The client uses an automated solution of a robotic arm + nozzle to extract from the Tube.

[0003] As the existing devices and methods are used, the shortcomings of the technology are gradually exposed, mainly in the following aspects:

[0004] First, when packaging the tube, manual filling is used. The product tilts in the tube, which can easily cause the product to interfere with the tube wall when the client automatically sucks it up, making it impossible to take the product out normally.

[0005] Second, when packaging tubes, manual filling is used. Product shortages can easily cause inconsistencies between the number of other materials put in by the client and the number of heat spreaders, resulting in the inability to complete the work order normally and product defects caused by empty movements of the robot arm.

[0006] In summary, the prior art obviously has inconveniences and defects in practical use, so it is necessary to improve it. Summary of the invention

[0008] To solve the above problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0009] The automatic tube filling device comprises a loading platform, on which a filling tube is fixed by a clamping structure, and the loading platform is connected to a movable mounting seat by a movable joint, on which a supporting airbag is fixed, and four supporting rods are arranged around the outside of the supporting airbag, and the four supporting rods are driven to diffuse outward synchronously by the expansion of the supporting airbag.

[0010] As an optimized solution, when the ring-packaged product is loaded, the end of the support rod away from the mounting seat is arranged to be inclined upward.

[0011] As an optimized solution, the support airbag is arranged in a long strip shape, and the extension direction of the support rod is parallel to the length direction of the support airbag.

[0012] As an optimized solution, the mounting seat is provided with an X-shaped sliding groove corresponding to the four support rods, and one end of the support rod is slidably installed in the sliding groove.

[0013] As an optimized solution, the mounting seat is further provided with a reset structure for driving the support rods to gather inwards.

[0014] As an optimized solution, the reset structure includes a compression spring fixed in the slide slot, and two ends of the compression spring are respectively connected to the end of the slide slot and the support rod.

[0015] As an optimized solution, the clamping structure includes two clamping seats that move toward or against each other, and the filling tube is vertically fixed between the two clamping seats.

[0016] As an optimized solution, the support airbag has a built-in weight sensor.

[0017] As an optimized solution, the movable joint includes a fixed frame vertically fixed on the loading platform, a support block is provided on the fixed frame for vertical sliding, a first connecting rod is hinged on the support block, a second connecting rod is hinged on the first connecting rod, and the mounting seat is hinged on the other end of the second connecting rod.

[0018] The present invention also discloses a method for detecting the filling amount of a Tube automatic filling device, comprising the following steps:

[0019] S1: Set the load value;

[0020] S2: The weight sensor determines the weight of a single product;

[0021] S3: product loading operation;

[0022] S4: Determine whether the loading value is reached according to the total weight;

[0023] S5: The support airbag is inflated, and the support rod is propped up to fix the product;

[0024] S6: The movable joint drives the mounting seat to flip, and several products are inserted into the filling tube simultaneously.

[0025] As an optimized solution, in step S4, if the total weight reaches the loading value, step S5 is performed; if the total weight does not reach the loading value, step S3 is continued.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0027] The present invention uses a weight sensor to determine the weight of the product for counting, which solves the uncontrollability of manual counting and ensures the accuracy of counting.

[0028] The airbag supports the strut so that the surface of the strut is in surface contact with the inner wall of the annular product to ensure the straightness of the product on the strut, and then the whole product is placed in the tube to solve the problem of the inclination of the product in the tube, meet the customer's requirements for the inclination of product packaging, and greatly improve the yield and production efficiency.

[0037] When the ring-packed product is loaded, the end of the support rod 5 away from the mounting seat 3 is arranged to be inclined upward.

[0038] The supporting airbag 4 is arranged in a long strip shape, and the extension direction of the support rod 5 is parallel to the length direction of the supporting airbag 4 .

[0039] The mounting seat 3 is provided with a sliding groove 6 in an X shape corresponding to the four support rods 5 , and one end of the support rod 5 is slidably installed in the sliding groove 6 .

[0045] The device controls the movement of the movable joint 2 through the servo, and sets the load through the program. Since the specific program does not belong to the innovation of this solution, it will not be described in detail here.

[0046] The present invention also discloses a method for detecting the filling amount of a Tube automatic filling device, comprising the following steps:

[0047] S1: Set the load value;

[0048] S2: The weight sensor determines the weight of a single product;

[0049] S3: product loading operation;

[0050] S4: Determine whether the loading value is reached according to the total weight;

[0053] In step S4, if the total weight reaches the loading value, proceed to step S5; if the total weight does not reach the loading value, proceed to step S3.

[0054] The working principle of this device is:

[0055] After the equipment is started, the loading mechanism moves to the product pre-loading state, tilts upward N degrees (angle N can be set and adjusted), the support airbag 4 is in the initial state, the support rod 5 is attached to the support airbag 4, and the clamping structure 7 is in the initial stage (maximum spacing state: the maximum spacing can be set and changed);
