Detailed Implementation

[0017] Reference first Figure 1 As shown, a sprinkler 100 provided in an embodiment of the present invention includes a multi-port pipe 110, multiple sleeves 120, and multiple nozzles 130. The multi-port pipe 110 includes multiple pipes 111 arranged at intervals along the circumference and a downwardly extending connecting pipe 112. The number of sleeves 120 corresponds one-to-one with the number of pipes 111. Each sleeve 120 is fitted around the outer circumference of a single pipe 111. Each sleeve 120 is provided with multiple nozzles 121 with different inclination angles. The multiple nozzles 130 are inserted one-to-one into the multiple nozzles 121. During operation, the sprinkler 100 can rotate 360 ​​degrees around the axis of the connecting pipe 112. Water flows through the connecting pipe 112 into the multiple pipes 111 and is sprayed out through the multiple nozzles 130 to achieve watering.

[0018] Reference Figures 2 to 4 As shown, an automatic sprinkler assembly device is provided in an embodiment of the present invention, used for automatically assembling the above-mentioned sprinklers. Figure 1 The sprinkler 100. The automatic sprinkler assembly equipment includes a nozzle assembly mechanism 200, a pipe assembly mechanism 300, an inclined rail 400, a nozzle feeding mechanism 500, a pipe feeding mechanism 600, and a multi-port pipe loading and unloading mechanism 700.

[0019] First, let me briefly describe the working principle of the equipment. During operation, the nozzle feeding mechanism 500 first supplies the nozzle 130 to the nozzle assembly mechanism 200, and the tube sleeve feeding mechanism 600 supplies the tube sleeve 120 to the nozzle assembly mechanism 200. The nozzle assembly mechanism 200 assembles the nozzle 130 onto the nozzle tip 121 of the tube sleeve 120. The nozzle assembly mechanism 200 then sends the tube sleeve 120 with the nozzle 130 assembled into the inclined track 400. Under the action of gravity, the tube sleeve 120 in the inclined track 400 moves to the position of the tube sleeve assembly mechanism 300. Simultaneously, the multi-channel... The pipe loading and unloading mechanism 700 supplies the multi-port pipe 110 to the pipe assembly mechanism 300, which then assembles the pipe sleeve 120 onto the multi-port pipe 110. Finally, the multi-port pipe loading and unloading mechanism 700 removes the assembled sprinkler 100. This equipment integrates traditional multi-process production into a closed-loop process. In traditional production processes, the sprinkler 100 nozzle assembly requires multiple independent processes, including loading, nozzle 130 installation, semi-finished product transfer, multi-station insertion, and finished product unloading. Each process requires dedicated equipment and relies on manual material transfer and positioning calibration. This equipment has a low idle rate between processes, high equipment utilization, requires no frequent manual intervention, has good assembly consistency, and low production costs.

[0020] Reference Figures 5 to 8 As shown, the nozzle assembly mechanism 200 includes a tray 210, a pressing rod 220, a rotating chuck 230, a first power component 240, a second power component 250, and a third power component 260. The tray 210 is horizontally arranged and has a through hole for the nozzle 130 to pass through. The pressing rod 220 is located above the tray 210. The first power component 240 can drive the pressing rod 220 to move up and down. The rotating chuck 230 is used to fix and restrict the rotation of the sleeve 120. The second power component 250 can drive the rotating chuck 230 to move horizontally to below the sleeve feeding mechanism 600 or the tray 210. The third power component 260 can drive the rotating chuck 230 to rotate. The rotation axis of the rotating chuck 230 is horizontally set.

[0021] When the nozzle assembly mechanism 200 is working, the tube sleeve feeding mechanism 600 supplies the tube sleeve 120 to the rotating chuck 230. The rotating chuck 230 clamps the tube sleeve 120 and restricts its rotation. The second power component 250 drives the rotating chuck 230 to move horizontally below the tray 210. At the same time, the nozzle feeding mechanism 500 supplies the nozzle 130 to the tray 210. The first power component 240 drives the pressing rod 220 to move downward, thereby pressing the nozzle 130 on the tray 210 into the tube sleeve. On the nozzle 121 of sleeve 120, during this process, the third power component 260 will drive the rotating chuck 230 to rotate, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of sleeve 120, so that the pressing rod 220 can press multiple nozzles 130 into multiple nozzles 121 with different tilt angles. After all nozzles 130 are assembled on sleeve 120, the rotating chuck 230 pours sleeve 120 into the tilting track 400. Through the action of gravity, the tilting track 400 can further transport sleeve 120 to the translation chuck 320.

