351 through the conical surface, so that it slides out from the outlet section 2213 along the direction of the vertical back plate component 2211, while compressing the elastic structure and releasing the restriction on the end of the material tube.

[0295] After the action component 354 and the sliding element 351 separate, the elastic element 352 will spring back under the reverse force of the elastic structure to reset it, and continue to limit the stop tube.

[0296] To facilitate the sliding of the actuating component 354 into the sliding space, sliding guide surfaces 355 are formed at both ends of the sliding abutment. The sliding guide surfaces 355 facilitate the sliding of the actuating component 354 into and out of the sliding space.

[0297] In order to push the material into the track of feeding equipment such as a linear vibrating feeder, this embodiment also includes the following:

[0298] The feeding device 700 is used to transport the crystal material in the feed tube at the feeding position to the output track 150.

[0299] The feeding device 700 includes: a feeding base 710, which is mounted on the machine body 100;

[0300] Specifically, the pusher base 710 is assembled on the first main support component 122 and the second main support component 123.

[0301] The material pushing power component 720 is assembled on the material pushing base 710;

[0302] The pusher wheel 730 is connected to the push-pull power component and can rotate under the drive of the push-pull power component;

[0303] A push spring 740 is wound around the push wheel 730, with one end inserted into the material tube at the feeding position and the other end slidably inserted into the receiving sleeve 770.

[0304] The first depth detection element 750 is arranged at the receiving sleeve 770 to detect the depth of the pusher spring 740 pulled out;

[0305] The second depth detection element 760 is arranged at the insertion section of the push-pull spring 740 into the material tube to detect the insertion depth of the push-pull spring 740.

[0306] The pushing power component 720 is mounted below the pushing base 710, and the pushing wheel 730 is mounted above the pushing base;

[0307] Rolling bearings that cooperate with the pusher wheel 730 are provided on both sides of the pusher wheel 730. A tension spring moving channel is formed between the pusher wheel 730 and the rolling bearings. One end of the pusher tension spring 740 extends out from one of the tension spring moving channels and is inserted into the material tube.

[0308] The other end of the tension spring extends out from the tension spring movement channel and is inserted into the storage sleeve 770.

[0309] A raised platform is provided on the push-pull base. The raised platform is perpendicular to the push-pull base 410. Two guide channels are provided on the raised platform. The two guide channels are respectively connected to two tension spring moving channels.

[0310] The feeding power component 720 is a feeding motor, and the first depth detection element 750 is a slot-type photoelectric switch.

[0311] The second depth detection element 760 is a depth detection sensor that determines whether the material in the feed tube at the feeding position has been used up by detecting the insertion depth of the push spring 740.

[0312] During the feeding process, the feeding motor rotates, and the friction of the feeding wheel 730 drives the feeding tension spring 740 to rotate along it, pushing the feeding tension spring 740 into the feed tube. As the feeding wheel 730 rotates continuously, the insertion depth of the tension spring increases, so as to continuously push the crystal material in the feed tube located at the feeding position of the branch tube device out of the feed tube. The pushed-out crystal material enters the output track 150 that is matched with it and is output outward.

[0313] When the pusher motor reverses, the pusher tension spring 740 moves in the opposite direction and is retracted into the storage sleeve.

[0314] A slotted photoelectric switch is installed at the inlet of the receiving sleeve 770 to detect whether part of the push spring 740 is still inside the receiving sleeve 770. The receiving sleeve 770 can be made of stainless steel. Once the slotted photoelectric switch fails to detect the spring, the push-pull motor immediately stops rotating to ensure that part of the spring is still inside the receiving sleeve 770 so that the withdrawn spring can be smoothly stored inside the receiving sleeve 770.

[0315] In some embodiments of this application, a clamping device 820 is also provided, disposed at the outlet of the output channel, the clamping device 820 comprising:

[0316] A clamping support 821 is provided, on which a clamping track is formed, and the clamping track is connected to the output track 150.
