[0002] At present, with the rapid development of the medical equipment industry, higher requirements are put forward for the quality and production efficiency of medical equipment. As an important surgical instrument, the stapler is widely needed in clinical applications. The stapler is a medical device used to replace traditional manual suturing. The stapler contains a stapler magazine for placing staples. After the staples in the stapler magazine are used, the stapler magazine can be replaced. In the related technology, a vibration plate is usually used to arrange the staples in order, and then a conveying assembly is used to convey the staples to the fixture, and the stapler magazine is placed in the processing position. Finally, the staples are removed from the conveying assembly by the fixture and loaded into the stapler magazine, thereby realizing the function of automatic assembly of staples. Regarding the above-mentioned related technologies: a plurality of staples need to be assembled in each staple magazine, and during the assembly process, the position of the staple magazine remains unchanged. Therefore, when it is necessary to assemble staples at a position of the staple magazine away from the clamp, the stroke of the clamp is long, and the clamp can only remove one staple from the conveying assembly and load it into the staple magazine at a time, so that it takes more time to fill a staple magazine, and thus there is a problem of low work efficiency. Summary of the invention

The feeding assembly is used to transport the staples to the clamping assembly. The conveying mechanism includes a feeding component and a bearing component. A carrier for temporarily storing a nail magazine is placed on the feeding component. The feeding component is connected to the bearing component. The bearing component is located between the two clamping components. The feeding component is used to convey the carrier to the bearing component. When the clamping component assembles the staples into the nail magazine, the bearing component drives the carrier to approach the clamping component.

At the same time, the loading assembly transports the staples to the clamping assembly, and then the clamping assembly is used to remove the staples from the loading assembly and transfer them to the staple magazine. In this process, the bearing assembly will drive the carrier to move between the two clamping assemblies, so that when one of the two clamping assemblies is working, the bearing assembly will drive the staple magazine to approach the clamping assembly through the carrier, so as to shorten the travel of the clamping assembly to assemble the staples into the staple magazine, increase the assembly speed, and then through the cooperation between the bearing assembly and the two clamping assemblies, it is beneficial to improve the overall work efficiency.

At this time, the Y-axis driving member drives the bearing seat to move between the two clamping assemblies through the X-axis driving member, so that the two clamping assemblies can assemble the staples into the staple magazine in the carrier. In this process, the X-axis driving member drives the bearing seat to move between the two clamping assemblies, so that the two clamping assemblies can assemble the staples into the staple magazine in turn, which is conducive to shortening the stroke of the clamping assembly, reducing the time of a single assembly, and significantly improving the overall production efficiency.

In this embodiment, the Y-axis driving member 221 is a linear motor, so that the Y-axis driving member 221 can drive the X-axis driving member 222 and the bearing seat 223 to move along the Y-axis direction.
[0045] In this embodiment, the X-axis driving member 222 is also a linear motor, so that the X-axis driving member 222 can drive the supporting seat 223 to move between the two clamping assemblies 12 .
[0046] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the lifting assembly 24 and the positioning assembly 25 are respectively installed on the bearing seat 223. Among them, the lifting assembly 24 includes a first lifting drive member 241 and a second lifting drive member 242, and the first lifting drive member 241 and the second lifting drive member 242 are respectively installed on the bearing seat 223.

A positioning slot 41 is provided at the bottom of the carrier 4.
[0048] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 When the carrier 4 needs to be transported to the support seat 223, the Y-axis driving member 221 is first used to transport the X-axis driving member 222 and the support seat 223 to a position close to the feeding platform 211, and then the feeding cylinder 2121 is started, and the feeding cylinder 2121 pushes the carrier 4 to the support seat 223 through the push rod 2122. At this time, the second lifting driving member 242 drives the positioning pin 252 to be inserted into the positioning groove 41, and the first lifting driving member 241 drives the positioning plate 251 to press against the top of the carrier 4, thereby fixing the position of the carrier 4, thereby effectively preventing the assembly error caused by the position deviation of the carrier 4.
[0049] When one of the two clamping assemblies 12 removes the staples from the material channel 112 and assembles them into the staple magazine 5, the X-axis driving member 222 can drive the carrier 4 to approach the clamping assembly 12 through the bearing seat 223 to reduce the distance between the clamping assembly 12 and the staple magazine 5 in the carrier 4, thereby shortening the stroke of the clamping assembly 12 to assemble the staples into the staple magazine 5, reducing the time of a single assembly, and thus facilitating an increase in assembly speed. The two clamping assemblies 12 assemble the staples into the staple magazine 5 in turn, further improving work efficiency.
[0050] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 The guide plate 253 is detachably connected to one side of the positioning plate 251 near the bearing seat 223. The material of the guide plate 253 can be wear-resistant plastic or metal alloy to ensure durability after long-term use. A plurality of guide grooves 2531 are provided on the guide plate 253. The plurality of guide grooves 2531 are adapted to the design of the staples required to be assembled in the staple cartridge 5.
[0051] When the positioning plate 251 is pressed against the top of the carrier 4, the guide plate 253 contacts the nail magazine 5 in the carrier 4, so that when the clamping assembly 12 assembles the staples into the nail magazine 5, the guide plate 253 can guide the staples to accurately enter the designated position in the nail magazine 5, which is beneficial to improve the assembly accuracy of the staples, reduce the defective rate caused by position deviation, and further improve the overall production efficiency and product quality.