[0022] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the tube feeding mechanism 600 includes a first conveying track 610, a vibratory feeder 620, a first linear vibrator 630, a pusher 640, and a fourth power component 660. The top of the first conveying track 610 has a second positioning groove 611, which extends along the length of the first conveying track 610. Multiple nozzles 121 of the tube sleeve 120 pass through the second positioning groove 611 upwards, which can restrict the multiple nozzles 121 of the tube sleeve 120 to remain in an upward position. The first linear vibrator 630 abuts against the bottom of the first conveying track 610. The fourth power component 660 can drive the pusher 640 to perform lifting and horizontal movements.

[0023] When the tube feeding mechanism 600 is working, the vibratory feeder 620 supplies tube sleeves 120 to the first conveying track 610. The first linear vibrator 630 works in conjunction with the pusher 640 to transport the tube sleeves 120 in the first conveying track 610 to the rotary chuck 230. The first linear vibrator 630 generates vibration, and the vibration force transports the tube sleeves 120 out of the first conveying track 610. The fourth power component 660 first drives the pusher 640 to move downward. The pusher 640 is inserted between two adjacent nozzles 121. Then, the fourth power component 660 drives the pusher 640 to move horizontally. The fourth power component 660 contacts the nozzles 121, thereby pushing the tube sleeves 120 out of the first conveying track 610.

[0024] Reference Figure 7As shown, the rotary chuck 230 is provided with a first positioning groove 231 for positioning the sleeve 120. The first positioning groove 231 includes a cylindrical groove 232 and a horizontal groove 233 that are interconnected. The axes of the cylindrical groove 232 and the horizontal groove 233 extend horizontally. The horizontal groove 233 is located above the cylindrical groove 232. The side of the rotary chuck 230 has a notch 235 that communicates with the first positioning groove 231. The sleeve 120 can enter the first positioning groove 231 through the notch 235. In some other embodiments, the rotary chuck 230 can also be configured as a claw structure to fix the sleeve 120 by clamping. In addition, the translational chuck 320 is also provided with the above-mentioned first positioning groove 231 for positioning the sleeve 120.

[0025] Reference Figure 7 As shown, in some other embodiments, a vacuum cylinder 234 is also provided in the first positioning groove 231. The vacuum cylinder 234 is fixed and can generate an adsorption force. The vacuum cylinder 234 is used to hold the sleeve 120 in the first positioning groove 231, thereby fixing the sleeve 120.

[0026] Reference Figure 5 As shown, in some other embodiments, the tube feeding mechanism 600 also includes a pressing member 650 and a fifth power member 670. The fifth power member 670 drives the pressing member 650 to move up and down. The pressing member 650 is located at one end of the first conveying track 610 away from the vibrating plate 620 and is located above the first conveying track 610. The fifth power member 670 can drive the pressing member 650 to move up and down.

[0027] When the tube feeding mechanism 600 is working, the pusher 640 pushes the tube 120 out of the first conveying track 610, while the pressing member 650 presses down on the tube 120 inside the first conveying track 610 to prevent the tube 120 from tilting upwards, so that the tube 120 can be aligned with the first positioning groove 231 of the rotating chuck and enter the first positioning groove 231.

[0028] Reference Figure 8 As shown, in some other embodiments, the nozzle feeding mechanism 500 includes a second transport track 510, a gripper 520, and a sixth power member 530. The second transport track 510 is used to supply nozzles 130 to the gripper 520. The gripper 520 is used to clamp or release the nozzles 130. The sixth power member 530 can drive the gripper 520 to rotate 180 degrees, so that the gripper 520 can transport the nozzles 130 on the second transport track 510 to the tray 210. When the pressing rod 220 presses down on the nozzles 130, the gripper 520 releases the nozzles 130, so that the pressing rod 220 can press the nozzles 130 into the nozzles 121 of the lower sleeve 120.

[0029] Reference Figure 6As shown, the tube assembly mechanism 300 includes a rotary chuck 310, a translational chuck 320, a pushing mechanism 330, a seventh power component 340, and an eighth power component 350. The rotary chuck 310 has a slot, into which the multi-port tube 110 is placed from top to bottom. The slot restricts the free rotation of the multi-port tube 110. The seventh power component 340 can drive the rotary chuck 310 to rotate. The multi-port tube loading / unloading mechanism 700 can supply or unload the multi-port tube 110 from the rotary chuck 310. The structure of the translational chuck 320 is similar to that of the rotary chuck 230. The first positioning groove 231 of the translational chuck 320 is used to fix and restrict the rotation of the tube sleeve 120. The eighth power component 350 can drive the translational chuck 320 to move horizontally to the inclined track 400 or the pushing mechanism 330.

[0030] When the tube assembly mechanism 300 is working, the multi-port tube loading and unloading mechanism 700 supplies multi-port tubes 110 to the rotary chuck 310, and the inclined track 400 provides tube sleeves 120 with nozzles 130 already assembled to the translation chuck 320. After the translation chuck 320 receives the tube sleeve 120, the eighth power component 350 drives the translation chuck 320 to move to the position of the pushing mechanism 330. The pushing mechanism 330 can perform telescopic movements. The pushing mechanism 330 can push out the tube sleeve 120 in the translation chuck 320 and push the tube sleeve 120 into the outer periphery of one of the pipes 111 of the multi-port tube 110. After the tube sleeve 120 is assembled, the seventh power component 340 drives the rotary chuck 310 to rotate, so that the next pipe 111 of the rotary chuck 310 is aligned with the pushing mechanism 330, thereby preparing to assemble the next tube sleeve 120.

[0031] Reference Figure 5 As shown, in some other embodiments, the inclined track 400 is located below the first transport track 610. The inclined track 400 includes an arc-shaped segment 410 and a horizontal segment 420 connected to each other. The arc-shaped segment 410 is connected to the rotating chuck 230, and the horizontal segment 420 is connected to the translational chuck 320. The position of the end of the arc-shaped segment 410 away from the horizontal segment 420 is higher than the position of the horizontal segment 420. When the rotating chuck 230 swings downward, the sleeve 120 inside the rotating chuck 230 just falls into the arc-shaped segment 410. A second linear vibrator 430 is provided below the junction of the horizontal segment 420 and the inclined segment. The second linear vibrator 430 can send the sleeve 120 on the horizontal segment 420 into the translational chuck 320.

[0032] Reference Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, in some other embodiments, the multi-tube loading and unloading mechanism 700 includes a third transport track 710, a sorting assembly 720, and a suction cup assembly 730. (See also...) Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, the sorting component 720 includes a support frame 721, a support member 722, an ejector 723, a limiting rod 724, and a ninth power member 726. The support frame 721 is fixed on the third transport track 710. Multiple limiting rods 724 form a limiting space 725 along the circumferential direction. The lower end of the limiting rod 724 is connected to the upper end of the support frame 721. Multiple multi-port pipes 110 are stacked in the limiting space 725 along the vertical direction and are located within the limiting space 725. The limiting space 725 is used to restrict the rotation of the multi-port pipes 110. Every two limiting rods 724 are sandwiched on both sides of the pipe 111 of the multi-port pipe 110, thereby restricting the rotation of the multi-port pipe 110. This arrangement can make full use of the height space, thereby reducing the space occupied by the equipment in the horizontal direction. The limiting rods 724 can be set vertically or bent. The third transport track 710 has a horizontally extending limiting groove 711 in the middle. The limiting groove 711 is used to position and cooperate with the connecting pipe 112 of the multi-port pipe 110 located at the lowest position, thereby restricting the movement of the multi-port pipe 110 along the third transport track 710. The support member 722 can move horizontally to support or release the multi-port tube 110 in the limiting space 725 into the support frame 721 below. The pusher member 723 is used to push out the multi-port tube 110 in the support frame 721. The suction cup assembly 730 can be raised and lowered and can move horizontally. The suction cup assembly 730 includes a tenth power member 731, a first suction cup 732 and a second suction cup 733. Since the vacuum pump device provides suction to the first suction cup 732 and the second suction cup 733, the tenth power member 731 can drive the first suction cup 732 and the second suction cup 733 to be raised and lowered and moved horizontally together. The first suction cup 732 is used to pick up the multi-port tube 110 on the third transport track 710 into the rotary chuck 310. The second suction cup 733 is used to remove the multi-port tube 110 from the rotary chuck 310.