[0054] When the carrier 4 needs to be transported to the support seat 223, the first pusher 2611 works to drive the pusher block 262 to move away from the support seat 223, so that the pusher block 262 is not likely to interfere with the carrier 4. When the carrier 4 needs to be pushed away from the support seat 223, the first pusher 2611 drives the pusher block 262 to move toward the support seat 223, so that the pusher block 262 is close to the carrier 4, and the second pusher 2612 is activated, and the second pusher 2612 pushes the carrier 4 to move through the pusher block 262, so as to push the carrier 4 away from the support seat 223.

[0056] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 When the stapler bin 5 is filled with staples, the Y-axis driving member 221 is used to transport the support seat 223 to a position close to the discharge guide rail 231, and then the second pusher 2612 is activated. The second pusher 2612 pushes the carrier 4 to move onto the discharge guide rail 231 through the push block 262, so that the carrier 4 can be separated from the support seat 223. The carrier 4 can move along the discharge guide rail 231 to the receiving platform 232, so that the staff can take the carrier 4 away.
[0057] It should be noted that in the stapler automatic stapling production line, sensors are provided between the components to facilitate the inspection of the positions between the components, so that the feeding mechanism 1 and the conveying mechanism 2 can work together accurately. As for how to set the sensors, it is a conventional technical means for those skilled in the art, so it will not be described in detail in the embodiments of this application.
[0058] The implementation principle of the automatic stapler stapling production line of the present application embodiment is as follows: when the stapler bin 5 needs to be filled with staples, the empty stapler bin 5 is first placed in the carrier 4, and the carrier 4 is placed on the feeding platform 211, and then the feeding drive 212 is started, and the feeding drive 212 pushes the carrier 4 onto the bearing seat 223 through the push rod 2122. At this time, the first lifting drive 241 drives the positioning plate 251 to press against the top of the carrier 4, and the second lifting drive 242 drives the positioning pin 252 to be inserted into the positioning groove 41.
[0059] Next, the Y-axis driving member 221 is started, and the Y-axis driving member 221 drives the bearing seat 223 to move between the two clamping assemblies 12 through the X-axis driving member 222. The two clamping assemblies 12 remove the staples from the material channel 112 and install them in the staple magazine 5. In this process, the X-axis driving member 222 works to drive the bearing seat 223 to move in a direction close to the clamping assembly 12 when one of the two clamping assemblies 12 loads the staples into the staple magazine 5, so that the clamping assembly 12 can assemble the staples into the staple magazine 5. The above process is repeated to fill the staple magazine 5 with staples.
[0060] Finally, the Y-axis driving member 221 drives the bearing seat 223 to approach the discharge guide rail 231 through the X-axis driving member 222, and makes the first lifting driving member 241 and the second lifting driving member 242 work in reverse, so that the positioning plate 251 and the positioning pin 252 are separated from the carrier 4, and then the second pushing member 2612 is started, and the second pushing member 2612 pushes the carrier 4 to separate from the bearing seat 223 and move to the discharge guide rail 231 through the pushing block 262, thereby completing the stapling operation of a nail magazine 5. Repeating the above process, the nail magazine 5 can be continuously stapling.

The steering drive 271 is mounted on the X-axis drive 222, the turntable 272 is mounted on the steering drive 271, and the bearing seat 223 is mounted on the turntable 272. In this embodiment, the steering drive 271 can be a stepper motor or a servo motor, so that the steering drive 271 can drive the turntable 272 to rotate and ensure the accuracy and stability of the rotation of the turntable 272.
[0063] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 6 In this embodiment, the carrier 4 and the nail magazine 5 are both in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped. When the carrier 4 enters between the two clamping components 12, the carrier 4 is parallel to the material channel 112.
[0064] When it is necessary to assemble staples into the staple magazine 5, the steering drive 271 works to drive the turntable 272 to rotate, and the turntable 272 drives the support seat 223 and the carrier 4 thereon to adjust the angle, so that the carrier 4 is perpendicular to the length direction of the material channel 112, thereby reducing the distance between the carrier 4 and the clamping assembly 12, and reducing the distance between the staple magazine 5 and the clamping assembly 12, so as to further shorten the stroke of the clamping assembly 12, reduce the time of a single assembly, and thus significantly improve the overall production efficiency.
[0065] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