[0033] When the multi-port pipe loading and unloading mechanism 700 is working, the ejector 723 first ejects the multi-port pipe 110 inside the support frame 721 to... Figure 10At the multi-port pipe loading station, the ninth power unit 726 removes the support 722. Without the support 722, multiple multi-port pipes 110 within the limiting space 725 fall downwards. The lowest multi-port pipe 110 in the limiting space 725 falls into the support frame 721. Then, the ninth power unit 726 pushes out the support 722, causing it to insert above the lowest multi-port pipe 110, lifting the multi-port pipe 110 above it. The first suction cup 732 is moved to the top of the multi-port pipe loading station by the tenth power component 731, so that the first suction cup 732 picks up the multi-port pipe 110 at the multi-port pipe loading station. At the same time, the second suction cup 733 moves to the top of the rotary chuck 310, and the second suction cup 733 also picks up the multi-port pipe 110 with all the pipe sleeves 120 assembled on the rotary chuck 310 and sends it into the material box 800. The loading and unloading operations can be completed at the same time in one movement, which can greatly improve production efficiency.

[0034] Reference Figure 10 As shown, in some other embodiments, the number of sorting components 720 is two sets, and the two sets of sorting components 720 are symmetrically arranged along the third transport track 710 to achieve a dual-station feeding effect. The two sets of sorting components 720 can alternately feed a single multi-tube feeding station, which can further improve production efficiency.

[0035] Reference Figure 10 As shown, in some other embodiments, the sorting component 720 also includes a plurality of limiting frames 727, which are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction and are fixedly connected to the limiting rods 724. The limiting frame 727 has a through groove adapted to the multi-port pipe 110, and the plurality of limiting rods 724 pass through the through groove. Only when the multi-port pipe 110 conforms to the angular position of the through groove can the multi-port pipe 110 pass down through the limiting frame 727, which can ensure that the multi-port pipe 110 falls into the support frame 721 at the correct angle.

[0036] Reference Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, in some other embodiments, the multi-port pipe loading and unloading mechanism 700 also includes a correction component 740. The correction component 740 is located below the third conveying track 710. The correction component 740 includes a fixed baffle 741, a correction plate 742, and an eleventh power component 743. The fixed baffle 741 is horizontally arranged and fixed to the bottom of the third conveying track 710. The correction plate 742 is provided with a V-shaped groove 744. The eleventh power component 743 is used to drive the correction plate 742 closer to or away from the fixed baffle 741. When the correction plate 742 is close to the fixed baffle 741, the V-shaped groove 744 can contact the connecting pipe 112 of the multi-port pipe 110 extending out of the limiting groove 711, thereby correcting the position of the multi-port pipe 110 so that it is in a centered position, which is beneficial for the subsequent process to be accurately picked up by the suction cup.

[0037] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 11 As shown, the top of the V-shaped groove 744 is provided with a circular groove 745, which can be positioned and matched with the connecting pipe 112 of the multi-port pipe 110, resulting in a better correction effect.

[0038] It should be noted that, based on their motion characteristics, each power component in the above embodiments can be adaptively configured as one or more combinations of linear cylinders, rotary cylinders, lead screw motors, rotary motors, and linear modules, or as other common types of power components, without any limitations.
